Yeah I guess you're right. It's even more on your part, knowing how I'm a genius and a playboy and all that stuff. ;D

I'm sure you wouldn't laugh if I sang "Lady Marmelade", would you?

whatever you sing, i will laugh :)

fml

10-3-10
tried again.

vert 27.5 rvj 32

#%&@#$&#%&@*($&@)&$

whatever fuck that shit, session 1 coming up, that reactivity is going to come back, i mean it already did, some excess fatigue from PR'n most likely.. you had a down session, time for some up sessions.

10-4-10

ok well some good news. Just did another jump session to see where vert is at. It went up again so I think I have definitely just been fatigued from session 2 on Wednesday.

vert 28" rvj 33"

Each day it has gone back up. Tomorrow I'll either try to pr or do session 1.

damn, good shit.. fatigue wearing off.. hope you pr tomorrow but if you don't, those damn big PR's are coming soon.

peace

need to make a push for sub 150 !!@$!@%


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.

Hey guys,
  I've been experiencing some right lateral knee clicking since last night. I rolled the heck out of my IT band, stretched my piriformis (dunno if that's relevant to the problem at hand) and iced my right lateral knee and the discomfort isn't really subsiding. I had a lateral meniscus tear diagnosed  via an MRI in 2007 (not sure if I tore it then or earlier) and had a PLC reconstruction operation following the diagnosis and have linering scar tissue, which may be causing or aggravating the "problem." Any suggestions?



i'd give it a few days before getting it checked out.. ice/roll ITB is my general advice, but if it's still bugging at nearly the same intensity by thursday i'd think about getting it checked.. if you are 'adarqui' with no insurance though, you workout :< (edit: knock on wood)

peace

Pics, Videos, & Links / Re: Weighted Vests
« on: October 04, 2010, 10:14:47 pm »
Hi Andrew, did you end up getting a vest? I have several at my gym. 2 X-vest's and an MIR vest. The MIR vest is 60 pounds the X-vests are lighter. The x-vests bounce around a bit but there is better ones available now that don't. The MIR vest is very good.

I only ever use it for straight up and down type jump work (seated jumps, frog jumps, etc) and occasionally throw it on with people for deadlifts, squats etc. It changes the feel of the exercise dramatically. Weight vest training seems to have a tremendous potentiation effect which i like but as for long term results it is hard to isolate something like that because there is so much more involved in what I am doing with people besides the weight vest work. As Lance said about the ropes, it only makes up a small portion of my programs

thanks for the info man, i had not seen the MIR vest, it definitely looks really good for jumps/reactive work/moving around:



that is it right?

I didn't get a vest because I just couldn't figure out which one to buy, too confusing without youtube video demonstrations etc.. But now i'm a bit interested in the MIR vest, it's not adjustable? I'd use it for low-level reactive work, walking, light sprints, and short lead in jumps/svj's, so this vest would be good for all of that? It looks great from the picture..

I see a 50 lb. one right now on amazing as well as a bunch of other weights.

peace man

SR sessions are planned as max 20 yard sprints and max DLRVJs, although given the limitations of the facilities I have available, that might have to change (e.g. there isn't always something to jump to, sometimes it's raining outside so the track is out, etc.). Might be helpful to have a menu of activities, actually. Thoughts on that?

i thought sprints were bugging your toe?

you can sub sprints with mr tucks, mr pogos, high speed jump rope (100 turns), stair sprints etc

pretty hard to sub for DLRVJ, but if i had to, i'd pick MR DL (double leg) BOUNDS for distance, not max distance/deep landings though.. so using no deeper than a half squat landing, bound for distance, around 5 bounds, keeping note of where you landed, maybe putting a marker, and trying to beat that each set.. you could go on for 10-15 total sets.

i have vid in exercise index and other vid on my youtube (over hurdles), over hurdles gives pretty much the optimal trajectory, so if you don't have hurdles, you want to mimic that style of dl bound vs those deep dl bounds you see strength dominant throws/other athletes doing.

Why the hell do you keep on laughing? ;D

Just because you know I'm the one singing? Like what goes through your mind, not actually knowing me in person?

"Oh, this guy that talks shit about squats and writes strength and plyo blog articles is singing like a woman most of the times" or what? ;D :P

man i dno why i laugh i just do, i picture you singing, then it integrates into the part of my brain that knows you dunk/jump, lift, forum, sprint etc.. then it sounds girly sometimes, good others, weird others.. then i just crack up.

let's put it this way, imagine if i started putting out songs like that, you'd laugh too, knowing this high sock wearing + forum warrior + dunk/plyo addict is singing.

i know you would :D
