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

'18 lb' ? or is that a typo?

peace man good work

nah , not typo
the typo is "barbels", i meant dumbels.
i cant get BSS right with a bar in my back , i keep much better form with dumbells in my hands.
so i do BSS with my BW ( ~185-190 currently ) + 2*18 lbs , and they are allready very challenging! :-\
is that to weak? like what percentage of his 1RM squat shoud the average bro be able to BSS 8 times each leg?


oh ok..

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.

peace man

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

definitely looks around 30".. good work.


and he jumped that being barefoot, having space constraints and on a very hard floor , WTF? :D
id say space + wooden floor + shoes = +4'' minimum!

yup..

i jump worse off wooden floor though, he might be the same.. but shoes + space should give him extra.. hes basically doing drop step verts.

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.

9/28/2009

162 lb.

wanted to record some shadow boxing.. i did.. sucked tho man only had a smoothie, thought i'd be fine, but my work rate was sucking.. felt some fatigue.. so im uploading rounds 4/5 i did back to back rounds 1/2, 3, then 4/5, and 6.. recorded 4/5, someone told me to record later rounds.

so when thats done ill upload/link.

shadow boxing:
- 6 rounds
- speed felt fine at first but was fatiguing more than usual

half squat, close stance:
- 135 x 30, 30, 50
- took everything.. legs were shaking crazy on each set.. 50 was brutal, i was tired around 15, arms were so numb by the end.. i let go of the bar and couldnt move my arms for ten seconds, just completely numb/buzzing.

peace





edit: I FELL ASLEEP ON THE TOILET AFTER SQUATTING... crazy... i was dying.

Andrew. Check your damn email. I mailed you a few days ago and you haven't gotten back to me. I've got something fairly important I need to talk to you about now.

Email me if you get this.

nice.. hadn't checked it in a bit.
