hey vag, whats your PR on DJ's at your current weight (+-2-3 lb)?

I havent done 27'' DJs in the past , so todays 25,5'' is PR

As for 18''DJs , PRs were allways ~1'' lower than SVJ PR.
So those are also at all time PR levels currently , SVJ ~28'' and 18''DJ ~27''.


nice man..

oooh... haha, mayb its just a placebo :p
so, is this current workout scheme ok, or is it still too much volume?
not too good at programming i must say ahha.

well the last few workouts you listed look fine in terms of volume, as they are work-up sets.. alot of it is 'warmup volume' (workup-volume).. it's your plyo workouts that had way too much volume.

why do the hang cleans at the end? do you still feel fresh by then?

i personally would do them before or immediately after the speed squats.

and a bunch of pullups throughout the day.

peace!

tried to get 2 last sets of 10, but also no more juice left.

barbell stepup

3 x 80
3 x 90

hanging leg raises

anybody here has experience with leucine?
cos normally during my workout, i take in a serving of xtend + glucose.
today i added in some leucine, and i was blasting thru all the sets, except for the last one for each exercise, after which i stopped and moved on.

cool.. nope no experience with leucine here, other than taking protein supps with it included.

Did you test your vert? Wonder what it is...

nope, probably < 20.

:)



That's wild. What was your peak standing vert?

ya it is...

peak SVJ was around ~30.. i have vid of me really getting up on an svj - which was 30 on a jump mat.. ive only hit 30 on a jump mat 2 times, during which my svj was always around 27 on vertec.. i just got so amped up to hit that 30, which is important, because i usually never get amped up on SVJ's, rather i always get amped up on RVJ's.. plus im SVJ'n near a stool which is 30", and with feet flat in the air im pretty much level with it.

lol @ this video, if you havn't seen it, it's a little whacky.. the story behind it is a bunch of people on TVS were telling everyone they needed to "relax more" during their jumps etc. so i wanted to show them how ridiculous they sounded.. bottom line is we all got very amped up, and my boi jamie and nick PR'd bigtime on their SVJ's.. I PR'd also - prior to getting that ridiculous i had only hit ~27.8 or so on the jump mat.

monster energy + lots of yelling + lots of cursing = PR ;)

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ-0RqzwBR8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ-0RqzwBR8</a>


so bottom line, jump mat PR is 30.0.. vertec PR is 28".

peace

ok so after my ~5 month experiment of doing absolutely no weight training, here's the results:

squat (around parallel close stance):
135 lb x 10 = 10 RM

ok yes i know thats weak, but here's the kicker:
- absolutely no lactic acid buildup in legs during the sets
- no real fatigue either, just couldn't lift the bar by the tenth rep

so basically i am completely slow twitch ;d

anyway, ill be lifting again now.. plan to mostly just do high rep stuff:
- pullups/pushups/high rep squat

etc


peace

Slept like a baby last night, woke up so refreshed this morning I could barely stop smiling. Falling asleep when you're tired and waking when you're done sleeping is one of the greatest things ever. Read the paper this morning, made a little breakfast, did an errand, then went to the gym for a nice easy workout.

Circuit x15mins (HR ~150, changed exercise each time through)
JR x30-60s
lower body mobility exercise
upper body mobility exercise

Jog @9:13 mile pace x20 mins (HR ~160, felt easy but a bit slow for my HR to be that high...need to get back to work on easy cardio)

Cool down

stretch (niiiice and long)
foam roll

Mood today:  ;D ;D ;D ;D

hah nice.. that's one of the best feeling's ever.

akdn.org - pretty cool man, looks like they are doing good things.

6 January 2010

Vertical jump testing

Jumping on concrete, 10 degrees Celsium , ~80% humidity.
Weight at session : ~189lbs
I was jumping for highest touch on a 9'10'' rim and also recording at 120fps to combine measurements.

Warmup : Dynamic warmup 5' + shooting around ~10' + few medium effort jumps

2x5 Standing Vertical Jumps : Average 27,5'' , maximum 28,5'' ( PR ! :D )
Those felt and looked awesome too...

3x4 Running Vertical Jumps :  Average 31,5'' , maximum ~32'' ( Equals PR , again that damn plateau , GRRRR   >:( )
Those looked great on video ( jumping mid-thigh high ) but felt like shit , still cant coordinate my running jump well.
Its all fine , those are great stats for the start of an explosive-oriented routine, also verifies it is what i need to do...



nice!!!!!$O!@$O!@)$!@$O!@)$(@!%(


btw, i never knew it could be 80% humidity with such cold weather.. that must be very weird.

what's your new job about?

im not a big fan of ohp's either. in my working with baseball players/other baseball coaches/trainers, hardly any of them would use any OHP movements. they'd do light overhead prehab-type movements, but never OHP.

not sure why, but probably due to the recent introduction of plyos and the weekly games, im experiencing some aching (tendonitis) in my left knee...

sure hope it clears up asap...


"Happy New Year everyone!

500m fast jog

5 x 50m dashes, 75-85% intensity

3 x 5 bounding

3 x 5 single leg depth jumps, off mid shin height

3 x 8 single leg rebounding box jumps, mid shin height

2 x 5 single leg depth jumps, height just below knee cap

2 x 5 depth jumps, height a few inches above knee cap

4 x 10 pullups

2 x 5 depth drops, done by jumping off a knee height bench
"

thats a ton of work.. if you're feeling tendonitis-like feelings in your knee then i'd cut alot of that out, especially the single leg dj's..

in the example original outline i pasted you, you'll notice it doesn't have a ton of plyo/reactive exercise volume.. instead, you pick a few and do them prior to lifting.. i'd reevaluate a bit, you don't want to develop any real tendonitis.. and since you're in season, sessions will have to be at least 3-4 days apart for the most part unfortunately.
