I wonder how much Marco Rubio can bench.
I mean... I mean Ricky Rubio.

Yeah I'm MUCH better at pulling. It was always easy for me. Pulling of any kind. Deadlift, pullups, chinups, rows (though I never do barbell rows) of all kinds. I can do narrow grip cable rows with 120 kg (the heaviest the machine can go) for like 8 reps. I have seen only one guy in my gym doing that, and he's ~40 kg heavier than me (~90 lbs heavier).
Same with jumping - "pulling" myself in the air as in a one-leg jump where I don't bend my knees to jump is easy, whereas "pushing" myself up is very difficult.

Why is it that hard? That's just how I've always been. Why aren't you bench pressing 4x? Why aren't powerlifters bench pressing 10x? Why not 10423842958 x?
You're just saying stuff like we're all the same and have the same built, CNS, and another 2578934534753847 parameters. The fact that I've been training SPECIFICALLY for the squat in the last 6-7 years CONSISTENTLY and I still haven't reached 2x should tell you a thing or two about my body.

Good luck with that. I've benched pretty consistently in the last 6 years, and my 8RM never exceeded 65 kg. Genetics, baby!

Maybe a good idea is to keep rotating pullups-chinups-neutral grip pullups, like I do.
I do 3 sets of 3 of these... and then start with the 2nd exercise the next time and so on.
pullups-chinups-ngp
chinups-ngp-pullups
ngp-pullups-chinups
etc

I don't think you're getting sick... I think you're sore from that tennis that you played

I should work more towards the relaxation realm of athleticism if you're already that strong IMO... think bounds, jumps and sprints. NOT NECESSARILY depth jumps which are, by the way, calf and quad oriented exercises.

Depth jumps are not made to be "endurance" exercises...
I don't even know what scooby's max strength levels are, and... ah fuck it, I know I would waste my time trying to write stuff so I'll just shut up.

« on: May 13, 2014, 05:36:33 am »You could read a book in the time you're on the ground during those depth jumps. They need to be much faster. Everything needs to be faster really. Also, I feel sorry for your knees jumping on that hard surface. I guess you're wearing those patella straps because you're getting some inflammation there?
Thanks for the ground contact suggestion... i did feel slow.... and the 20 lbs ball is too heavy......
hard to find better surface where I am, I did hope that Adidas Boost sneaker is able to save me from the impact.
the knee strap is there for safety sake, I did have sore knee.. from training.. squat and jump etc... but nothing serious yet...
Scooby... really man... after all these years... you still go for shit like this?
By the way - have you ever used a kettlebell before?

You could have properly trained during that time!
