Mixed Martial Arts / Re: UFC Tomorrow Night on Versus
« on: March 21, 2010, 04:55:40 am »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.
only person getting raped is you, after this UFC.
jones by 720 spinning elbow.

from allstarNZ on TVS:
SHR: 50.7 (36/71)*100
Squatting deep: Easy, some minor lower back rounding when VERY deep.
(expletive), EXACTLY the same SHR as you adarqui haha.

PLEASE PARTICIPATE, POST YOUR SHR : Here
I got:
SHR = (sitting height / standing height) * 100 = (37 / 73) * 100 = 50.7

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!
where did you get the "anything under 50 = very long legs"? can't find it. Or is that data from some other reference?

HOW TO MEASURE SEATED HEIGHT: 90 Degree hip angle
JUST FOR REFERENCE:
Quote
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.

« on: March 20, 2010, 08:32:07 pm »Finaly , i found a kinda useful article about leg length evaluation:
http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/7/3/1047/pdf
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...
lol ya..
what's funny is, my "good endurance / work ethic" helped me build a good work capacity. This ability to train hard & often, allowed me to do 3 blocks of high frequency training very effectively.
- First time I did it: 2 week squat routine, front/back squatting 4x/week, PR'd RVJ after two weeks
- High frequency squat experiment: 1 month, PR'd DJ's, RVJ, and 1-2 step lead in RVJ's
- High frequency block: ~2 months, my last PR's on RVJ, no vertec access so I couldn't get exact data
- CURRENTLY: experimental high frequency system, ~1 week, so far so good

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.
Who got me into jumping? Was it watching sub par athletes jump?
No, it was t-dub & frank yang.
Quote
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.
Ya. Steve Nash is one of the best examples here. His lack of power is made up for by his work ethic. He does have "freak abilities" in other departments, such as hand eye coordination and very fast decision making.
I don't have any power genetically, instead I make up for it by having naturally good endurance, work ethic, consistency, hand eye coordination, good hand speed, and a combo of abstract/logical thinking. Also, my self-taught computer science background integrates highly with my s&c background.
Sometimes as athletes, we want to be something we aren't "meant to be". That's fine though, but it requires alot of work to overcome it. Everybody's body/physiology lends itself better to a certain type of performance, whether it is boxing, sprinting, high jumping, long distance, middle distance, archery, etc. Becoming something you're "not" takes alot of work, but it's possible to completely defy our genetics.

« on: March 20, 2010, 02:05:44 pm »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
waffles are flats. waffles are track shoes without spikes.
Quote
what exactly are your goals now, trying to increase single leg jump as well as get conditioned like you used to be?
Ya basically.
To get in insane condition, while improving my jump again (double and single leg), broad jump, sprinting ability, etc.
To become a much better all around athlete, rather than just focusing on running vert.
I have to do all that without reinjuring my hamstring tendon, which is always on the verge of popping. I also have to do that while working through my sacral spine issue, which is aggravated with lots of glute work (ie sprinting/lifting). This issue (& a low back injury issue) is why I had to come up with alternative methods for getting my RVJ up, without huge increases in squat strength. Without these "issues", I might have never entered the world of frequency

ya that shit bugged me so bad. I can't stand all these "FastFoodAthletes". First of all, the kid claims he's been training 2 years, yet he's 15. He hasn't been "training for 2 years", he's been preparing. He's young and doesn't know anything, so even if he was "training", it's not really training, it's just working out, because he can't really understand the training process.
Unfortunately (or fortunately?), people with that mindset usually go nowhere. Always looking to the genetically gifted and whining about "why me".
You have to LIVE the training process. You have to LEARN your body. You don't just walk into a weight room, lift a few weights, and expect to transform yourself into an elite athlete.
For someone to become elite, from "weak genetics", is an insanely tough process, but it can be done. The process is organic, it relies on feedback & adjustment. It can't be store bought.
peace man :F
