I don't think I can get much better at jumping itself at this point... my movement efficiency is very very high at this moment... it's the lack of strength that's the culprit. It won't be a tragedy if I shy away from jumping for a bit, especially as I gain weight and fat and jumping would only cause great joint shocks and will feel like a sperm whale. It doesn't make much sense in my book. If I were to do "some" jumping, of which I might, I don't believe it would do anything for me to be quite frank.

I won't suddenly forget to jump just because I won't jump for a couple of months.

What makes sense to me is to do some kind of hypertrophy work to increase the muscle size a bit, then follow it with strength work to improve the neural connection of the new muscle (yes I know, I simplify things but you get the idea) with some MSEM every now and then, cut down on the fat, get some plyos after I'm leaner and lighter and enjoy my gains. This is the medium term idea.

why do you have to gain "weight AND FAT" ?

WTF , that's unreal !!!     

What's your hand size? It looks like you're getting wrist at rim? Or is it just cam distortion?

Mind blown anyway!!!     

his hand is 7", there is surely some slight distortion on that highest jump, so what looks like 2-3" down his wrist becomes more like 1" down his wrist or base of hand, which is still 127-128" - 89.5", which is

BEAST

MODE.

haha

ya man ur the human vertec, i give it two thumbs up over here, i imagine you will too after some analysis

peace man!!

I think lazyness also comes from not really believe in what you're doing.

For example I'm lazy doing plyos because I don't believe they're going to help me at this moment.

well, as humans we over-think things, we need to approach training somewhat as a daily fight or flight situation, which incorporates a variety of different energy systems/types of motor unit recruitment.. getting in some plyos/reactive work when you "don't think they help at the moment" becomes futile, because in essence, you need reactive/ballistic work almost daily to remain an athletic human capable of performing at any given moment to fight for your life.. taking out all reactive work in favor of just some slow training won't help in the realms of us being "prey".

so next time you think about not needing reactive work, picture a honey badger coming at you, and your only defense would be to sprint or MR tuck your way to safety.

peace :F

12:15 AM and I'm still awake because of the stupid bodybuilding.com girls pics threads.

I am a fucking idiot. Good night.

6:34 am and i'm still awake because of the IRC's.

:/

Yeah I might do that on Workout C. Was planning on doing depth jumps once per week.

The problem is - my bodyweight will increase and it's not really smart to do depth jumps and stuff like that I guess.

so then do LOW-LEVEL reactive work, tucks, pogos, quick lunges, submax drops, VJ's, jump rope, etc..

bw = 151
soreness = glutes/quads/hamstrings, considerable
aches/injuries = left ankle a little
fatigue = mental (not much), physical (moderate)

EDIT: diet: keep forgetting to log this..
- 4 protein shakes (16 oz whole milk + 20g protein), 3 eggs sandwhich on 2 slices multi grain breead


workout: dribble + reactive + strenf
- ~45-60min of bball dribbling (very explosive)
- ME MR tuck jumps: 4 x 10
- some jumps off 2 steps, head height: hit my head on some sign that is ~9' high, it's anywhere from 8'10-9', no lower than that.. hit my head hard on it.. it was fun, plan on video taping it next time i go to do a session like this, which will be friday or saturday.. i'll try to smash the sign off the chains holding it up, the sign says "pizza stop" lolol... never thought about doing that before at this shopping center, it was very fun, around 10 jumps.

circuit:
- deadlift: 135 @ 8, 8, 8, done
- db shrugs: 60 lb @ 25, 25, 25, 20, 20, 20, hold for time: dumb
- widest grip pullups: 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8

going to do some calf raises later, 5 x 50 probably

peace!

shock? care to elaborate?

what LBSS said, it's 4x10 depth jumps from around 30" box height, something that people shouldn't do unless they've been training for a long while

check out my "Instant RFD Part 1" article in blog section, it goes over a few of my shock experiments.

peace !

that crotch at the head is nuts (no sexual innuendo whatsover intended, lol). MAD HOPS!

that's a STRVJ, salad toss running vertical jump.
