lol, thanks for the words of wisdom, vag. Feel free to offer coaching whenever you please; I do it all the time from my amateur seat over here   

With respect to the length, I was more worried that it was too short, rather than too long. But I don't think that's going to be such a big deal, now that I think about it. I can give it a go, see where it takes me, and then reevaluate.

short blocks are great though from a stagnation standpoint, especially for that reason you listed.. you can really get a good idea of what this block is 'doing to your body/physiology' without dedicating a crazy long time to finding that out.

  What is ironic about that video is what he is saying about very powerful natural athletes is in truth, the exact opposite.  Many of them have never been properly strength trained and end up tearing an acl or having multiple injuries that could easily have been prevented via better joint stability provided by adequate strength training means.  And standing on a wobble board while rubbing on the supercat is not going to accomplish this.

yup, they usually develop huge reciprocal inhibition in agonist/antagonist muscle groups, involved in whatever it is they are training for.. that can easily cause all kinds of MAJOR injuries, even though it results in greater performance.. proper resistance training is a great way to help prevent joint stabilization to that extent, through strengthening of antagonist muscle groups.. sure you can achieve that many ways, but wobble boarding while fapping to a cheetah poster won't do it.

That's a sweet fucken Vertec man. Jumps look higher than you said actually. Nice pop. Do you ever get much ache in your calves/ankles? and if so, do you still do lower body training on that day?

thanks man!

nah calfs are always fine.. it's usually my heel that bugs me, especially the lower left side.. has something to do with my LR plant.. it was bugging alot tonight actually, i think it's cause i didn't warm up too good, there was some rain clouds overhead so my warmup was really short.. thankfully it didn't rain but I really should never skip out on a warmup like that :/

if my calfs/heel is bugging i'll still squat/bodyweight etc.. if my ankle is bugging, in 'ligamentous' areas, then i won't squat.. i've hurt my 'deltoid ligament' pretty bad way back, and squatting made it worse.. so i'll avoid lower if that happens.

peace mang!

bad day, someone in my fam angered me hardcore (uncle), but it helped fuel my squat session pretty hardcore.. plus had a small hard drive error.

bw = 159 <- gah! but my RHR PR of 41, 40, & 39 this morning was badass
soreness = none really
aches/injuries = lower right back bugging a bit, back in general achy, left knee a bit achy, left heel achy

see what a day off does to you ^^ hehe..

workout: jumps on vertec! will post vid tomorrow or something.. too late to do that stuff now

- jumps on vertec:
-- SVJ = 122" touch (26")
-- 1step lead = 127" touch (31")
-- 2step lead = 128" touch (32")
-- jumps were actually good, i usually jump pretty shitty after a big dunk session.. so looking optimistic for wednesday
-- those jumps were supersetted with 4 x 25 MR buttkickjumps submax
-- finished with 2 x 50 MR buttkickjumps submax


- walk (~4mile) + MR tuck jumps:
-- MR tuck jumps: 10 x 10 MAX EFFORT, got some pretty good bounce going max
-- had one .6 mile run, legs dead

- half squat: 245 x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (~30-45s rest in between)
- half squat: 255 x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (~45s-60s rest in between)

- bar dips: 11
- neutral grip pullups: 12


peace

i had a few jumps which possibly could have been 129 off two steps, like the zoom in picture, but my timing was off.. takes some getting used to for vertec again, had alot of weird jumps and almost jumped into it a few times.

 

  I cant stand those sportslab people, especially Gavin, he says the dumbest shit in the world and they think the supercat is the answer to training everything.  And even though I like him, B.J. Penn has been getting his ass handed to him since he started training there.  Check this out, Gavin blabbering retarded bs.
