REA SQUATS :

-Going up was damn explosive , because of all the effort in the transition. So explosive that i could not decelerate at the top so i was jumping a few inches off the ground. Is that bad?



I have the same question, actually.

nope that's fine.. you could stay @ 40% or progress into a heavier percentage of 1RM (45, 50 ...) etc.. but coming up off the ground is fine, just make sure your back is feeling ok.

ya :) i usually don't eat a sandwhich when im drinking milk + eating bananas, thats what did it.. shortly after that EDIT i felt fine.

i think most bananas ive eaten in one sitting was 10-11, with a glass of milk.

milk & bananas ftw.

6/09/2010

was supposed to do some more jumping stuff but my left knee was pretty fatigued.. so i went and did a basketball workout..

workout #2:
- bball dribbling stuff
- 10 minutes hard of layups (filmed, will prolly upload tomorrow)
- jumps x 10 minutes, 3 sets, filmed last set but sprinklers came on and hard to save my camera's life with a massive sprint.. will probably upload tomorrow.. i want to see what my night footage looks like with the fluroescent filter.

- 15 chinups
- 25 pushups on handles
- 14 chinups (first 8 were with hips flexed, very hard, couldnt go down low like that though either, then the rest were normal)


i think im going to rest all day tomorrow, have to make sure my left knee doesn't act up.. then ill record sprints on friday, and jump saturday.

peace



edit:4:30am, just ate a huge sandwhich, 5 ~footlong bananas, 2 big glasses of milk, and 2 glasses of water.... i am about to puke my brains out.. which i can't do because that'd be like wasting alot of those nutrients.... hold it in cupcake.

ankle hops:

bench:

you were getting some nice bounce on those ankle hops, looked good! just always remember the cues before doing them:
- prior to landing, glutes and quads locked, toes up

eventually you can add some arm swing, but those ankle hops looked good.. make sure you're not leaning back when you get tired, happened on the 2nd half of the vid.

bench was great form.

peace man!

a still from tonight: as i slam it down my whole hand is in the rim, so that's legit wrist height.. plus my wrist hurts like a MFQR.



here's a link to a large version of pic abuv:

also, overthinking kills me in so many ways. the one day, whenever it was, that i got a couple of knuckles above the rim (~32" jump), i was just attacking for those couple of jumps. the rest sucked as usual.

that attacking mindset is what you need, it probably had you accelerating more into your plant too etc.

my ideas:
- less caffeine than the session above
- you really stepped up that volume on the sprints prior to the jumps
- normal, just a dip in the CNS


Yup , i was guessing the CNS dip but ure right.
- Much less coffee today , had 2 cups in the morning and 2 cups at 3pm. Jumps were at 9pm. On sunday i had 4 cups and a redbull 30' before jumping :D
-Sprints is true too , i forgot my watch so i didnt know how much i was pushing,  whenever i dont monitor i push more.

Nahhhhhhh , its the bad session before sunday's 34'' PR  ;D  ;D  ;D

combo of higher volume sprints + no caffeine = big drop.. when I was PR'n during my high freq squat experiment, i would ONLY caff up on sunday.. so if i was hitting some good 1-2 step lead in jumps on tuesday and thursday, i knew come sunday with huge doses of caffeine (coffee drink + monster) i'd be flying.. i'd get so amped that I'd have jitters and shit, basically what KB recommends pre-vert testing.

one thing caffeine also did for me, is give me a WORLD OF CONFIDENCE.. without it sometimes i'd get those crappy negative thoughts pre-jumping, that shit NEVER happens when im on tons of caffeine.. it's basically like an anti-depressant, you're so amped.

so ya, I like caff'n up 1 day a week and going for PR's, it sort of becomes like "the biggest hunt day of the week" aka king of the jungle style, can't help but be on point.

peace man

thanks again, that does help. the bit in there about side planting (vs. straight squat planting, like i do) is good to keep in mind, but i guess there's no real way to practice it other than to get more explosive/reactive and just do it.

yup.

it might help me to come in more from the side and then try to jump facing the backboard, now that i think about it. if that makes sense.

definitely, the angle you come in at will have a major effect on the plant.. if you do come in from the side a bit more, i would imagine you would learn to turn into your jumps (which would have you really decelerating well).. so just throw a few in each jump session from 2-3 step run ups and see how you feel.. you want to accelerate all the way into the plant though.. look at your vid, you are decelerating into the plant.

ya man that's killed me plenty of times.. it's hard to overcome when it's in your head, it can kill your entire jump session.. if i jump too frequently that stuff gets in my head.. i also jump with an ipod, it really helps.. when i was jumping very low a few months ago, like barely 10'2 touches etc, it was getting into my head, so to get it out i would focus mostly on practicing my jump shot/dribbling, then throwing in a few jumps every 5 minutes, it really helped..

letting doubt/negative thoughts creep in really is a killer, it can completely shut you down, i know 100% how you feel as it has happened to me alot, but you have to find some "workaround" in order to get those thoughts out of your head.. for me, that is:
- jumping less frequently (say every other day or every 4th day)
- doing alot more activity in between jumps, such as bball dribbling/shooting.. maybe for you it would be short sprints etc
- having alot of goals instead of just jumping, such as sprints/other movements, takes alot of the weight off of just improving vert

peace man

Thanks adarq, good advice as usual.

Couple ?s:

  • I get that plantar flexion is less than ideal w/r/t the plant, but what do you mean by "staying back a little more"?
  • Makes sense about the ankle hops. I'll lose the box. Do you have a preference/recommendation for true stiff-leg hops vs. pogos or even tuck jumps?

as far as staying back, check this thread: http://www.adarq.org/forum/crazy-weird-analysis-stuff-%29/various-jumpers-plants/msg6784/#new

maybe it's just the angle of your jump but to me it seems like you're landing basically completely centered over your feet, like say how you would on a depth jump.. that's cool and all but if you were to stay back a bit, which would be an indication of more run up speed (since you're breaking yourself hardcore), you'd load up the quads alot more.

i mean that's just what it looks like to me.. it's hard for me to even screenshot the plant from that camera angle though.



basically, you're trying to squat the jump up it seems to me.. which is ok but you are not taking advantage of that forceful deceleration of the run up, which should give you a few more inches..



stiff leg ankle hops are my favorite of the three, for sure.. pogos & tuck jumps are on the same level for me, they both serve different purposes..

stiff leg ankle hops, depending on the intensity, can be done for:
- high intensity: sets of 5-8
- moderate intensity: sets of ~15-20
- low intensity: sets of ~20+

high intensity would be MAX effort while still staying completely stiff.. these are definitely hardcore.. low intensity would be just staying completely stiff and popping off the toes nice and smooth.



as far as pogos/tuck jumps, same kind of recommendations honestly.. pogos would be more of a jumping assistance while tuck jumps would be more of a sprinting assistance (hip flexor power).. i like both of those though too, in fact when i do like 40 MR tuck jumps in a row i am gasses as hell, tough exercise.

hope that helps! if you need more info be sure to ask!

peace

Sprints were nice , felt smooth and had good breaths.
Jumping sucked ass big time. Felt way too stiff , couldnt transfer any power , explosiveness = bellow zero.


wtf?
