my meal today :D

Just got back from my brother's college graduation. He went to art school. Some craaaaazy kids up there. Instead of cap and gown, some guy my brother knows dressed up as a lucha libre wrestler. FUll on, serious costume, nothing half-assed about it. During the point when all the kids were getting their diplomas, instead of shaking the president's hand as he walked across the stage, this guy tackled him. Literally took the president down in front of hundreds of people.

what the fuck? that could should have been tarred and feathered.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: Interesting Glute article
« on: June 07, 2010, 02:16:01 am »
more and more it seems the vj is really a quad dominant movement and the energy being trasferred through the ankles and calves so they need to be strong, elastic, rigid or whatever the term is forgot the term, but yea seems like what kelly says about it is point on that it might be a quad dominant mvmt but if you only develop those quads your gonna end up getting some knee pain or something for the muscle imbalance and you need strong glutes if you want to stay healthy

there are too many quad haters in s&c :)

regardless of what you actually have to work, there's one thing that can be certain you need to improve:
- maximal strength in a "squat movement" (full, half, whatever)
- explosive strength in a "squat movement" (jump squat, dj's, rea, etc)
- improve maximal & explosive calf strength (dj, reactive, calf raise)

so, what actually muscle groups that is improving doesn't really matter, it just comes down to the movement.. but in each of those movements, hamstrings / glutes & quads will all be strengthened to produce force.. chances are, the quads and glutes will experience the most strength increases, even though one would experience pretty significant hamstring soreness while progressively overloading.

other things that can't be forgotten, just to make sure i don't leave it out in case anyone gets gung ho on only focusing on those 3 things:
- improving fitness
- jumping
- upper body strength/power (push/pull)
- sprinting

so ya, regardless of what is actually most important in terms of 'minutia', improving strength in certain movements is fundamental, regardless of advanced kinesiological/anatomical/physiological mental masturbation..

but ya, in terms of running or standing vert quads play the most important role.. even in sprinting they are so very important, to be able to land leg locked and absorb all that force to help transfer through to hip extension and plentar flexion is a very important role.. there's a reason people get 'quad dominant' -> they are just used immensely in every movement.. you can do all types of short accel & jumps and barely hit the glutes/hams, but you for sure will hit the quads/calfs HARDCORE.. extend those accels out to MAX-V (50m+ , 200m ,100m etc) then you get considerable hamstring/glute, but how many vert trainees are doing those kinds of sprints? not many... most are addicted to basketball and we know what kind of sprinting is involved in that, definitely not enough to maximally recruit the hamstrings/glutes.

Olympic Weightlifting / Re: Weightlifting pics
« on: June 07, 2010, 01:39:12 am »
can you go a little more into depth on those methods but also the main thing i'm asking is for those o-lifters how much other training and what other lifts do they do besides practicing the o-lifts

some rarely deviate from the competition lifts (regular and hang versions) & squats.. some incorporate bodybuilding style methods.. i mean it's really vast, there are so many different ideologies.. linear periodizations, frequency, etc.

the main lifts though for any o-lifter is:
- c&j/snatch
- power clean/power snatch
- clean pull/snatch pull (regular or high pull)
- back squat / front squat
- rdl / core

other camps will throw in any of these:
- reverse hyper/ghr
- military press seated/standing + pullups/chinups/bent row
- jump squats/plyos

a few camps will throw in:
- kb's / jump squats etc

peace man

Interesting Glute article on Tmuscle

http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/dispelling_the_glute_myth


If u dont have time to read below is the points that got my attention....

when i'm jumping powerfully, when i wake up in the morning (afternoon), i vigorously extend my knees, it's not something i can even really control, it's just a very powerful contraction of the quads.. i wonder if that happens to anyone here? if i don't sprint, then i rarely if ever feel my hamstrings during the day, but when i'm doing maxV sprints, i can feel them throughout the day, much more activated.

sprints definitely activate my glutes/hams more than anything.. i had cut them out for a few weeks and definitely saw the activation/tonus in them decrease.. doing them the last few days has brought it back.

Pics, Videos, & Links / Re: Squat and RDL form check
« on: June 06, 2010, 06:01:01 pm »
Made a new vid, on TVS they asked to make one with heels elevated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D26BhVPvLdk

The angle is very bad, but the batteries of my camera were low so I had to take the adapter and this was the only place I could put it... and I just squatted without bar so I don't know if you can compare it that well with yesterday's vid.. I'll make a better one tomorrow or so.

You can't see my feet but I mentioned it in the vid when my heels were elevated. I also tried to flex my ankles more (=> bringing knees more forward) and that alone was already an improvement, so it's not that I lack that much ankle mobility, it's just that I don't use it while squatting.. (Well I maybe need some more flexibility but it already got better when I just thought about flexing )
I also could tighten my glutes WAY better when flexing the ankles more. So maybe this was one of the bigger issues in my form.. I'll still keep on doing the hamstring stretching etc, I think that'd improve my form also.


instead of heel elevation i prefer oly weightlifting shoes, but the third set definitely looked nice as far as back rounding goes.. your form will get even better with some slight heel elevation, for sure.

wow! 1-step lead 32.5, possible 33 = no joke.

 :o

Thanks man , but watching the video i saw i took 2 steps , DUH!  :-\
1-step was 32'' , which is still very impressive for me.


ya i just watched and was like wtf? hehe

ya man still very good..

Fucking flying..

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:
