Okay so now that my ankle is finally getting a bit better, I wanna prime myself for some max effort jumps.  Does caffeine really help?  And if so, how many minutes/hours prior to my jump session should I drink it?
yeah it works great for me and others on the site. As for the time, I would play around with it and see what works. i drink a tall mug 10 min before warmups while adarq drinks it 45min before and a few times throughout the day.

When is the best day to go for a jump session?  48 hours after my last leg/squat workout with complete rest in the between day?

How often should I limit caffeine to not make me become reliant and cause any problems?
Again, I would play around with different rest intervals and see which one works for you. For me, 48hrs rest is optimal but some people prefer 24 hrs or 72 hrs.

Caffeine/Coffee just basically helps you perform at your athletic PEAK right?  Ensuring you peak performance in case of other factors such as food/lack of sleep/ etc...  It's not some kind of substance that actually makes your muscles stronger temporarily or anything like that right?  I know it sounds stupid but I just wanna clarify to myself that if I caffeine up and hit a PR on my jump session, I wanna know that that new PR is something my body is capable of without caffeine too.

I have no idea what you are saying but yes, one could say that caffeine temporarily makes you perform better by increasing focus, arousal, etc. With all things being equal (strength, sleep, diet, etc) you will probably jump 0.5-1 inch higher with caffeine if you are sensitive to it.

look at this pro ^^ (zgin = pro).

yup it definitely helps, the more the better (in terms of amping you up), but lots of caffeine can be dangerous soo...

take it about 1 hour prior, it kicks in pretty fast.

this will give you an idea of the amount of caffeine in various beverages: http://www.energyfiend.com/the-caffeine-database

i would get the caffeine from coffee bean sources though, not from chemical concoctions in the form of energy drinks, those drinks have all kinds of JUNK in them.




I use 2-3 teaspoons of instant coffee mixed with whey protein (optional milk in addition) 1 hour before my important dunk sessions.. 2-3 teaspoons of instant coffee would give you around 150mg caffeine:

"According to the USDA*, 1 rounded teaspoon of instant coffee (1.8 grams in weight) contains 57 mg of caffeine. "


I would just make sure that you can handle max effort jump sessions WITHOUT caffeine just to make sure the ankle is good 100%.. with caffeine, you'll be producing even more force and have a higher work capacity for jumping (capable of more jumps), so you don't want to overload until you're careful..

eventually i'll try 4 teaspoons of instant coffee, that'll be fun.. considering 3 amps me up pretty hardcore.. you start feeling really light and aggressive :D

depends on the workout.. if it's a workout that leaves you pretty sore the next day, then generally 72 hours will be a good number.. if you feel only slightly sore the next day and strong, 48 hours will be fine..

for example:

(MONDAY) heavy volume lower workout -> (TUESDAY) soreness the next day -> (WEDNESDAY) active-rest to promote blood flow/recovery (light work) -> (THURSDAY) jump session + lift/repeat etc

(MONDAY) low volume high intensity lower workout -> (TUESDAY) slight soreness , feel very strong, active-rest to promote blood flow/recovery (light work) -> (WEDNESDAY) jump session + lift/repeat etc



Quote

i'd go with 2x/week... 3x/week would be fine also but that's leaning a bit more towards the 'dependent' side of things.. 2x/week will be fine, just use it prior to those max effort jump sessions.

Quote
Caffeine (200 and 300 mg) significantly improved visual vigilance, choice reaction time, repeated acquisition, self-reported fatigue and sleepiness with the greatest effects on tests of vigilance, reaction time, and alertness. Marksmanship, a task that requires fine motor coordination and steadiness, was not affected by caffeine. The greatest effects of caffeine were present 1 h post-administration, but significant effects persisted for 8 h.

