By the way LBSS - did you do any cleans/snatches as of yet?

When I was doing my broad jumps/2-leg bounds as plyos (I have a ~10m area in the gym where I can do these) - I played around with doing snatches (or shall I call them "standing power hip thrusts" at that time) and I had a 90cm increase in my 3 2-leg bounds or something like that.

It really potentiated the posterior chain and I used that potentiation immediately in the jumps (so I was alternating snatches with 2-leg bounds or broad jumps).

You could also probably complex heavy very low volume half squats with depth jumps etc

I was being sarcastic, you know. You can play with that with very low weights and after years of squatting, when your movement efficiency is perfect. That's NOT your situation.

Wait... so you're trying to squat blindfolded near 1RM weights?

Sounds pretty smart and safe. Try on a bosu ball the next time, it gives an added balance bonus.

^ wow.

 

Yeah it truly is "amazing". We label a bunch of stuff as amazing but this one really is the definition of the word.

17 inches? 43 cm?

I'm at 42 cm so I guess I have pretty big calves since I probably also have a thinner bone structure than you.

Yup^^^

Andrew is aware of it though... to me it's pretty annoying because I always see the hole as highlighted with new posts in the side bar.

Why don't you try to go ATG?

I did really deep squats yesterday and I have VMO soreness for the first time ever in years.
