big PR tonight!@$!@ <-- HEH
10/5/2010
bw = 154
soreness = glutes slightly
aches/injures = top of feet really achy, couldnt even tie shoes tight tonight during jumps, right plantar fasciitis possibly
fatigue = feel good
workout: vertec jumps + strength
- warming up on rim jumps, didn't have the kind of pop i expected but i was like whatever.. put up vertec
- SVJ on vertec: 122" touch WEAK
- 1-step RVJ on vertec: 128" WEAK
- L-SLRVJ: 3 jumps, 122" touch bwahahahah, leg collapsing
- bad-jumps: probably around 12-15, collapsing in plant and jumping into the vertec, actually jumping into it.. PR PR PR.. i don't think i've ever had that many bad jumps in a session ever haha.. my legs felt good all day but when i started my jumping, my mechanics/plant was so wrecked, shit was insane..
- somehow i had massive jello legs, everything was off, CNS was haywire
- pin 11 squat: 225 @ 6 x 10, 245 @ 2 x 5
- ^^ basically falling asleep in between sets 5 through 8, "overtraining basically".. that squat volume made my eyes really tired, i might fall asleep early.. cool
ok well, i definitely can't overdo the tuck jumps the day before jumping, i got a bit greedy.. i really have to get my squat alot higher, it's pissing me off now.. hitting the volume was fun, but i need to be able to rep 315 like that.. i plan on squatting again for volume on thursday, even though i have to be fresh on saturday.. squat needs some priority right now, jumping will be decent, but squat needs to go up.. i'll reduce fatigue when i need to jump & caff up still.
if all goes well, i'll do this:
thurs = jumps + plyo + high vol squat
sat = dunk session + high vol squat
mon = jumps + plyo + high vol squat
wed = jumps + plyo + high vol squat
saturday = dunk session + plyo + high vol squat
etc
peace

10/4/2010
bw = 153
soreness = glutes, low back slightly
aches/injuries = right hip a little
fatigue = a little
diet:
- half protein shake + 3 bananas
- burger on pumpernickle + 1 banana
- half protein shake
- workout
- protein shake
- protein shake + turkey & cheese sandwhich
workout: low volume jumping + high volume reactive
- sprint warmup to court (1.5 miles)
- jumps: didn't do a ton, did like 2 x 5each LR-DLRVJ alternating with RL-DLRVJ, then 10 each leg L-SLRVJ alternating with R-DLRVJ
- lots of power on my relaxed jumps, really had alot of spring.. only jumped from 2 steps on DLRVJ
- on the one LR-DLRVJ that i put alot into got 33 off 2 steps, went back to relaxed jumps.. good sign
- L-SLRVJ was easy 30's, relaxed
- EDIT: my glute cramped up pretty bad during SLRVJ, right glute.. those damn VJ TO SS ada trashed my glutes on saturday.
- MR tuck jumps: 50, 50, 40, 40, 40, 60, 60
- 1-step DLRVJ to SQUAT ADA: about 10 x 1 (during a 3 mile walk)
done
interested to see how i feel tomorrow, i feel real crappy right now, but my recent dunk session came after tons of tuck jumps, so it'll be interesting to see what i jump tomorrow if i feel good.. if i feel real shitty i'll possibly put it off until wednesday (if possible) for the vertec jumps, i want 35" off 2 steps, would be sick.. would like my SVJ to go up a bit past 122" touch too heh.
regardless, have to be peaked saturday for some big dunks, dunking with eddie.
peace
50, 50, 40, 40, 40, 60, 60 of tuck jumps is a lot!!
are they any good ??
well, i recommend staying between 10-20 reps, for MAX EFFORT tucks, i'd stay in the 10 rep range.. i'm experimenting with volume and 'near max effort' tuck jumps etc.. since i've brought back the high rep reactive work my jumping has really been on point.. if you incorporate tuck jumps/pogos etc, just do them before lifting (and after jumping if you do any jumps), for example; warmup, (optional jumps), reactive work (tucks/pogos/etc), lifts, core, ...
peace!

