- squat 335 x 1; 345 x 1; 275 x 4,4
holy crap. i had 355 for sure, which would have been a PR tie. 345 went up fast. decided not to push it, though. no point in grinding. warmed up with HB until 135.

Just a few sessions of high-bar squatting and your already PRing in the low-bar.  Carryover!

That's what I said to him too. It appears LBSS has very strong hips but is lacking in quad and calf strength/efficiency/power. If he gets that up then... you know...

squatted 345 with absolutely no psyche up and it was solid. not an absolute PR but for non-stim'd state that's a PR for sure. 1.95x bw with no stim. sweet.

I wonder if doing those high bar squats lately potentiated your quads or something.

I guess starting with basic stuff like line drills and rudimentary hops is a good way to go. It will teach you to stay on the balls of the feet and be reactive, as in depend more on the relaxed way of jumping instead of muscling your way up. The emphasis should be on relaxation and speed, not height.

I dreamed that I had this green spider with a big, venom-filled butt. And whenever I tried to kill him he would grow even bigger. I tried to squeeze his head with a fork and his butt grew bigger. I tried to squeeze his butt and his head grew bigger. And then I realized the spider was Satan himself and was invincible. Then I decided to squeeze on his head some more and his butt popped and he died.

The end.

As far as I know, TVS isn't working for more than half a year... what are you talking about?

For me the bluehost appears with ads and all that. No forum whatsoever.

Since when does that apply?

Sounds like the "penalty box" in Star Trek TNG.

LBSS should try harder to do some high bar squats. I did them today ATG (OL shoes definitely helped) and they felt amazing. Such a different leg sensation than the low bar squat, even doing them with a weight like 80 kg like I did today.

I have osgood since 6 or so... it definitely destroyed my chances of being a 2-leg jumper. My right VMO (where I have the condition) is pretty much non existant. No wonder I have all sorts of knee issues.

I think I'm going to switch to high bar squatting for a while and start low. See where that gets me. I hope it will help force some hip flexbility improvements as well as developing the quads better.

I will do this if my knee agrees though.

It depends what your aim is... if you want hypertrophy, less rest is better in order to waste the glycogen reserves and force your body to deposit more (thus increasing you "muscle" size).