Quote
The effects of caffeine on mean performance (+/-90% confidence limits) over all 14 circuits were: sprint speeds, 0.5% (+/-1.7%) through 2.9% (+/-1.3%); first-drive power, 5.0% (+/-2.5%); second-drive power, -1.2% (+/-6.8%); and passing accuracy, 9.6% (+/-6.1%). The enhancements were mediated partly through a reduction of fatigue that developed throughout the test and partly by enhanced performance for some measures from the first circuit. Caffeine produced a 51% (+/-11%) increase in mean epinephrine concentration; correlations between individual changes in epinephrine concentration and changes in performance were mostly unclear, but there were some strong positive correlations with sprint speeds and a strong negative correlation with passing accuracy. Conclusion: Caffeine is likely to produce substantial enhancement of several aspects of high-intensity team-sport performance.

etc..

caffeine does actually make you stronger..

don't think of it as "something that your body is incapable of doing", think of it more along the lines of "it improves your body's ability to utilize what you are capable of doing".

caffeine after all, is found naturally occurring in nature, it is a biproduct of evolution and our human physiology responds very well to it, so it's not something that should be looked at in a negative light.

Program Review / Re: Holosync

Hey I have heard about the Holosync cds from Jason Ferrugia.
I think it is a little costly, but what kind of benefits does it give?
Is it really worth the price?

well, not sure, but people talked alot about it on "db forum", and that forum was full of ineffective garbage & spawned plenty of scammers, so just based on that i wouldn't give it a thought.

Program Review / Re: Body Weight Programs

http://twentypullups.com/
http://hundredpushups.com/

These are pretty good programs. I used the pushups program for like 3 weeks to go from 16 pushups to 50 pushups. y
I am going to do the pullups with chinups ( i like the biceps) and when I can get to 20 I will start to add weight.
You could do the pullups one with dips and the pushups one with inverted rows

Final Verdict: programs really help in driving up reps on bodyweight exercises in a short period of time without the usual guess work that comes with bodyweight exercises.

cool, but there's not much guess work in bodyweight exercises imo.. just have fun and rep everything out, tons of sets until you're toast.




Why does the pull-up page feature a banner with a chin-up image?   :uhhhfacepalm:

Thursday 3/3/2011:

Got a physical today. Fun stuff. (especially since I didn't get touched at all. lol. Seems like every year is less.)

Anyway. Apparently it's entirely possible (though not necessarily likely) for me to just kinda drop dead. Doctor said everything was good but he was a little concerned about my heart murmur. Explained that it isn't weaker hearts that have problems with that, but hearts that are too strong. Mine is just that. Said my heartbeat was really strong and sounded almost forceful. Asked about supplements. Basically I should never take creatine or any other pre-workout supplement or anything like that. Too many stimulants could cause serious problems. Cleared for small amounts of caffeine like in a cup of green tea, or even coffee once in a while, but no 5-hour energy or anything similar. SIMULANTS=BAD.

damn..............

ya dude don't mess with any stimulants then shit.. i went to the doctor a bunch of times for my heart when i was 15-17, said it was fine, but i was getting these "jolts" (and still do sometimes), was worried about enlarged heart etc..



Quote
He wanted me to take some tests but cleared me because of the expenses. Says he didn't want to hold me from track over $600 medical tests that turn out benign 90% of the time. But if I ever have any problems I'm supposed to go see him asap.

Most interesting is that it's not usually a fatigue thing. He said if ever after a third or half a race I started feeling dizzy to the point where I was going to pass out, but I felt like I wasn't tired.... I should go get tested. Says he'd hate to know something happened during training or a meet, so it's better to be safe.


For now I'm good as long as I don't feel bad, and I hope I stay that way the rest of my life. Genuine concerns though... :\

ya man hope it never turns out to be anything..

First track practice is tomorrow. I'm excited. Going to go nom more now.

Background
Did a lot of athletics in my youth, mainly focus on basketball now but am going to incorporate more track work into my training. My previous 1-foot RVJ pr was about 85-7cm (~35'') and SVJ about 31'' at age 18, but back then I didn't focus on vert primarily. Over the last month I've been preparing to get back into it, basically doing a lot of jumping at the courts getting technique back and building up to 1.5x bodyweight max squat at the gym, only decided to start a journal the other day to keep me motivated (as I've read motivation can dip after the first 6 weeks of a goal-focused program, don't want that happening!)

what kind of training did you do when you were 35 SLRVJ and 31 SVJ @ 18? just basketball etc? or what?

