Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: FFFFFFFFFFFFFF... knee has meniscus problems

Not if you have a meniscal tear. If it's very minor, there's a chance that by rest and intaking the right amount of vitamins, you could fix it up, but usually meniscus issues are permanent.

27in SVJ (standing reach change from 255 to 251 though also). Still a PR regardless.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Kadour Ziani's Legs
« on: April 10, 2012, 01:27:34 am »Strength training has NOT been shown over and over again to increase vertical jump.
It's when you write things like this at the BEGINNING of your post that I decide to just ignore whatever you have to say man.
Many people on this board, including me, are a living testament to how strength training increases vertical jump. When I was 155lbs in high school I couldn't touch rim. Some years later and I threw down a two handed dunk at 210lbs bodyweight my friend.
Don't tell me it was the tendons.
He said that it isn't the ONLY way in which people get up. Stop assuming that because it works for you everyone else has to train that way to be successful. In Ziani's case, his force exertion isn't based upon strength.

you idiots use the word strength too much.
Listen up saggy tits, you and harvey are the only idiots in this thread. No one has made fun of your shitty "sprint" videos, and
people leave your ugly ass alone when you make retarded as fuck exercise videos. Stop calling people idiots and go do some
depth drops from 8 feet or running deadlifts with 135 and round spine.
I've yet to see you do anything but talk shit...

I've been involved in the same program for two years now doing similar things and last year improved my PR 12cm. I'm going to need a little more this year. While I respect and appreciate everything you've said, I'm set on going hard - at least for a couple of months to see if I'm improving, otherwise I'll scale it back while I'm shitting my pants.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Seated Calf Raise or Standing Calf Raise
« on: April 07, 2012, 07:35:07 am »Seated calf raises = soleus being the protagonist of the movement.
Standing calf raises = the calf (gastrocnemius) being the protagonist of the movement. The gastroc is not really active when the knee is bent.
Do you know of any correlation between seated/standing and high/long calves?
