ya it wouldn't be too hard, would definitely take some time though, and i'm pretty burnt from programming all those years i just have this mental block with it now... so kinda hard for me to get anything done.

pc

I can help out too. Maybe we should start something open source and DB based. I'd be really keen on that. Would be great to be able to enter workouts, sleep, soreness/fatigue ratings and meals, bodyweight and be able to graph all that shit. Something aimed more at serious athletes than fitness people.


someone pm'd me about doing some work on the site, havn't heard back yet, but ya, open source thing would be pretty cool, i don't have the type of hosting to set that up though.. but that's a really great idea.

^BEASTED.

I do agree we might have to clear those progress trackers every month or cycle though.
So far I think it's a great tool, takes a bit of time but it provides motivation and overview.
The effort drips all over this stuff, just great.

Enough sweettalk, GET THAT SHIT MANG!`$*!@!

lol thanks

ya well i'm going to let my progress tracker grow pretty big to 'advertise it', everyone else seems to be putting a link in their sig and putting the tracker in page 1 of their thread, that's cool too.. but i need to show people how effective it will be if it is maintained, so i will keep adding it to the end of my posts for some time.. i might put the 1-liners in page-1 though or something.

lead by example ! :)

cya mang, bout to go dunk, dno how that's gonna go.

Adarqu, I always thought VERTEC testing is rather accurate if done correctly. What problems do you see with it?

nah i'm all for vertec testing.. i'm just saying, it has some potential problems in how you swipe for the sticks, when you're at max height.. also stretching out while tilting all weird could skew the results slightly.. these are just +- 1-2" problems though, nothing major.

If ur gonna keep adding on... Pretty soon each post is gonna be one page.


who cares???? heh


Obviously that guy does lol

HELL YEA BRO!! FILL A WHOLE FUCKING PAGE WITH ONE WORKOUT, THAT'S HOW WE DO ON ADARQ.ORG BABY!!!

well it wouldn't be one workout then would it, if it's progress tracker, it would be a workout plus tons of data from past workouts.. thus it would be tons of workouts.

good try though.

Couple studies..

Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that CMJ and SJ, measured by means of contact mat and digital timer, are the most reliable and valid field tests for the estimation of explosive power of the lower limbs in physically active men.

i remember hitting like 123-124" on vertec at the time, which would be 27-28" based on 96" reach, but i was getting 30" on the dot on the jumpmat.. i put a 30" stool next to me and compared the jumps, directly in line, and they looked about even.. so ya maybe a good jumpmat is more accurate.. jump and reach has it's issues, it actually takes some timing and you can get all thrown off reaching up.

the most accurate jump testing would be head-height testing or high fps video testing imo.

not sure why you guys are your saying flying in four is a scam.  I have it, it's legit.  I'm pretty sure kelly wrote the workouts.  All it is is basically three different 4 week programs, beginner , intermedaite, advanced and it includes a little about stretching , the testing day what to do.

ya those 1 month blocks seem solid from what i've seen.. definitely not a scam.

on the actual topic, plenty of info out there, it's all pretty simple, spending money makes people feel better about doing something for some reason, though, it's not needed imo.. the info is out there, the exercises are known, it comes down to improving your lifts, jumping, improving fitness, improving body composition, eating clean, getting enough sleep, etc.. ok pay me $100.

What if we made some simple software to log all of it? Wouldn't really be too hard... at least I don't think. Depends on what exactly it is we wanted.

ya it wouldn't be too hard, would definitely take some time though, and i'm pretty burnt from programming all those years i just have this mental block with it now... so kinda hard for me to get anything done.

hey man check to see how i do it in my journal.. copy and paste the pre-formatted template from that blog article, it's in a little section by itself.. because what you're going to wantto do is put the date and then the squat etc, UNDER the headline.. so it becomes a list.

check my journal out bout to post my stuff from today, you'll get the idea better now that i have 3 days done.

Wednesday 1/12/2011:

-Track Warmup

-Weights
  -Squat: 210x2x5, 200x1x5 ( :personal-record:, sort of... I was advised by a coach to go lower to hit hip flexors more so I changed my third set to 200 and went deeper. I think I'll start back at 200 and keep the increased depth. It hit other areas that I felt were weaker, plus I had no problem going as far as I did because of long legs or anything...)
  
  -DB bench press: 60lbx4x5 (post injury  :personal-record:) ....( actually that's where I was the day I tore my shoulder... I'm feeling good about it)
  
  -GHR S1: 3x8  :personal-record: (FELT AMAZING, HAMSTRINGS ARE STILL COOKED)
  -Seated rows S1: 180x3x8 (PR'ish... maybe. Never really keep track)

  -Stretch and PWO shake


Probably one of the best days I've had, getting 60 in each hand for DB press felt good, progress on that has been slow until now, so I'm excited to see what happens. Going up to that weight really showed me the difference in strength between my right and left though... probably the most satisfying lift of the day. Nothing too special with the squats, from what I saw, I didn't really like the depth on the 210's but 200 felt pretty good at a deeper squat.

Side note: I did GHR and seated rows as an upper/lower superset like I did when I was doing the Scrawny to Brawny program. Also, while I was in the locker room, one of my friends that I used to lift with all the time (the one who recently screwed up his shoulder) mentioned that my lats look wider and my back was looking thicker. That made me pretty happy because he sees me all the time, and even he noticed. Overall, it's been a great day for everything.

great post, great job on PR's, great session.. ya man you look way bigger than your initial pics on this forum.

going deeper on squat is going to hit the glutes/hams harder, not really the hip flexors.. for hip flexor stuff you really need direct isolation work.. 4-way hip, bands, BSS can hit them.

svjs were 2 hand rim grabs ~ 30-32"

Wouldn't you have to be getting higher for that?  Or is your 92" reach measured with a 2 hand reach rather than 1?

x2, i owulnd't be able to2h and grab with 30", with 32" ya, but myreach is 95".
