Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: The PR's/PB's, videos, pictures, and daily achievements thread
« on: July 06, 2011, 05:29:53 pm »I bet hitting those pins really messed up your squats, you could do much better.
I agree. I tried using a box, but didnt get it working properly. Anyways it seemed to really hit my weak spot on the squat, so hopefully thats going to do me some good.

Crazy Weird Analysis & Stuff :) / Lifting vs. bw compared to lifting vs. BMI
« on: June 28, 2011, 03:13:12 am »
So as a heavy and decently tall guy with fairly long arms, I often get met by smaller guys who wants to compare lifting numbers, but always to bw because theyre of course small and light.
I always respond that its not really a fair comparison unless you start comparing ROM as well, to which they never respond.
I know this has been talked over a lot, but I got tired and started thinking whats an easy way to compare between different people. Lance linked me this at some point: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html
That site seems a good way to me.
Other than that Ive thought of comparing strength to BMI. BMI consider you height as well as you weight, and although it does not take into calculation the factor of long levers, it seems better to me than just comparing to weight. And even though it doesnt consider levers, taller persons tend to have longer legs, arms and torsos.
Just a thoughts on a day where I try to complete my last exam assignment before summer break.

Yeah nice post.
I use some neoprene sleeves to keep my knees warm as well. Really helps alot. I feel a big difference from when I wear them and not.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Vert Improvement = Clean/Snatch/Jerk Improvement
« on: June 17, 2011, 02:31:28 am »
Note that I am in no way saying you HAVE to do any olympic lifts to improve your jumping at all, they are merely a valuable tool in the tool box, but the POWER versions, especially when performed from the hang, are going to carryover very well to vertical jumping for most athletes. The big problem with hang cleans is athletes performing a hang "swing", in which they dont vertically accelerate jack shit, they bump the bar out with the hips just long enough to swing it out and around and duck the shoulders underneath. Said lifter will often rock back and forth, contract the traps PRIOR to the pull, and swing the bar up, with very little true vertical velocity on the bar. Most of the time, people who hang clean a lot more than they power clean fit this bill, and they wont see the performance transfer they are looking for. Its much harder to do this with the power snatch, due to the distance the bar has to travel overhead, but it can happen on occasion.
I just felt like you described me Lance. My hang is better than my lift from the floor and my snatch is no where near. I contract my traps before lifting as well.
Example:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvZ89_QzDzA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvZ89_QzDzA</a>
Do I need to change it to get a better performance transfer?
nope, i would change the contracting your traps first, but you are not doing what I was referring to AT ALL, you are jumping the weight vertically up to your shoulders, like it should be done.
Nice. Thanks man. Ill look into the not contracting the traps.
Sorry for the highjack Gary. Just needed to get that cleared up.

Dont know what you are trying to say with this. Care to explain?
Nothing. I thought it was a cool gif and I wanted to share it and this seemed like an active thread.
Ok. Is he picking his nose on camera?
No. He's confused by a call
Ahh ok. Cool.
BTW you should add progress pics to the video.
