Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: THE DREAM JOURNAL
« on: June 07, 2013, 10:19:17 am »So the teather exists in real life?
Nope I've just been to this movie theater in my dreams. There are a few other venues that only exist in my dreams but I cannot think of them at the moment. I often find myself in my old home in the suburbs of philly before I moved to boston too in my dreams.dream:
our other brother, the middle one, has also had a kind of recurring dream recently in which our little brother is dead, although his are quite different and involve being at family gatherings where everyone is the same except little brother, who is some younger version of himself. for example, a few months ago he dreamt that we were all at my step-grandmother's house for christmas, which we are every year. the whole extended family is there except j, which has also become normal over the last 8 years or so. he's often unable to travel. L, my middle brother, is in the living room and the front door opens. 10-year-old j is standing there, not saying anything. (he's 22 in real life.) he's not dressed for the winter. L knows that this means j is dead. he lies down on the floor, on his back, and cries.
damn dude. well it's good you're paying attention i guess. it's always crazy when the dreams turn into real life and it's hard to say if it was really premonition or what.
Maybe something in the little brother's behavior makes both LBSS and his middle brother worry about him unconsciously, and these dreams are the expression of their worries.

Well yeah but it could also mean that in that harder position the low abs might not be able to hold you from collapsing backwards, for example. Or by elevating the heel you alter the recruitment and participation factors of different muscles.
And then it could be what you say, who knows?

I have two comments:
1) Your GHRs didn't look bad at all. I think you should focus more on starting from a posterior pelvic tilt and try to maintain those glutes firing, even if you don't do a good job at it initially
and
2) Focus on improving the bar speed on the paused squats rather than upping the weight and continuing to do them slowly. Think of the bar speed as your barometer of improvement. If you squat the same amount of weight but you do so in a faster manner then that is IMPROVEMENT, and it could be a MUCH better improvement in your particular situation that you're in now than if you were to just increase the bar weight and "get stronger" in that way.
In that regard, I would up the weight if all your say 5 reps were fast on the concentric (fast for the standards that you set) and also you felt like if you were to go all out you would've done 7 reps with that weight. If these two conditions are met then you up the weight.
At least this is my opinion.

I don't think it's really the ankles... for a pistol to be successful, and I know this because I can compare my left and right legs (I can deep pistol squat pretty easily with my left leg and I can barely get to parallel on my right), it's important to be able to "reach" the glutes and lower abs and to stabilize that pelvis.
On my right leg it's usually a lack of glute/posterior chain control/recruitment that I have that prevents me from getting all the way down, plus the lack of strength.

Do you have a GHR machine?
