« on: July 25, 2010, 03:54:20 pm »question adarq, will i be doin any drills that might improve my actual jumping abit?
not really.. we're just going to be doing lots of jumping and jump-assistance exercises like the low-level reactive work.. your jump isn't as bad as you think it is, form wise, you just need to jump maximally more and your form will come together better.

i'll see if i can post a vid up, but i feel that im lacking somethin... just think that i should have been able to go up at least a few inches more.. :/
where's your vid you posted, of your jumps? i want to check it out again, it's buried somewhere in your journal..

« on: July 25, 2010, 06:20:48 am »Heavier lunges next time?
ya im pretty sure i should just keep progressing until i cant hit 400 each leg with whatever weight.. or until that soreness becomes very extreme..
surprisingly my quads are not sore at all after those lunges sessions.. hamstrings are usuall less sore than glutes.. so that's a good sign you know? i should really push the intensity and maintain the volume until im taxing my strength/recovery capacity fully, imo.
peace man
Sounds like a cool plan. My quads are never spre from lunges. Always only hams and glutes.
they (quads) were extremely sore the first few times i did 400.. but they adapted pretty well.. i'd expect some soreness honestly, i'm surprised there is none after 10lb db's, which is 20 lb total BW.. who knows maybe 40 lb total BW will hit them, dno though, doubt it.
ps: im glad i dont have any quad soreness, don't want any either.. I want only one day soreness from these sessions, mostly glute & ham.. so it should be interesting as I progress the weights, to see how much soreness I get.
Whats the idea of these though? Indestructible hamstrings?
to somehow build legs that thor would be jealous of.
i figure i've spent 25 years of my life not stimulating my glutes/hamstrings, so i have alot of work to do.. walking lunges allow me to recover between reps as i alternate legs, yet still really hit the musculature very hard each session.. my legs have been growing pretty good since i've been doing them with just bodyweight, so using weight will help me really put some significant mass on my glutes/hams, and even quads even though they aren't experiencing DOMS etc.. beyond that, it also is a great conditioning workout, i mean my fitness/work capacity has increased a ton in the last few months.. my unilateral strength feels ridiculously high.
so ya just overall conditioning/strength/mass.. the number seems high, i agree, but the results are exactly what i'm after, a combo of conditioning + strength + mass all in one..
peace man
Sounds great.Could this be used to loose weight? Like instead of jogging or riding a bike?
well a session definitely could be used to burn a ton of kcal ya, but you just couldn't really do it every day.. i wouldn't advice that, could be too much for the hips/knees, even tho mine feel fine, every day could become problematic.
yo im out!

« on: July 25, 2010, 06:00:34 am »yea man, im glad its a bit of a break from squatting maximally. hope it doesnt affect current strength levels though.
not too sure what weights to attempt tho, do u want me to feel it out as i go along?
go by feel at first.. we'll build off that and get to the right percent of 1RM after a week, but keep it a bit lighter for the first week.. for example, on a 3x8, don't 8RM that's for sure, do 3x8 with something you could do for 3x10 etc..
we're easing into it for a week so it would be pointless to go all crazy about the exact weights u know? go by feel, it'll be just as good.. keep from straining maximally on any of the final reps.

bw = 161
soreness: glutes mostly, hams a little bit
aches/injuries: feel pretty good, left ham tendon acting a little odd at times
ok so uh, workout started real bad.. had to goto the bathroom prior to training, but couldn't.. ya i know TMI but trying to sprint like that is a type of torture..
workout:
- 20 yard sprints x 20 <- felt good but obviously not 100% considering the bathroom issue haha.. even though i tried to go 100% my mechanics were all f'd up
- C1: Neutral grip pullups: explosive(5, 5, 5, 5, 5), BW + 20 lb (5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5)
- C1: Bar-dips : explosive(5, 5, 5, 5, 5), BW + 20 lb (4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4)
- C1: Natural GHR : Partials (5, 5, 5, 5, 5) , Partials (5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5)
- ^ circuit rotation.. not high paced.
so the workout was good after all... having fun adding weight to dips/pullups... my work rate is very good lately, have to use it to the max.
my schedule for next few days should be something like:
- Sunday: sprints, squat singles complexed with jump squats, GHR
- Monday: workout 1: dunks + reactive work workout 2: 400 walking lunges each leg with 20 lb db's
- Tuesday: sprints, circuit of pullups-dips-ghr's
- Wednesday: sprints, squat singles complexed with jump squats, GHR
- Thursday: workout 1: dunks + reactive work workout 2: 400 walking lunges each leg with 20 lb db's
we'll see if I can stick to that rotation... that has me jumping after two full days off from jumping, hopefully that can help me "heal my heel".. cause that shit is annoying.. but in the mean time, i hope to add more mass to my legs.
peace

I need to get my hamstrings like that... it's becoming an obsession.
it can't be done!!!! that's impossible...does'nt it feel like your ass is about to explode when you do it??? i think it just might
obviously he used invisible strings haha jk
it's mostly all hamstrings for me, hardly any glute, though i am contracting my glutes hard.
i will get it done eventually, guarenteed!$!@