« on: October 05, 2010, 08:39:03 pm »just a thought, maybe he had a fluke moment..I had some insane jumps when i am super relaxed, like 5-10inches more than normal jump due to being unnaturally calm for no cause
5-10 inches???
I've had that with ~2-3 inches but a 10 inch increase out of the blue from being relaxed.
I'm not attcking you BMully, everyone is different and i just felt like posting the pic
i don't lie, i got super relaxed in a game and almost dunked with 2 hands, head was heigh as hell, this was 8th grade
Yes yes. And I won Mr Olympia. It was just a fluke. Im back to fat now again.
that is a physical change, not possible to do just like that..in times of extreme pressure or extreme relaxation, people can get super human abilities..that is how i grabbed rim as 13year old who could only normally get half way up, this one jump i got rim, then it took a while before i got it legit everytime...the cns is responsible for strength and power, we develope it to allow more, but it is always capable of that power
ya bmully is definitely right about a substantial performance increase, verkhoshansky referred to it as the 'innate (protected) reserves'.. in which access to that strength/force output is restricted, but through years of proper/aggressive training, athletes can keep improving how much they can tap into it at their own will.. i mean, i remember i was jumping shitty say 5 months ago, then that cop pulls me over, and i jumped like 3" higher after alot of fatigue, that wasn't even life or death, but that small adrenaline response/heightened cns arousal lead to some gains..
level-7 = PR city.
True. But claiming a 10" sudden increase is idiotic. Thats like when Rip claimed that crazy crazy sprint time because he saw a spider or something like that. Actually I dont remember if it was Rip, but someone did claim to run a crazy time, faster than world record speed.
btw yes, that was rip that ran a WR after having a spider on him
Hehe. I thought I remembered it.
Yes, athletic improvement can increase during certain circumstances we all know (Lev 7 MANG). Yes 10 inch vert increase suddenly is about as likely a sudden 100lbs improvement in the bench. And yes this is a long quote, quote, quote, quote, quote. And we all know that rip pr'd becuase that spider was a super duper mega jumping spider, and when in landed on rip, some of the exlposive and elastic qualities of its legs were temporarily fused with rip's Bi-legged frame.
show me the video of ripp doing a wr in 100m after a spider jumped on him
No vid. Only story.
correction, "No vid. Only true story."
Can I quote again? Looks like fun.
Was it fun?
It definitely was, it's like the LEVEL-7 quote training.
This thread is epic. I only pr when running after the bus
I PR when on massive amounts of caffeine & when my legs feel light.
I tend to jump best when a smoking hot bitch will give me something as a result of great dunking ability.
I know, but doesn't that apply to anybody that's heterosexual?
i jump REALLY good when hot chix are around.. i say to myself, "land this dunk and they will leave their pathetic boyfriends for me".
Why would you want a girl that has pathetic boyfriends? Or is this the kind of girl that looks the best?

Why would you want a girl that has pathetic boyfriends? Or is this the kind of girl that looks the best?
well, their boyfriends might not actually be pathetic, that's just my perception of them because the sexy female is not with me. They are probably very successful, nice, charitable, respectful human beings, what do i kno.
I doubt they are. From what I know about women, which is very little, they all like guys who beat them and love other women, so these women can cry and think about how great it would be if the guys wouldn't do all these things.
possibly, but that illustrates our differing views, you, the pessimist, me, the optimist.
So you're optimistic about your chances toa woman?
17 DOLLARS !!!
( only www.verydemotivational.com followers will get this joke but it's 1000% relevant! )
this is my favorite
Hence we can now conclude that the conservation of angular momentum and its vector quantities contribute to the degree of arousal in the average athlete in regards to vertical displacement when performing a veritcal jump, off the running or counter-movement sort.
I thought that was obvious? clearly this convo has all that crap you made up

Pics, Videos, & Links / Re: squat form check
« on: October 05, 2010, 05:26:03 pm »Well, in most smith machines, the bar alone does not weigh 45lbs, I think it is usually closer to about 25lbs, so that accounts for a portion of the discrepancy.
Depends on the smith , at the last gym i went the bar with it's equipment ( to roll on the smith axis ) weighted 24kg according to the manufacturer , this one is 20kg.Get in a gym with a proper bar and see the difference.
I for one can't squat at all in a fixed bar squat kind of environment...
Agreed , never thought of squating on the smith , i just had to do it once coz the rack was taken.
This gym im going is very close to my home so its really convenient but ill examine my choices.
Still want to hear adarq's extended opinion about normal/olympic bar differences.
i've never squatted on a 'standard bar' so I really don't know.. I'd imagine weight would 'feel' heavier/less stable on a standard bar, because of how small it is and how the ends don't usually rotate.. not sure though, never had a standard bar in any gym i've been in.
Squatting on a smith would definitely suck compared to oly bar though.. Trying to go deep on a smith would feel like hell I imagine.. I personally would think it would be 'harder' on a smith to go deep than free bar, just because of how locked into position you are with the smith, for me i'd hate that.
peace
