nice
ya that's all i could find too: 'skelic index' = SHR
shit i need to do some measurements ill brb..
My SHR is 50,5%. Long legs...
Here comes the half-squat fiesta!
Sitting Height Ratio (SHR ).
Sitting Height = height from head to buttocks , sitting in a chair.
SHR = ( sitting height / standing height ) * 100.
From what i see in SHR the chart for adlults: 52 to 53 = average , anything under 50 = very long legs , anthing over 55 = very short legs.
Finaly , i found a kinda useful article about leg length evaluation:

Long story short:
There is not much global data about leg length ratios.
The only data available is about Sitting Height Ratio (SHR ).
Sitting Height = height from head to buttocks , sitting in a chair.
SHR = ( sitting height / standing height ) * 100.
From what i see in SHR the chart for adlults: 52 to 53 = average , anything under 50 = very long legs , anthing over 55 = very short legs.
Some people cant drink milk... or take whey protein ( mike?)
Did someone stop and think how shitty his training would be without milk and whey? nop! He just takes it for granted.
Human nature is greedy...
not sure what you meant here? But ya his training would be alot better if he didn't have those allergies & knee issues. However, I have been chronically "injured" my whole life, so those issues he has I would pretty much ignore. He's probably better off health-wise by not pushing through as intense as I would, but I know for myself, that the only way to success is to bulldozer over any obstacle I was facing. I mean, all of my biggest PR's in RVJ came after my debilitating hamstring tendon injury, which when reinjured, would sideline me for at least a month. That anger became some pretty intense fuel.

Thats what i meant.
That everyone should try to get advantage of his own personal pros , not look to what he doesnt have (such as , say, a natural 40'' RVJ ) , but what he does have and can get him where he wants ( such as work capacity , motivation , his own gym , easy access to roidz
Were getting too off-topic though...
i hate genetic freaks too.
Without the genetic freaks, you wouldn't have much to look up to. If all you saw were white people (or anyone) jumping 35 off a run, you'd be very close to maximum at this current point in time. You would be content. Instead, you're not content, you want 40+. So, thank the genetic freaks for motivating you.
peace
Agreed!!!
Genetic freaks = respect & admiration.
Also , something we seldom think is that we may appear genetic freaks ( or just a little gifted ) to other people too.
In things like motivation , dedication , staying healthy etc.

sry to ask again, i know i asked a few times about the shoes already, just still not sure about this what are track flats exactly? Are all track shoes called track flats. I found track shoes that are called ...waffles, but don't see any shoes that are called flats, so trying to figure out what exactly they go under. thanks man
what exactly are your goals now, trying to increase single leg jump as well as get conditioned like you used to be?
so his hips shouldn't be coming up higher when he brings them forward and up, about how high should they be going when trying to get to and maintain max speed, 90 degrees?
wow, i hope we can all have that problem with the glutesThat is a very interesting topic , great work again Andrew!
Ive been in this dilemma many times...
I feel much better and stable on the half squat , and i can add weights linearly there.
In deep squats i seem to struggle in the hole , and i cant add weight linearly, it takes about 3 sessions with the same weight until i feel i can really add.
But everyone insisted deep is better so i kept trying to improve deep.
Many times i ended up doing naturally what you mentioned above... going very deep in warmups and gradually decreasing depth as the bar got heavier.
Ya that's why eventually I started half-squatting after seeing eddie's gains, but making sure I hit the walking lunges/stepups very hard. I had to stop doing stepups because my glutes were getting too big, it would aggravate an issue I have in my sacral spine.
how do you feel about low vs. high step ups, like which do you like to use, and when, and why. i feel like the higher the box the more likely it will become more hip flexor/quad movement
greyhound looks a bit quad dominant...
