Article & Video Discussion / Re: post activation potentiation
« on: April 28, 2010, 09:43:26 pm »ya, the results of stim are highly dependent on work capacity/experience. Most people would experience a ton of fatigue from the 5RM squats, so i wouldn't expect there to be any large scale increase among a training group.
For average athletes, they are going to have to struggle off the bat, with squat stim. That's why I liked the IES stuff.
I personally never liked squat-stim, my knees would ache during the post-stim exercise, such as jumps etc. I had some real good jumping sessions when I did heavy squat singles in the morning and jumps at night, but my knees would ache pretty bad.. knees and shins actually.
For the most part, I like approaching stim from that delayed method, ie a workout on monday positively effective what you do on tuesday or wednesday, I think that is by far the most effective way to use those methods. Plus, most athletes, regardless of experience/work capacity, will see results from that. All that needs to be tweaked is what you do on the stim day (exercise intensity/rest intervals etc). Usually the stim sessions are VERY short and to the point, such as just working up to a heavy single, hitting a set on reverse hyper, and getting out of the gym.
pc!
What about ISO XTREME Stim. My favorite is the ISO XTREME coupled with the car escape route VJ from Level-7 You do those 2 and your vert will immediately increase 37.879%
I also like the XTREME Stim with the dog chase. [racial joke]Works great for increasing speed of the white kids on the team. The black kids seem to stay in a parasympathetic state when being chased by the pit bull... Not sure why [/racial joke]
lol ^
iso extremes provide the most stim because they are MAXIMAL ECCENTRICS AT EXTREMELY SLOW VELOCITIES. there's nothing more maximal than pulling yourself into position for 5 minutes. extreme.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: The LEVEL-7 ideas thread
« on: April 28, 2010, 03:18:49 pm »I was almost hit by a car today and that made me think of an idea for vert.
Say your athlete has plateaued at a certain box jump/barrier jump height.
Have a car a couple inches higher drive at your athlete whose escape to the side is blocked.... plateau broken
i am jealous that i did not think of this.. good work!

well, for now i would do something more along the lines of what you were originally planning (with the modifications), with basketball/jumping on mon/fri.. i personally wouldn't do pure plyo days right now, work on building strength, as much as possible for the next month at least.

Track & Field / A few form running drills (ankle rolls + high knee/butt kick variations of them)
« on: April 27, 2010, 09:14:33 pm »i'm not a big fan of most form-running drills, but this video had me cracking up.. I'm sure these drills can be effective, for sure, but my somewhat juvenile humor had me cracking up in this vid.
SiHunt has alot of great videos btw.

Crazy Weird Analysis & Stuff :) / Re: Various Jumpers: Plants
« on: April 27, 2010, 07:33:51 pm »Gotta find some pics of myself for comparison: the first thing I notice is how low most of them are. I don't think I get low enough to get real power. Too worried about getting off the ground fast. But if I try to get lower, I overthink it.
ya i buckle if i try and get lower, just not strong enough dynamically in those positions. I think for myself though, quarter-squat style depth is my preferred depth in RVJ's.. On svj's, I get like 1/8th squat depth it's ridiculous.
The one thing I know is, my plant is alot better when im mixing in plyometric/explosive exercises while squatting. If i focus purely on squatting+jumping, I go into that square bilateral heavily-strength trained plant. When I start really getting back into explosive training, depth jumps, REA squatting, double leg bounds, I then start coming back in from that side plant, looks pretty similar to golden child.
In this vid, I had been doing LOTS of rea/reactive work prior to this session. I remember just feeling ridiculous on my plants:
The first dunk miss illustrates it perfectly.. That is basically my optimal form for RVJ'n, nice angle to look at it.. I have other vids where heels are crashing, coming in too square (no rotation coming in from the side) etc, those jumps look way worse. I started noticing that during my "only squat + jump" 1-2 months of training..
