That's cool that you trained with Avishek. Good for motivation and everything.

132.5x6 would be slightly over 2x bodyweight if you were 66kg

Pics, Videos, & Links / Re: chin ups with 75lbs attached
« on: April 12, 2013, 05:57:38 am »lets be honest here... what's the fkn point of doing a chin up with 75 lb strapped? it does not good for the vertical jump... just gives u bigger biceps so u look like a fucki faggit.
This website isn't just for vertical jump...
Anyway nice work on the chinups.

I know this is probably obvious but don't forget to stretch and warm up before you do you're sprints/conditioning or you could end up pulling/tearing a hamstring etc (I did in November and it sets your progress back months!!!)

Impressive. Maybe he'll be the first Asian to go sub 10 100m.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Workout before or after work preference
« on: April 01, 2013, 05:47:50 am »
I work on a production line full-time so I stand up for 10 hours every day 5 days a week and start at 4:30 am so I'm forced to workout in the afternoon/evening. If I started work later though I'd defs work out before going to work but training after work is ok as long as I go home and eat or just relax for a couple of hours first. I wish I could get a job in an office.

Don't worry his swimming will have him dunking in no time!

Sounds like it went ok and you didn't get injured or anything so next time you'll perform better. You got the height to be great at long and high jump.

Thanks man, interesting observations. I'd love to see a study on femur/tibia lengths, height and SVJ in trained individuals and see if there's any correlation.
The study has been done in recreational athletes. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16503672
Only foot length had any correlation to vertical jump. I don't think you are going to find a significant difference in trained athletes as far as tib/femur and SVJ goes. In general the advantages somewhat balance out. Lankier longer femur guys will have an obvious leverage advantage IF they have equal strength levels through the range of motion... which they usually don't because they have to do a lot more work.
Cool, thanks for the link. Interesting stuff.
Gym:
Activation/warmup
SL TKEs: 2x20/leg@15kgs
RDLs: 2x8-10@30kgs (warmup), was going to do heavier but I went at a bad time, Friday afternoon so all the racks were taken, got sick of waiting so I just did some weighted back extensions instead.
Back ext: 2x10@6kgs, 1x10@16kgs
Close-grip pullups: 2x8
Crap workout, probably worst in awhile but it's just an assistance session so that's OK. I really hate my crowded gym sometimes, wish I had the space/time/money to set up a low-key home gym like entropy or adarq, just a rack w/pullup handles, barbell, weights, maybe few kettleballs. That's my dream anyway
X2!
