Probably because you're even less reactive/you're not yet aware of how to use a shorter last step/you learned to reach out to the rim from basketball.

how do i use a shorter last step?

you just have to practice it, alot, using proper drilling.

Those head jump pictures are insane man! You are getting up ridiculously high lately! Hope you will set PRs again soon!

thanks man, appreciate it.. i hope to fly tomorrow! this little peaking block im on has me feeling great, tomorrow should be good.. only thing is i'm 165 somehow haha.. my legs have been getting huge though so it's ok, but i definitely put on a little bit of fat back on my stomach, i definitely don't have low bodyfat genetics.

peace!

NATURAL GHR: 10 x 5
- 10 sets of 5, adjust according to fatigue but always glutes squeezed + neutral back, never cheating on form
- NOTES: very strong tonight on ghr, went midway on most reps, even fought through some > 10 second reps to raise up.


Nice job man. Yeah 10 second reps must be brutal. Should get one full one in not time, keep it up.

thanks man, i've started to realize though that focusing on a full one could be a bad idea.. i mean, it really rips my hamstring insertions hard, those tendons get wrecked.. i just have to keep hammering away at this partials at whatever 'depth' i can go, and just let that strength happen over a long time.. those negatives on ghr wrecked me up so bad.. it's kind of similar to how deep squatting wrecked my hip so then i just said F it and went half squat..

we'll see though!

peace man

winged the workout, as i left before u posted adarq.
luckily i didnt go too far off, tried to add abit of weight to the previous workout.

stepups were tough, maybe cos my legs are short or something.
when i had my foot on the step, my thigh was abt parallel to the floor.

good work man, sorry about that.. damn different side of the world thing strikes again, but you got it right pretty much. ill paste next one tomorrow when i wake up so you get it on time.

peace

funny shit.

The whole staff had these, everyone ended up with cuts on their Achilles.  Comfy shoes, meet the current minimalistic trend, but the cuts sucked.  We all ended up cutting off the back of the shoe  >:(  This made them wearable but they obviously failed a lot sooner than if we didn't modify them.

We all thought they had a ton of potential

weird.. i never had them dig into the achilles at all, even wearign very small socks.

Wow, those depth jumps onto boxes were really insane!

That's a pretty cool video actually and I like "we are training movements, not muscles".

ya that's pretty much my stance.. if you take away the ex phys/ex sci research, you get simply movements, effort, intensity over time, what you feel, how you feel etc. I like to listen to those things more than detailed scientific overanalysis of training, I find it much more effective :)

peace man, and yeah some of those dj's were very nice.. i'd rather tham dj for touch height rather than box jump but it's still good to see people getting closer to actual plyos.

look at the start with the post workout..has bedtime foam roll hot/cold showers!!

i personally believe cardio equipment is the biggest rip off in the world..running is better...but that is imo(please don't flame me all over the place i am gonna hit up another thread where you can do so)

well, it's not a rip off for them.. in team settings like that, it's usually necessary.. you can tell a guy to go do x speed on a treadmill for y minutes, and crap like that.. plus it's right there in the weight room, so it's convenient.

i prefer to do my cardio outside, for sure, but, when working with teams and groups of athletes, sometimes that cardio equipment is needed.

peace!

Thanks for saying this Andrew.  I couldn't agree more!  They are a stupid exercise and I have NEVER programmed them into any athletes training.

np man!

Check the shoes for the sprints & jumps.

haha nice! definitely the spiked version on the sprints & spikeless on vert i'd imagine, pretty sick, good eye.

Hmmm.. well, is there any significant reason to use whole over low fat? I mean, I already have plenty of good and bad fats in my diet. Aside from about 15%-30% less calories coming from fat (depending on the actual type of milk) I don't see why I should use whole milk.

if you're getting enough calories then just use skim etc, but i use whole because i need more kcal for the most part and hate the taste of skim :D

peace
