Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: BOX JUMPS ARE STUPID - STOP BRAGGING AND DO A REAL VERT, BITCHES
« on: July 25, 2010, 12:55:49 am »
the only one that can brag about box jumps is frank yang because his standing vert was 40, he is 5'9 or shorter, and he did 60+ inch box jumps... unfortunately, people seem to care more about their box jump numbers than their actual vert numbers, when in reality their gains in box jump height is from practice and/or flexibility gains..
stupid idiots.
i hate box jumps.

ok so crossfit claims a "world record 56 inch box jump".. listen, congrats to the guy and i share his love of jumping, but box jumps suck and if I were the world leader I would ban them from youtube/video.
http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/007017.html <-- world record link
for example, the 56" world record is a sub 30" vert most likely:

« on: July 24, 2010, 07:04:17 pm »Haha yea badgers are vicious as hell. Used to have one that made his home in front of one of our deer blinds (not a honey badger, just a badger) that would come out and talk shit to me by snarling and growling every time I went to the blind. I literally had my rifle tip in his mouth on more than one occasion and couldnt bring myself to pull the trigger since he looked like some kind of pet or something lol. I finally conceded to call a truce and brought him bacon or ham every time I would go out there and he actually got fairly tame. He wouldnt growl or snarl anymore and he would politely go back in his hole once he was given the food.
hahah.. that badger debo'd you for some ham and bacon.. epic.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: no bounce, need bounce
« on: July 24, 2010, 06:34:20 pm »bench 5x175, 3x185, 3x195 -- had more in me but the fucking spotter just grabbed the bar after three and re-racked it! WTF!
i did that once to someone, I felt so bad..
when you have a less than optimal bench session, why don't you finish with some bench assistance? such as paused db bench/paused bb bench sets, etc?

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: vag's journal : Age vs Vertical
« on: July 24, 2010, 06:22:54 pm »24 July 2010
-7 Days Vertical Jump Cure routine.
-My usual lower body stretch routine.
Yesterday's dunk session was probably sub-max due to the heat. Today i am perfectly fresh , no soreness , no ankles/shins bugging , nothing like other after-dunking days.
whoa.................... that's a good sign... damn!

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: July 24, 2010, 06:16:37 pm »so you had 10lbs in each hand or more than that? then you did 400 walking lunges! that would be pretty tiring
do you squat anymore? that's what i think about when it comes to vertical and speed in the weight room...squat and oly lifts...but i haven't seen a new squatting video on you channel..unless i missed it or something
well i just got back into squatting but i'm not going heavy, and it's more like a quarter-squat jump-squat at the moment.. i don't plan on going heavy anymore.. I go push myself too hard with maximal weights and have gotten some injuries from it.. it's alot safer to push myself with submax weights.. I mean I'd love to work submax (very slow progressive overload) for so long that my max shoots way up, i mean, that has happened as of recent, as a biproduct of those 400 walking lunge sessions + natural ghr's.
so ya i'm going to keep the weights light.
peace man
I know Adam link and a lot of other guys keep telling me to push the weight like it's you max and you will get results

yup that's a great post/blog by him, he's right on the money.

but anyway sometimes i feel that when i do 85% and above on my squat the weight is too heavy to go fast and my form is not good enough either...so i go slow down and as fast as possible up
ya well, you're still pretty young in the training process, so you will get used to heavier weights as you gain more experience.. but regardless, heavy weights don't move fast in general, but as long as you are TRYING to move them fast then you're approaching the rep properly.. if you're doing some single on squat @ 95%, it might take 2-3 seconds to complete the rep, but in your head, you're trying to complete it in one second.. that's the kind of "speed" you're trying to explode through the bar with, maximal rate of motor unit recruitment.
