Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Why you might consider learning the hang snatch
« on: November 27, 2010, 05:54:44 pm »A friend of mine did some research on a masters thesis several years back and the high hang snatch actually came out ahead of the depth jump and loaded jump squat as far as EMG specifity to the VJ.
is that in that study you linked? I'm going to check it out later.

Want a simple formula to shoot for as it relates to gains on the lifts for overall athletic success? Add your bench press, midstance legal squat, hang snatch, and hang clean together then divide by your bodyweight. The number to shoot for is 6. If you can hit that chances are you're gonna be one explosive m'fer. I learned that formula from a throwers coach years ago. His wife IIRC was a bobsled competitor and former college basketball player. Acording to my notes here he said that in college basketball she ran her butt off for 4 years and ran a 5.1 40 at 208lbs when she left basketball. Two years of weight training later she weighed 212 and ran a 4.7 and improved her vertical 6 inches without running or jumping in training.
In 1985 her bodyweight to strength ratio on the 4 lifts was just below 3.00. In 1987 it rose to 5.33 and she became a different athlete.
I had a guy a few years back really dedicate himself to that formula after I discussed it with him. His main focus was getting bigger and more muscular the explosive gains were secondary. I trained him for a while and got him started and he kinda took things on his own with occassional input from me and over a span of a couple of years went from 155 to 190 lbs and increased his vert from the mid 20's up to 39 inches and all he really did was throw in some depth jumps occassionally.
nice data & formula.
here's a nice vid by lance on jump snatch, a quick progression, stuckintheair surprised me with his hang snatch form, learned it very good from this video & he's only 14, anyone can do it
He's also a big proponent of hang snatch/hang jump snatch and it's correlation to vj.

« on: November 27, 2010, 02:58:06 pm »how many times a week are you squatting? i thought you were going for 245x5x10?
ya tomorrow i'm going for it.. im less sore today than i was yesterday, so the 225 sets were 'light'.. i would usually deadlift yesterday but my low back injury of old is being aggravated by it, so decided to sub squatting back in.

Mixed Martial Arts / Re: VAN DAMME GONNA DO MMA WTF YAAAAAAAAA!!!
« on: November 27, 2010, 05:06:31 am »yeah but when someone does a lil fake combo on him and then takes him down, hes gonna be wishing he was fighting Tong Po or whatever again
regardless, he shouldn't be fighting, he's old, and most definitely slow.. his chin probably sucks now.
poor guy, more power to him for stepping in the cage though, when he does.. but if he fights anyone decent, he's going to get manraped.

« on: November 27, 2010, 05:05:27 am »Well.. Frank wants pussy haha. Just look at his "Max Effort Whoring Adventure" on Facebook. In Frank's defense, he's not some T.V. show that got cancelled and returned with a crappy premiere. Weird analogy, lol.
good analogy haha.. i could care less, if he wants to vert/strength train, then cool, if not, cool, his art is nice, he's weird, he writes cool shit.. it's funny to see people beg him for training videos.

Anywways if you want to see more stuff like that... scream more while lifting, become bi-polar and record yourself while doing it. Also remember to run suicides after/while drinking a gallon of milk and eating a crapload of bananas, do ghetto workouts with your screaming brother and do/show funny shit in high school to upload them on youtube later.
yup.. the next frank yang is waiting to be unleashed, inside of you!!!

« on: November 27, 2010, 04:21:07 am »Are you UL that 21 footage. Dont know what that is, so Im curious.
a jump and a game of 21 ^^^ ... i want to play in full courts, i'd pull of some insane footage.. need to fig out how to anchor my camcorder, if i could figure that out, make it "unstealable" (making it very hard to steal it), then i'd be able to get some great footage..
i plan on tearing up some courts again..... i think it's time
11/26/2010
bw = 154
soreness = hamstrings (alot)
aches/injuries = left ankle, left lower back... left ankle hurt before playing the game of 21, then during it felt fine, and after it felt fine.
fatigue = moderate
diet = protein shake + 1 teaspoon coffee, jumps/basketball, protein shake, turkey/mashed potato leftovers + 2 pieces of pumpkin pie, squatting + protein shake, protein shake
workout #1:
- jumps & game of 21
workout #2:
- half squat: 45 @ 3x10, 135 @ 10, 185 @ 5, 205 @ 5, 225 @ 15, 15,
- neutral grip pullups: 10, 10, 10
great speed on those 225 x 15's.... 225 x 20 will fall soon on vid and it'll look good, won't look like hell.

Video quality from my phone is pretty gross. I may replace it eventually, but there it is. My first day landing a back tuck. On the best of the ones I did, but it was decent. Later I was getting higher and I was told I might be able to do a standing full. Who knows. Adding a full turn to that would terrify me, but I learned it it would be amazing.
nice!!!
