same everything, except Vera will rape Jon Jones... Vera is Jones's strongest opponent so far, and Vera has more experience, and the cardio since he could hang with randy couture and survived his wrestling.

ya?

Thats cool stuff. You're a real scientologist with all of this.
I remember watching a video analysis of Stefan Holm a while ago. It was super interesting, they went all super slow and showed his plant leg and the biomechanics of how he was able to jump so high. Like his tendon was 4x(?) stronger than the average humans, and it could withstand like a half ton of force before it would stretch, something like that. But yeah, it was shitty that I couldn't find it. Have you seen it before? They had one for Asafa Powell too, and he had a Psoas'(I think) that pretty much filled his abdomen it was so big.

ya i've got the links somewhere, i'll find them.. btw, i have some of those clips in my GALLERIES: High jumpers thread, in this subforum.

ill post a link in a bit to the holm/thomas vid.

Thats pretty cool stuff.
Makes sense. I like lifting weights. I remember taking a class in HS and it was about people's proportions, 2/3s of the body was to the hip, and 1/3 obviously was for the rest of the body(hip to top of the head). That was supposed to be the 'ideal' figure. Related to women's waist-to-hip ratio, if you know what that is.
But yeah, people with longer legs, IMO, usually have longer achilles as well(just from having longer legs), which afaik makes someone more predisposed to being a natural jumper.
When I look at the Sittting vs Standing measurements, all it is is biomechanics. Lower SHR = longer femurs, right?
So for me, when I squat, my butt doesn't have to deviate from the body's midline as much.
For the lower SHR guys as well. Most people train their strengths too. Human nature, do whats easier(relatively in this instance). Squatting wasn't for that 'type' but like you said they were more 'natural' jumpers.

ya definitely..

as for lower SHR equalling longer femurs, that could be the case, or actually longer tibia's (lower leg). Based on the 2nd chart listed here: http://www.adarq.org/forum/index.php?topic=547.msg3447#msg3447  400m runners has longer tibia's than sprinters & high jumpers had longer thigh lengths (femur). So ya, regardless, SHR is longer legs in general, could be due to femur or tibia.

I think the key beyond just longer legs, is "longer legs in relation to upper body (torso + head)". That is where we're going to see the longer tendons. SHR seems like it can be pretty valuable in this regard.

Those natural limb leverages definitely mold who we are, because as kids, we find certain activities more fun than others, which usually has something to do with our natural leverages & natural physiology. Their are of course outliers but, they are outliers nonetheless. If we took an accurate survey of all the vert-broz on the forums, or basketballers in general, im sure you'd rarely ever find people over 51.

A higher SHR might be better correlated with standing vert though, ie, i've seen a study with asians having on average higher standing verts than blacks and whites. These leverages would also lend themselves more to sports like olympic weightlifting and gymnastics, both of which the "chinese" do very well in.

peace man

why did these guys put the inno sport bounding example at 3:05 in there youtube vid?

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee0JW-lPIz4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee0JW-lPIz4</a>

it's a compilation of their nfl combine prep, but I don't get why they stuck that in there.. completely out of place and hilarious.

I dont want to flood this area with dunk vids , but those dunks are inhuman!

ya man

his freethrow line dunk variations are so a thing of beauty.. BTL, two hand, windmill.. it's ridiculous.

he is one of the most gifted athletes i've ever seen. I wish he would have just trained "slightly" and competed in the 2008 olympics in high jump/long jump. Bet he could have done something.

No trouble at all. I can fire my glutes very well. Arch or flat isn't difficult.


k cool..

our hypothesis is that a lower SHR (<51) increases the chances that deep squatting will be difficult & half squatting more effective...

another hypothesis was created: most people with SHR of 50-51 are obsessed with vert because, they are naturally able to jump at an "ok" level, but not near someone who would have an SHR of < 50

another hypothesis was then created: most people obsessed with running vert have an SHR of < 51, that you will not find many over 53 in the "vert addict game", because these people would be more obsessed with lifting in general.

or I could be completely talking out of my ass :)

but that data is pretty cool so far.

Workout today:

Cut down tree with chainsaw x2
Cut trees up into pieces x a lot

So much fun. Something wrong with my knee. It was worse this morning but it's still wigging out a little bit. I will not be doing any jumps or heavy lower body stuff for the next little while. And DEFINITELY no frisbee on Tuesday, unfortunately. But this thing just demands rest.

damn that sucks man, the knee issue. have you tried icing/foam rolling ITB/light stretching?

so far the tally is:
--------------------
50.75 (arowe)
51.3 (zgin)
50.7 (adarq)
50.75 (allstar)
50.5 (vag)
51.5 (tychver)
47.8 (rip)
47 (jumper5000)
49.4 (miles)
51.136 (Volleybel)
55.9 (mattyg55)
51.39 (nba8340)
49.5 (raptor)
52.1 (kingfish)






mattyg55, how is 'deep squatting' while maintaining neutral/arched spine, easy/difficult?

21595
hey guys, i got a blood test recently, most of the values are probably pretty normal, but i have  a decent amount not in the normal range.  I figured it would be pretty cool if i posted them up and we analysed them, that is if anybody knows how to read them and understand everything.  So, anybody know how??????

if so i'll post up the results

post em` anyway, we'll do our best.. will be interesting :F

bbiab UFC.

from raptor:

For me is 90/182 x 100 = 49.45

Squatting deep is irrelevant because there are too many other factors at stake for that.

rip:

47.8

Lower back rounds around parallel :/





jumper5000:


(35/74)=.47x100= 47

medium difficulty or med-hard.






miles:

SHR: 49.4
Squatting deep: Easy







volleybel:

SHR: 51.136
Squatting deep: good, easy. No lower back rounding, maybe overarching a bit with higher weights..

Was feeling sick yesterday, a bit today, then felt alot better by tonight.

Skipped skill stuff.

PLYO 4 rotations, after 3 progressive warmups of everything:

Double leg MR bounds:
- 5, 8, 8, 15

Single leg bounds:
- 5, 8, 8, 8

Stiff leg ankle hops:
- 5, 5, 5, 8


Then, PLYO: 2 rotations of:

ballistic neutral grip pullup:
- 3, 3, 3,3
- used SMALL drop, grab-to-immediate-pull

ballistic pushup:
- 3,3,3,3



~1.3 mile run:
- ~9 minutes
- legs were a bit fatigued, kinda shitty but whatever



peace
