diet = protein shake + 2 tspn instant coffee, dunks/jumps + protein shake, protein shake, cheeseburger + kidney beans, squatting + protein shake, protein shake, ramen + turkey & cheese sandwhich

Damn... 5 protein shakes a day wtf!! Get some normal food in weirdo!  :P

Nice job on those squats though... 10x10 after ramping up to heavy sets of 5 is just flat out crazy! Wouldn't have the balls to do that.. I would pussy out in set 5 or 6! :D  305x5@154lbs is some nasty relative strength!

Now you just need to get these feet/ankles recovered and you'll drop some insane jumping/dunking footage!!

Nah powerlifting is nothing for me... :) I play volleyball and want to do so in the future thus I need to improve my jumping levels a lot (24-25'' SVJ/~28'' RVJ right now) ... but had a pretty severe ankle sprain 4 weeks ago and am still somewhat recovering from it. In addition to this I had some troublesome knee issues for the last 2 years which kept me away of doing much/heavy lowerbody lifting and vert training (sometimes I had to rest completely) It's better now though and I'll gonna bust my ass in the future to achieve my goals. I assume you'll do the same so.... keep impressing me! ^^

Very nice work... 705lbs just looked so damn easy. BEAST MODE right there man! Too bad you didn't get the 749lbs one but it was pretty close. You'll get it next time for sure! Do you intend to do another powerlifting meet in the near future?

Besides that... your squats and jumps are very impressive. Keep going!

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: THE DREAM JOURNAL

Had a very weird dream about you adarqui yesterday (no homo) haha. You get a phone call of jose mourinho, the coach of the soccer team real madrid. He sais that he heard a lot of good things of you and saw all your videos on youtube and read your forum etc. and that he wants that YOU get the athletic ability of his soccer players to the next levels that they can dominate their opponents even more in the second half of the season. So you think hell yeah this will be great. So you set them up on one of your routines. Lots of sprinting stuff and also quite a bit of strength work... Everything works great and the players make good improvements but then one of his many star players, cristiano ronaldo, gets injured in one of your training sessions. Jose mourinho is obviously pissed and fires you right away. You get into a bad argument with jose mourinho and eventually you beat the fuck out of him. At the end he lies unconscious and with his face all wrecked up on the ground... After that there is a cut and you decide to climb the mount everest in t shirt, basketball shorts and high socks and no material for climbing. Then I woke up... don't know if you would have made it.. I guess rather not! haha

I mean wtf?!?!?

Nice dribbling video, I thought the music and the drippling actually match pretty damn good already... I just can dream of this kind of basketball ability always hated to play it :) the jump at the pizza stop was looking high and kinda funny too... way to go, love watching your vids as always! Keep working mang!  :headbang:

@ raptor: No unfortunately it isn't... :P He's a big role model to me though... I mean one day I definitely surpass his jumping levels and volleyball skills ez but right now he's jumping quite a bit higher, spiking quite a bit harder! (I'm not being serious  here obviously) ;)

@ yeah my knee issues are a pain in the ass but I still want to make the best out of my situation and it seems like I found away. Just gotta stay away of going crazy with volume/intensity. Increasing workload and intensity slowly.

What I'm doing for reactivity at the moment are some RFI line hops (lateral/linear), some pogo hops and I'm slowly incorporating some submax approach jumps and probably some tuck jumps back in... as I stated above, volume is pretty low to begin with on these exercises (approach jumps/tuck jumps)

For example today before my strength work I did:

RFI lateral sl line hops 3x10s ---> I'm pretty fast on these
MR pogo hops, submax 3x5
A few dropstep jumps (@~80-90%), 3 sets of 2  

Over time I'll add more volume and go a bit harder maybe add some more intense work when I feel that I'm ready. On the 2nd workout of the week I will do tuck jumps instead of the approach jumps or in addition to them. I really try to stick the landings properly on the jumps because I feel like I'm lagging behind in this realm. (it might have to do with my knee issues)

Hey, just came across this site a few days ago and I really like the atmosphere around here. Everybody seems to be very dedicated and friendly so I figured I might just register and benefit from all the knowledge that is accumulated on this site.
About me, my name is leonel and I'm a 18 years old 6'0''/190lbs volleyball player who wants to get his vertical up, get more explosive/agile all over and increase overall body strength. Short become the best athlete I can be! Looking better is definitely also a important factor to me. For those interested in volleyball, I'm a setter by the way.

Bad thing is that I have been dealing with knee issues for the last 2 1/2 years and am still not fully over it. But I somewhat found a way to work around it and managed to make some improvements over the last months anyways.

Might start up a journal soon even if I am currently inseason and can't do crazy volume, intense workouts at the moment. Partially to save my knees but also to stay as fresh as possible. Still trying to gradually improve my strength and get used to some low level "plyos" again. So I use the season for GPP.

Talking about my current athletic ability, I have to say that my vertical is pretty weak (24'' standing 27,5'' running) but this is about to change as I just recently started to train my lowerbody again. My upperbody is pretty strong though. Examples: Militarypress 180lbs x 1, Chinups BW + 45lbs x 5... Anyways my goal is obviously to surpass all thess numbers and I think a forum like this really helps with the motivation, guidance along the way, so here I am: READY TO WORK!

Peace!
