going from that high height of a depth jump height, do you feel you still gain alot from an explosive strength stanpoint even though it is more "reactive" since your rebounding onto a box?

well i've always preferred regular DJ's rather than DJ's onto boxes/over hurdles for exactly that reason you stated.. DJ's over hurdles/onto boxes are great for people with sprinting emphasis, but for vert enthusisitists (sp) they lack that complete triple extensions and highest touch stimulus... so I PREFER normal dj's for vert, of course there is nothing wrong with incorporating both methods but one should be incorporated alot more than the other based on your goal: sprinting or jumping... so ya I feel dj's onto boxes/over hurdles are less of an explosive strength adaptation and more of a stiffness/reactive adaptation.

one very nice aspect of dj's onto boxes/over hurdles though, is there decreased specificity to jumping.. for me, this is a good thing, because I burn out on jumping quick in my brain.. for example, if i go dunk monday, well it's pretty impossible for me to dunk tuesday, i might be fresh wednesday, but i'll definitely be fresh thursday.. so these forms of dj's are working other parts of those cortical areas in the brain responsible for jump programming, which should allow me to get in some extra work without burning out my "highest touch/highest head head + runup jumps"..

also, it minimizes the TWO impacts.. I was only getting one major impact landing (the drop from the box), then i'd land on the bench, so I cut my plyo-shock-impact in half ....

so ya i like what i did last night and will probably try and do it again tomorrow just to see what's up.. might start incorporating that alot more.. my shins/calfs/achilles/quads do feel pretty worked as i woke up this morning, but i feel very strong and have some stim from it.

peace man!

THE PLYO KING IS BACK!

6/20/2010

weight 156

father's day + rain ruined my workout, so i improvised..

workout:
- 10 yard sprints: 5 max effort, bunch of warmups
- some drop step jumps, like 3 x 5
- 30" table jumps: like 2x10
- 18" depth jump to 30" table jump: 1x10, 1x20
- 30" depth jump to 30" table jump: 1x5, 1x10, 1x10
- neutral grip pullups: power rack was wet so grip slipping, 12
- deep bar dips: 10
- pmghr's: best set so far, 1x6 or so
- pushups: 35

im actually pretty happy to have done the depth 'box' jumps.. minimized alot of impact (took out the second landing), which on the surface i'm dj'n on is pretty important..

the 30" dj's to 30" box were so reflexive and i was getting real good bounce..

left vmo + calfs/achilles are fatigued, good sign!

peace

heh! it is monday morning over here in singapore... am at work now, hitting the gym in abt 8 hours time :p

ah!








hey man, check out week 3 here... i've helped you with the weights.. i mean, if your back is bugging don't hit those weights, but if you feel good then those are the goals..

tell me if you think 127kg is too much on those msem squats.. you did it for your first session, we need to keep up a certain strength 'threshold' during this phase, we don't want to be going up and down too much IF we can hit the goal weight that session.. those 3 singles should be hard, but doable for 2 sets, so give me some feedback on that, because you did 120/127 first session, then on week 2 last session you did 120/125 etc..

for example, we want something like this, as an example:

week 1: day 1: msem 127 kg @ 2x3, day 3: msem 120 kg @ 2x3
week 3: day 1: msem 130 kg @ 2x3, day 3: msem 125 kg @ 2x3

every 2nd week its bumping up as we transition entirely into explosive phase.








ok so, we'll have a two week rotation so to get some extra volume in on the second week.. this is what I propose:

week 1: power emphasis
week 2: power + strength maintenance

week 3: power emphasis
week 4: power + strength maintenance

RON ARTEST REPRESENT!!!!   my aau coach coached him in hs when he was on his aau team

cool, he was prolly such a mean kid in AAU.

my coach said he had mental problems even back then. after they won a tourney, he took the trophy and smashed it against the wall. wtf.   our coach is embarassed that he coached ron artest. he doesnt tell anybody. i think he told me accidently.   hes proud of coaching smush parker though.

what happened to smush? smush was nice..

i dno i think that's kind of gay to be ashamed of coaching artest.. what's done is done, not his fault that he has mental issues.. plus he was balling on houston/indiana hardcore, and just may do so with the lakers eventually.. regardless, people deserve second chances and even third chances, i don't even fault him for what he did to that fan to be honest, those fans think they can throws cups of soda on ATHLETES or call them racist slurs, nah, you get your ass beat homie, that's why they are spectators and not athletes.. most of them were never dedicated athletes to begin with.

shit i was so disgusted when duncan got hurt in a playoff game years ago and the entire stadium was cheering.. i wouldn't wish injury on any athlete, regardless of whether they are a legitimate threat standing between me and my goal, gotta earn it.

stupid fans, so many are just a pile of shit.. these ufc fans are probably the worst though, booing fights in the first round, it's pathetic.. they boo great fights just because it isn't a slug fest, god forbid it's a technical fight.

peace

What are those?

Ankle is worse than I thought btw. Bit of swelling and still painful even 24+ hours later. I've been good about the treatment stuff, too. Shiiiiiiiit.

the speed line hops, side to side or forward to back.

damn man that sucks :/ keep icing :/
