Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Age vs Vertical
« on: March 18, 2014, 11:11:32 am »
Hm... for me it's almost impossible to train on the track during Winter and during Summer... for the simple fact that during Winter it's too cold and snow on the track, and during Summer it's too hot (40+ degrees Celsius) and you die.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: The low bar squat is not an exercise
« on: March 18, 2014, 10:29:49 am »
Well I personally have never felt any quad strength improvement whatsoever in the months and years of low bar squatting. And this is a big thing because I always collapse at the knee, in both the one-leg and two-leg jump.
I might squat 160 kg low bar but my high bar squat is still at the same level as it ever was in the last 5 years or so (and I believe it's a strength issue, not a movement efficiency one).

Now now... read the whole article...
I think there are more nuances that aren't being discussed in the comparison of the two, and one of the most important and understated of these is the foot dorsiflexion demands/dorsiflexion adaptations that the high bar requires/provides. And with that comes a ton of other "side-effects".

I would re-arrange that in a way where the plyos/jumps/sprints are being prioritized. Check out my last post in my log and see what you think.

Thanks man!
Yeah, at this point, I just install themes and stuff like that...
For example, on this particular theme, if I want to access it by phone... that "resume" of the site keeps on popping up and you can't close it. Sucks.

How are you doing your power cleans? From hang or from the ground? Since you didn't say "hang power cleans" I assume from the ground.
If you do them from the hanging position, then I found out that it's best to do singles instead of more reps. For me, whenever I do even two reps the amount of fatigue I get in my hands becomes a very limiting factor in actual power expression in the clean itself. The bar starts to feel heavier and heavier every second I stay with it in my hands and the arms start to wander around in bad, weird positions.
So today I did singles (3x1 instead of 1x3) with like 20 seconds or so breaks in between, and all my reps were explosive and powerful. Just something to think about.

That's the toughest question you could ask me... because I've been battling this all my life (but never really put the effort to correct it).
Maybe one way would be to strengthen the hamstrings AND the glutes... and to stretch the heck out of your rectus femoris and hip flexors in general all day long, every day. Foam roll, blah blah... but who has the time for that from a practical standpoint?
