What are you using these for? I mean, it's not like your soleus needs that much of a load.

If you get a lot of back injuries like I do, yes.

That is correct. Also, to strengthen the abs. It's interesting, but as Toddday was alluding to some time ago, some APT is good, because when you run/jump, the squeeze you get from the glutes will actually put you into neutral pelvic tilt, which is optimal. If you were in neutral pelvic tilt from the get go, the glute squeeze would've put you into posterior pelvic tilt, which would be sub-optimal.

Usually, people with anterior pelvic tilt tend to jump well off one leg. However, APT also associates with low back pain, whereas posterior pelvic tilt associates with knee pain.

Check out 1:45
Marberry is 5'5 (if he really is) - that's 1.65 meters tall. Rim is at 3.05 - he needs to jump 1.40 m to be head to rim. That's 55.11 inches.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: long article on stretching
« on: May 20, 2016, 03:03:30 am »
This reminds me of people that want to demonstrate that they have hamstring flexibility and that they can touch the floor with their hands etc. When in reality, they don't bend at the hips from a point on, they just bend their back and continue on bending it, with the hips doing nothing. From the point on, the hamstrings are not influenced by what's going on, so it's not a display of hamstring flexibility, but of erector spinae flexibility.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Pre Game Warm Up
« on: May 20, 2016, 03:00:58 am »
To me, my best warm up was playing some aggressive defense. Sure, go through some dynamic warmup, if you do static stretches don't do them for longer than 20 seconds each, at best. In fact, I would static stretch only my hip flexor and maybe quads.
Then I would pick up a team mate and play some one on one for 2-3 minutes, playing aggressive defense on each other. That's been a great way to warm-up well for me.

It's hard for me to imagine breathing "deeply" through my mouth for a long time while running, I would probably get tired like crazy.

For a few reasons - it's hard to reverse the movement that quickly when you're heavier. The amount of tension you get in the connective tissues when doing that is too much and the CNS is more likely to shut you down.
Furthermore, heavier people have a tendency to be "strength dominant" - so they need more time on the ground to produce and apply that strength - a 1-2 plant where the first leg gets loaded more and the 2nd leg is more for "blocking"/changing directions from forward to upward is more suited for that purpose.
The "hop" plant is better for the more reactive, lighter individual that doesn't have these issues. He wants to take advantage of his "bounciness", aka his connective tissues' stored elastic energy. And that's done the best with a quicker amortization phase, which is what a hop plant allows to happen.

It looks so weird... won't your quad tire like crazy doing that? Won't you "not achieve" hip extension doing that? It's crazy how much endurance any guy has in his quads vs. me.
Whenever I bike, and I stay straight up on my feet, I lock my knees. It's so easy to stay like that. A friend of mine's always says that it annoys him to see me do that and that I should stay with my knees unlocked, having my quads do the work. But that's crazy talk, it's completely unnatural to me.

« on: May 19, 2016, 04:54:19 pm »i tried a semi JusFly approach where i 'hopped' into the plant. Boom. Instant inches even tho it felt weird as shit.
I experienced this a while ago too. i completely forgot about it for a couple years though. definitely looking forward to try it out again.
i wonder if it'll still benefit your jump verses your normal approach once you get your movement efficiency back
It probably works the lightest you are. The heavier you are, a 1-2 "step" plant works better, IMO.

I usually stretch the quads/hip flexors during the breaks between sets of other stuff, in the gym. Otherwise I wouldn't stretch. So I go to this incline bench press, and put my knee at the bottom of the chair, and the chair keeps my shin at a 45 degree angle. And there I can stretch my quads/hip flexors etc in all kinds of ways during the breaks between sets of other exercises. I do that every time I go to the gym.
