ya 18lb each hand is a little 'weak' compared to your squat.. 0.5 x BW (total of db's in each hand, 45 lb each hand in your case) would be average/normal.. 1xBW (total db's each hand, 95 lb. in each hand) would be very good.. anything above that is getting freaky strong.

dont go rush out and go nuts because of my comment keep your form good etc, but i guess just set your goals higher on bss.

nah , i dont add plates if i cant support them with proper form execution.
Not anymore anyway , you bet i did it 10 years ago, LOL!
i took a look at my logs, i see that the best dumbells BSS ive ever done was 2x10 holding 52lbs( 2x27 ).
even more ineresting , 9 days after that PR i did BSS at the smith machine and i did 3x8@105lbs.
wtf , thats double load!!!
gotta look those dumbell BSS's closer , thanks for the tips Andrew.

np man, you definitely got it in you to bump that bss back up.

real nice, why not push it a bit more on the BSS?

'18 lb' ? or is that a typo?

peace man good work

liked it alexv.. very technical.. i mean, im not going to implement them but very detailed..

i would think you would see differences between 1 x 5 minute, and 5 x 1 minute holds though.. weird..

thank for the reply adarqui and vag. yes i believe shoe could give me extra, wooden floor don't think i have chance to test.
adarqui, drop step vertical = 2 leg jump? drop a first step and jump with 2 leg is that what u mean?

i cheat in the video haha, vertical jump should be standing still and jump, not the extra forces with movement.


went to gym just now posting my training routine soon. <-- hope u guy can give me ideal and way of improve haha thank a lot.

well the definition of drop step could be debated, haha.. but its basically just stepping into a jump from a stand still..

ya you're not doing a standing vertical jump, you're doing a running vertical jump, from a short runup.

when you post your routine you'll get more feedback.. sounds like you are on the right track from your initial post.

peace

sup man!

definitely looks around 30".. good work.

good job staying away from the 'plyos'.. you can always add plyo-drills in, but don't make them the emphasis.. for the most part they are just supplementary.. to make them the emphasis requires very intense protocols, but they do work.

peace man & welcome.
