hell man, i was beginning to think that i just wasnt destined to at least dunk once haha... just glad that something good happened at least once... need to work on my runup/planting!
lifting up to 4x a week in a strength block...
i dun think i could handle that, i meaning squatting a few times a week!
.. plus some of those can be upper body sessions etc.i was asking that cos i dun see u prescribing me those jumping type exercises like lateral jumps and the like...
if thats the case... the current season should be winding up in 2 weeks, afterwhich is a month's break, before the next season.
we'll be doing this peaking thing for a week or 2, after which we're gonna start with blocks of GPP and strength/explosiveness work?
can each block be shortened to say abt 3 weeks or so? i'll confirm how many times a week i can workout!
Last night I dreamed that I was hanging out with my little brother at the beach, and I said that line from "Supa Dupa Fly" where she goes, "Beep beep, who got the keys to the jeep? Vrrrrrooooom" and my brother pretty much lost his mind from laughing so hard. Not sure why he thought it was so funny, although that IS a great line.
Seems to be a lot of laughter in my dreams recently.
Just cause I want to have access to it later, here's a tight thread on Charlie Francis' forum about training for soccer: http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/showthread.php?t=15334&page=7. Link is to page 7 cause it was about then that I realized that I'm gonna want to go back to this.
If anyone happens to read it, I corresponded briefly with duxx a few months back. He passed along an updated version of the paper he wrote on his soccer training philosophy. He seemed happy to share them freely, so I can pass them if anyone wants.
adarq, what phase of the training am i at now?
was listening in to Jack's audio convo with that explosive edge guy. u were mentioned in that audio interview as well.
they were saying how it might not be that important per se, getting strength levels up, beyond like 2X bw or something.
thing was, they also didnt say what was needed haha...

haha you and adarqui trying slrvj= LOLOLOL im the best slrvj'er on adarq.org, dont challenge it!! haha nice try tho
heh heh heh.......
replaced the workout today with the weekday league game.
its the court where i took my vid. think previous best there was abit of palm. this court is higher than the other one, where i got my entire palm over... so translated over, that jump would probably be about somewhere on my palm.
but today... i got my entire palm over at the higher rim as well!
definitely a pr, not sure how much though. if that estimation by vag earlier, of 3 inches above equals to abt 35 inch... this should be about about a 39... but if thats pushing it, a 38 should be pretty safe.
my planting definitely needs some work. all the time, i was trying to be really forceful and aggresive in the plant, trying to put my strength to use. but the pr jump came when the jump was kinda relaxed, like the plant wasnt really aggressive, more like a smooth jump.
27 slrvj? up yo game!
A couple nights ago I had a dream where I was talking with Mark Sisson* on the beach. He was wearing board shorts. He kept saying the dumbest shit, just repeating his spiel over and over, and I was just cracking up, asking him if he knew how dumb he sounded and how little sense he was making. He had this kind of perplexed look on his face the whole time but he never stopped talking, even as I was doubled over laughing right in front of him. It got to the point where I couldn't even breathe in and then I woke up.
*This guy: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/
he works out 7 days a week for 30 minutes, and sometimes 10 minutes.
!!!
Nothing could be more paleo than that, bro. Mark Sisson is a prophet.
Good stuff! I guess the paused reps really strengthen the sticking point and thus can help to bust plateaus. Another option would be to begin and initiate the movement at the sticking point. For example if a trainee has problems with the parallel position in a squat he would set the pins low at that position, get under the bar and try to push up from that weak position. For squats this method might be better than the paused reps since breathing with a heavy load on the back is probably not the best thing to do.
But I can really imagine this method to be very effective for the bench press and press, especially in combination with what Lance said about using the rebound after the pause.
I've had lot of success with pin squats in terms of power for vert, they seemed to keep me feeling a bit healthier too, the nice momentary deload at the bottom feels good, and allows you to reposition yourself.
