High bar?

Thanks man!

I plan to write on a few more subjects and then get into the practical field of how to actually train. I've sketched out 3 sheets of ideas to write about.

I'd like to talk about the core, the tendons, the calves, frequency vs volume, partial ROM movements and actual training templates.

Well yeah... I mean it makes sense to isolate the muscles in order to compare them. But it has to be the same machine with the same settings.

Otherwise, leverage differences in different machines, the number of wheels for the machine's cable etc might give erroneous results.

1852
Well, it's a hard question. I think maybe the best you could do is test them in isolation on the same machine, if you have a machine capable of being both a leg curl and a leg extension machine.

1853
Yeah but in that movement both the glutes and the hamstrings fire. So you're basically comparing a group of two muscles with the quads. How do you know how much contribution the hamstrings give?

1854
Yeah but how did you determine that your hamstrings are so much more stronger than your quads?

1855
Really? How did you determine this?

a few of the RL DLRVJ felt pretty good, interestingly.

Cliche reply: Although i adore Gerald Green's aerial skills, VC in his prime didn't dunk next to 7' guys, he dunked OVER 7'2'' guys:

Can't get over that dunk, in my list it is #1 , tied with the MJ over Ewing one.

that probably wasn't even vince's prime in terms of ups.  his early toronto days were.

Those WERE his early Toronto days. The 2000 Olympics was after his 2nd year in the league.

Vince was actually training with a football friend back then. Goes to show the difference between football and basketball prehab training, I guess :D
