« on: July 13, 2010, 06:42:41 pm »my best broad jump (well only time i done it was last year) was 2.85 metres ~112", I want to start recording it again and hit 3m......................THAT VID ANDREW POSTED UP WAS CRAZY!
nice 112" aint bad, get that 120+.
ya i love that vid

The broad jump seems to use a fair amount more glute (hip extension) and less quad (knee extension)
yup, as you go from vertical to horizontal, contribution of hamstrings/glutes increases, quad contribution decreases.

some definite cam angle going on in terms of arm/head height, but you were getting up good on those dunks.
good jumps for sure, i was surprised considering all of your injury-setbacks as of recent.

he's most likely not schroeder, people say he existed at one of the evo-sport seminars.. he's either extremely obsessed or paid to preach.. it's one of those two.

LOL nah I know those were ridiculous claims and that James dude that kept trying to use extreme lingo to try and ward off potential arguments kind of gave him away. I didnt know he was such a d bag though and wondered why he wouldnt say what gains he made in the thread.
yup, because as "smart as he is", when you have NO REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE with what you claim you have, in terms of getting results with yourselves and others, then you simply cannot make up any lies that are worth believing.. it's too hard, especially when you're trying to sell a method would is supposed to turn avg people into archuletta's.. imagine if he said he had gained 5" on vert and gained 10 lb muscle in 4 years, can't sell iso extremes with that.. so instead, it's:
"i didn't gain anything for a few years until i finally figured them out, then i turned into a freak in one month, but i have no video or any way of proving myself, also i have absolutely no credentials or testimonials from any athletes i have helped over the years, but take my word for it iso extremes will make you into archuletta". -- lulzguy

It was fun to stay up and read the whole fucking thing for nothing then. That being said I did a couple of iso holds for 1 minute today before my workout. hahahaha.
hahahahahahahah!@$!@$!@%!@%!@
nice man, it takes a minimum of two years to be able to do them correctly though.. did you PULL YOURSELF INTO POSITION? bwahahah! if not, pull... if you didn't gain anything in 6 months, pull harder... if you're pulling as hard as possible, then you're not pulling hard enough, or you aren't thinking about sprinting.. if you are doing all of that and still no gains, did you flinch? if you flinch they don't work.

« on: July 13, 2010, 05:31:31 am »Andrew , with my current schedule i seem to always skip the DJs:
I leave my jumping session for 1 day before "next" weightlifting session so i get the most rest from the "last" session. But the jumping sessions are quite stressing for ankle/shins area so next day i skip the DJs.
I figured that its not a big deal because:
-Jumping max 2xweek is already covering most of the needed plyo work.
-Im doing that explosive workout too ( 8x2 explosive box squats ) almost every week.
-Gym supscription ends next week and then it closes for summer , so ill be off the weights for ~1month so ill have the chance and im already planning to engage more id Depth Jumps and Depth Drops that that month.
Doesn't really mater as i only have 2 more lower body workouts left , was just wandering if i was wrong and i should have gone ahead doing the DJs too...
replace them with MR tuck jumps for now, sets of 10-20
hm, in fact, why not just do the MR tuck jump stuff at the end of your jumping session, when you're nice and warm.
peace mang
Ahhh, very nice!
I am doing tuck jumps , 2x5 of them in every dunk session , between dynamic warmup and jumping , not max height though and also not stiff legged , probably less stiff than your semi-stiff vid:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQMyI_Be-Vo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQMyI_Be-Vo</a>
-3x10 at the end of jumping sessions seems a great idea! Should i push it more if i feel ok? like 3x15 or 4x10?
-Should main focus be:
1) Maximum leg stiffness?
2) Minimum ground contact?
3) A good combination of both without getting too dramatic?
Id go for 4x10 with style (3)
Thanks a lot man...
np man..
if you feel great doing them, then I would use sets to add volume, not reps.. though, i like to do one high rep set.. so say, if you feel good, do something like:
- 3-4x10
- 1 x max-rep (<=50, no more than 50, stop on any form breakdown)
^^ so pretty much like in the video i uploaded.. i took ~1 minute breaks, but you can take even longer breaks to recover more fully.
i would focus on very quick GCT with as much height as possible, BUT, not as much height as possible regardless of GCT, if that makes sense.. so not just bouncing real fast like an RFI, and not going max height spending too much time on the ground.. pretty much in between.. really fast arm swing will help do the trick and "thinking about fast GCT".
this will help you focus on your reactivity still, and build a better base for those dj's next month.. dj's will be alot better having done this than not having done it.
peace man!
