About the post wo nutrition... it takes about an hour for a significant amount of whey protein (and even casein) to enter your bloodstream after ingesting it. Therefore, it would make sense to take it at the start of you workout, and then when your finished (presumably in about an hour), it begins recovering your muscles pretty much immediately.

Is it Smolov JR the "Smolov program - Base mesocycle"  in here http://joeskopec.com/smolov.html ?

Anyway, did you put in your real 1RM with the program or a little less than your true 1RM? For example, if I'm to use it, I think I'll insert a lower 1RM number than my real 1RM (say - 135 instead of 140-145).

I used a tested 1RM, 2 days prior to starting the program.

Smolov JR = Smolov Base Mesocyle with a slightly different rep scheme to make it slightly easier.

Just a note, if I were you Gary, I would absolutely continue squatting during the switching phase, maybe 3x a week.

Of course I mean light squatting

But 15 days of no squatting in a row (base cycle ends on a saturday, next cycle starts 3 mondays later) will DEFINITELY make you lose a lot of neural strength in the squat, especially after getting in 12 high-volume squat sessions in just 3 weeks.

x2, never go 72 hours without squatting imo.. submax/rep effort is better than no effort, that's for sure..

neural gains are still physiological, people forget that..

dreyth is a smolov expert, so his advice is highly respected :F

haha lol, did smolov jr for 9 weeks straight and i'm planning on doing it again after the summer.

Program Review / Re: "Flight Right" by Brandon Todd

Program probably sucks, he's probably not 5'5 and/or the rim is probably not 10'0, and not only that, but there are people on this board who jump higher than him through proper training already.

Waste of time, don't do it.

Damned dubstep! I like the lyrics from Sarah McLachlan's "Silence." And what's one of the songs called in the second mash-up? Melody sounds familiar.

My brother makes mash-ups too, I should post some but idn where he saves them.

I have a feeling I'll be the only poster in this thread (or not now that I said that [or I will now that I said that]).

u felt wrong bruh

my friend sent me above & beyond: group therapy album.. havn't listened to it yet, going to today when i dunk, looks promising though form youtube.

glowstix son.

Dam.. the album kinda disappointed me, but their group therapy tour was phenomenal when I went to see them.

I like their slow songs from the album a lot though:

buttttt i think their older slow/chillout songs kick ass more imo:

And one last comment... I think the "Burning Bridges Mix" of "Thing Called Love" should have been a bonus track on the album. I like it better than the version they put on the album itself:

Now, you MIGHT have a point here, but only if you can propose a better model than the percentage based one. Go ahead.

I'll try.


Possible inches you can gain =
[ (70-SVJ) * 0.9 *SVJ ] /  3.2[ SVJ - 3 ]


I'm being kinda serious here. i did a few examples and it looks kinda accurate. SVJ = starting SVJ at 17 years old with no prior jump or weightlifting.

My opinion is that half-squats are never a legitimate exercise for any purpose under any circumstances.

Any athlete that has a legit TRAINED 36-38" SVJ started out with a 30-32+.

I do not think partial squats are SPP. I think they are an ineffective way to train anything, because their mechanics are sufficiently different from normal human movement patterns that they are actually counterproductive.

You can't create "elite" jumping numbers (36"+) with any kind of squat if elite jumping genetics are not already there

And what the hell does bodyfat have to do with this as a training goal?

My rule of thumb in these matters is ABOUT 25% improvement in untrained vs trained SVJ, with emphasis on the S. I didn't make the goddamn percentages up -- they are the consensus of every high-level S&C coach I've talked to about this, every high-level athlete that has trained the SVJ for performance, and my own personal experience.

Half squats are used -- and their use rationalized in this way -- by coaches that do not know how to teach the full squat successfully, that have never disciplined themselves to learn and use the full squat personally, and that run typical shitty collegiate S&C programs that get by because their recruiters put enough genetics on the team that it looks like half-squats and Hammer Strength actually work.

LOLLLLLLLLLL ok so if you have a 30" SVJ already you can only increase it by  6" LMFAO.. that's only a 20% increase in vert...


mind you, I've went from a 27" RVJ to now a 38" RVJ over a period of 4 years. Mark Rippetoe has ZERO knowledge when it comes to vert training. What a tool.

That quote has been mis-quoted all the time. I always hear the 15% version of it...

I think the truth is that you only use 15% at a time.
