Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Jump Training Multiple Times a day
« on: December 24, 2010, 03:09:25 pm »Technically synaptic facilitation (and the other science behind "grease the groove" concepts) are a component of motor learning. I'm not saying they don't work - for stuff you're relatively unfamiliar with the approach works GREAT (like planches for example). I'm sure for some people the concept will work great for VJ. But if you're the type of guy who:
A: has participated in a jumping oriented sport for a long time
B: performs and thinks about jumping on a daily basis
and
C: is fairly well coordinated without significant mobility, postural impairments
I don't think you'll get a whole lot out of it.
Just to reinforce point C....
In the small amount of time I actually focused solely on jumping I added 3" to my running vert by correcting some ankle/feet issues. It's something that's often left off the mobility/posture list but pretty crucial for running vert.

Also note the phisique from when he was cleaning 160kg for triples. Not the upper body you'd expect for a world class oly lifter (Zach was world university u23 champion).

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Nootropics
« on: December 17, 2010, 04:36:00 pm »lol, no crackkkkk. SSRI's and nootropics mess with your neurotransmitters though so you notice changes in the way you think/feel. The trick is to just get them to make you feel the way you want to.
Yea I remember us talking about the goosebumps thing. I've never had them this intense before.
Yeah SSRI's fuck with you a lot more than is widely talked about. Doctors seem to hand them out for depression and anxiety like they do paracetamol for headaches. The reality is they're not a hell of a lot more elegant than amphetamines or other stimulants and they're preferred because they potential for abuse is lower because the side effects at large short term recreational doses are horrible. They also have some huge dependency issues and possible permanent damage after long term use.
Having said that, Citalopram really did help me when I was a kid. Apart from the weight gain.

« on: December 17, 2010, 04:27:24 pm »In the leg press vid the guy is also locking his knees after extending which you never want to do.
Locking the knees is a natural human movement.
ya there's no problem locking the knees when squatting.
Yah just don't hyperextend lol.

Yah. There's a good reason the front squat is kept in the Bulgarian oly lifting programs. People have experimented with doing nothing but the competition lifts before. It doesn't work all that well. The competition lifts are a pretty strong strength stimulus and source of fatigue though.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: Injury Rates and Profiles of Elite Competitive Weightlifters
« on: December 13, 2010, 03:11:00 pm »nice, dimas/boevski both have had some serious knee surgeries, they are top echelon elite.. i'd like to see some injury profiles for elite lifters, during career and after.. i mean just from what i've seen, plenty of them are getting knee surgeries.
pc
That's true, but they were both freaks even for elite oly lifters.
Boevski was 5'9. That's huge for a 69kg lifter. As far as I know he was constantly plagued with injury throughout his career and really only held it together from 99 to 2001 before fading out again before getting popped for doping in 2004.
Dimas had a ridiculously long career. He was pretty much rock solid from when he started lifting at 12 until after the 2000 commonwealth games when he'd already been lifting competitively 16 years and won 3 gold medals. Even with a dodgy knee and a hyperextended wrist he put up 175 and 202.5 at Athens.
I don't think the knee surgery rate in elite lifters late/post career is any different from other explosive sports that are hard on your body.

Olympic Weightlifting / Re: Heavy weights
« on: December 10, 2010, 07:22:32 pm »Whack tech as in bad?
Obviously not bad but not as refined as most world number 1s. He had some weird things with his pull like using a little bit of early arm pull and shrugging before the second pull and then he power jerked which most people consider less efficient than a split of squat jerk. He looked down before whipping his head back in the snatch too.

Objective: To determine injury types, natures, anatomical
locations, recommended amount of time missed, and injury
rates during weightlifting training.
Design and Seffing: We collected and analyzed medical
injury records of resident athletes and during numerous training
camps to generate an injury profile.
Subjects: Elite US male weightlifters who were injured
during training at the United States Olympic Training Centers.
Measurements: United States Olympic Training Center
weightlifting injury reports from a 6-year period were analyzed.
Data were expressed as percentages and were analyzed via x2
tests.
Results: The back (primarily low back), knees, and shoulders
accounted for the most significant number of injuries (64.8%).
The types of injuries most prevalent in this study were strains
and tendinitis (68.9%). Injuries of acute (59.6%) or chronic
(30.4%) nature were significantly more common than recurrent
injuries and complications. The recommended number of train-
ing days missed for most injuries was 1 day or fewer (90.5%).
Injuries to the back primarily consisted of strains (74.6%). Most
knee injuries were tendinitis (85.0%). The majority of shoulder
injuries were classified as strains (54.6%). Rates of acute and
recurring injuries were calculated to be 3.3 injuries/1 000 hours
of weightlifting exposure.
Conclusions: The injuries typical of elite weightlifters are
primarily overuse injuries, not traumatic injuries compromising
joint integrity. These injury pattems and rates are similar to
those reported for other sports and activities.
Key Words: snatch, clean and jerk, resistance exercise,
strains, tendinitis