27/2/2011 - Lower body weights

Glute ham raises - 4x10-12 @ 88lbs
Full Squat - 1x8@143lbs (warmup) 3x8 @ 231lbs --> got hips below knees, probably too deep on some, but it hurt good
Single calf raises with 55lb dumbell - 2x8 for each leg
45 degree squat machine - 3x10@a pretty low weight, i forgot exactly what but it was around 120lbs

This hurt like hell the next day, especially hamstrings strangely, I think I need to work on my P-chain muscles as compared to my quads they're probably not equally strong. Also I would love advice on whether it's wise to hit all parts of the leg in one workout - I'm really not sure if this gives the best results.

Plyo workout next in a couple of days.
 :ibjumping: oh yeah

squat
lunge
ghr/reverse hyper/45deg hyper
calf raise

that's basically it imo.. if you make progress on those lifts/exercises, that'll hit every part of your legs properly and give you that power to achieve those goals.








Gym - lower body weights

Trying to get leg strength up. Atm i'm prob gonna try and do two leg days and one plyos sess a week if I can (good time to try because uni only just started and there isn't much study to do yet!)

i personally would get in some "plyo work" before each lifting session too.. it can be done in a very short period of time and really amps you up for your lifting portion of the workout.. you could do any of these prior: double leg bounds, MR halftucks, pogos, short sprints. etc.



Quote
Back extension: 4x10 holding 22lb plate

Squat warmup: 2x5 @ 187

Squat: 3x5 @ 265 (1.5x bodyweight)

Calf raises: 2x10 each leg holding 50lb dumbbell

(Also did some upper-body stuff  :strong:, conc. curls, skull-crusher, tricep pulley, preacher)



good work man 3x5 @ 265 is already at that short term 285 lb goal, now get it for 5 in the next 4 weeks or so :)

keep it up man

Over the past few weeks, I've made it my daily goal to consume 8 whole eggs and 3oz of dark chocolate. I hit that goal about 5 days a week. I've had my suspicions about the ultra fast digesting whey proteins in the past (they're absorbed too fast; the body doesn't know what to do so it converts the proteins to sugar. Proteins don't do much good serving as sugar), and am forgoing having them now. I'm content with the slower digesting wheys and am even mixing them with even slower digesting casein containing cottage cheese post workout and...better sit down...even mixing in some fat. My post workout meal is more reminiscent of mother's milk (the stuff we were meant to grow on). Over the course of these past four weeks, I've been eating lower carbs in an effort to lose fat; muscle gain wasn't my current concern. I've added in the extra eggs, extra dark chocolate, and the change to the post workout meal (which is sometimes a breakfast, lunch, or pre workout meal, too). I've eaten less than maintenance, and gained muscle - while losing fat. I've never been more vascular.

Do you agree with this Adarq?

self admittedly not qualified to answer, i know for sure that not ALL of whey would be converted to sugar, that's for sure, but what percentage of it actually would be turned to sugar, would have to get on google scholar and do some research.

i'm trying to eat alot more eggs now-days just in case my whey protein supplementation is not being "utilized properly", the extra eggs definitely have me feeling even stronger.. so far so good.

staph infection is coming back, could be why my sleep has been so wrecked the last 3 days.. body fighting it.. back on antibiotics.

left vmo = pulled/small tear, got a lump in it atm. my plants might have been a little deeper than normal due to the flexibility work i've been doing.. could be the culprit, not sure.. shoulda shut it down before that last jump that tweaked it the most.. all of my ME jumps had the small tweak but only the last 2 became real bad.






03/06/2011

bw = 151
soreness = none
aches/injuries = none prior to training, after training: left vmo pull
fatigue = moderate

ADARQ.ORG ADVANCED PROGRESS TRACKER

PROGRESS-TRACKER-ARTICLE: http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-2011-blueprint-better-gains-through-improved-clarity/

Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.

How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.



IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury <-- happens every time, STOP IT
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+
- cut out milk, water + protein shakes from now on, more vitamin C, at least 6 bananas per day, more chicken/eggs
- utilize pin squats more, pin 6 work up then transition into pin 7

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises
