Adarqui don't be mad cuz they did'nt let you in..they said your vertical was 2 high did'nt they?
sprint speed you say? do you mean outa the blocks or top speed and acceleration? because the only thing i can find that it would help is outa the blocks...i thought top speed was more reactive and acceleration was a mix of both
correct me if i am wrong, just taking guess here
I'm still jumping better with a longer last step... I guess it just developed over time. So does Adarqui's boy Eddie if I remember right.
(You know, like these out of shape clients dad's you run into who claim to have run 4.3x 40's back in high school or college.. well, they've been telling themselves they've run 4.3x for 20+ years, so now they actually believe it)
hahaha every fucking day. The most common one is "I used to box" yet in their first class they dont which foot to put forward. lol lol lol. There is so many people like that, they say the same thing over and over until it becomes truth to them. hahaha soooo true. This made me lmao because I often wonder if other people who train athletes had to experience this shit as much.
I used to have a huge problem with all the athletes coming in that would claim to run 4.5s and vert 40 and would always call them out immediately. Now I have them fill out a stat sheet and take it with me to the track when we test. Its alot easier to tell someone they are completely full of shit and get it to sink in when they have just made a fool out of themselves a few seconds earlier. I have had probably less than 10 high school football athletes give me their realistic 40 times when they came in, and a few more than 10 college athletes that are honest, most of whom are smart enough by that age to realize "this guys fixing to test me" . But the majority are waaaay off, some because of their coaches falsifying their own times to them, and some of them because," I jump and run faster than anybody in my school so .... 40 inch vert, 4.3 40yd". Funny how I have yet to have a guy come in that has underestimated his stats. Maybe one day, that would be a nice change of pace for me.
i don't get it, teh cloud 9 free throw dunk it looks like his head is at the rim when he's about to dunk it and he was still going up till a little b4 he was about to dunk it, is it the camera or what????<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6TY0Ojkybk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6TY0Ojkybk</a>
Don't know if that would count as "regular people" lol
Yeah I guess so.

There is a good long video from A-Link there , analyzing jumping form.
Its mostly technique for SLRVJ , the 2 real examples are also 1-foot jumpers , but he insists many points are the same for 2-foot jumpers too.
It also looks like its gonna be a 4-vids series there , released gradually.
Sure worth a look , let me know what you guys think...
Well that's actually good that it bothers you because, like me, I think you will agree that AC was giving up good advice. I mean the guy wasn't talking silly stuff and he was a pretty nice guy. The photoshopping blew the thing up.
So when you combine these two things in an antithesis... you can't help but feel bad for the whole situation.
Maybe he should photoshop a few things and that's it...
I hate that my knee is injured... because I can do pretty much the same thing even though I have much more bodyfat than that guy so it's more difficult for me (and I was doing them on the floor by the way... with just a gym mat folded a few times under my knees)...
This video really makes me want to go out and film one natural GHR rep...
might explain your speed too.. I have analyzed my jumps/bounds/2-leg bounds frame by frame yesterday and discovered a few things:
1) I don't get "deep enough" on my two-leg bounds so I think I put mostly quad in them (since I bend at a 1/4 squat position); I need to focus on getting deeper.
2) I don't completely hip hyperextend... I use just a short burst of hip extension and then stop it. If Bret Contreras was right, pulling the heels at my butt (flexing the knee) improves your ability to hip hyperextend by 5%, so that's interesting. I need to work on both more, hip hyperextension and heel-under butt pull and then leg extension forward to land further;
3) I don't use my arms like I could/should. I need to extend them and use the momentum they create.
Well first off, that was really cool. Secondly, "Sorin" is a Romanian name
And thirdly, I do pretty much the same thing before a heavy squat or deadlift. I usually psyche out, I feel the body temperature increase, anxiety, electric current through the body, a rush of power and tension occuring, and then I just go and do my thing. It's great but it's very consuming on the CNS.
After reading about every single thread on the internet regarding Jay Schroeder and his current stance on ldisos (all of which stemmed from trying to find a fucking video clip Ive seen in the past haha), I have come to the conclusion that he has developed a mental disorder, shortly after Adam entered into the NFL.
The level of his lies are what strike me as "insane".. Those lies cannot even pass for "white lies", they are on a level of fantasy and lunacy that far exceeds rational and logical thought.Its beyond me how someone could have the amount of training knowledge he has, have produced training means that actually were effective (before the ldisos), and want to ruin it all by turning into a nut. I mean, he was the first one I recall doing alot of the weighted drop and catch exercises, weighted isometric pauses (the way I saw them done on the vid), and seems to actually have had an effective system PREVIOUSLY.
Pushing that stupid machine and his new religion of only ldisos and other wierd stuff wouldnt make him nearly as much money as putting out quality training videos, quality templates, and personally using his credibility he gained through the Archuleta performance at the combine to train a massive amount of professional athletes. The only conclusion I can draw from it he developed a mental disorder somewhere along the way and is in no way firing on all cylinders now. I mean this new trash hes preaching cant possibly be only for monetary gain or he would surely have taken the route I suggested above.
Its actually kind of sad to me because I appreciate people bringing less traditional methods like the weighted drops, catches, etc. that he used in the past to our attention. Sadly he has ruined the good he did in the past by misleading people in the present. So yea, the dude has a mental disorder in my opinion. He knows way too much about training and physiology to say the things he does publicly and make the ridiculous claims he does otherwise.
If you go frame by frame and stop right where his front knee crosses the line, the iphone does say 4.29. I am not sure if that means anything in terms of accuracy though.
Beastly.
