He seems like a pretty cool dog. But he reminds me of HarveyM due to his name.

I was wondering if you do it on purpose. Some people have this idea of "not locking up at the top". I'm pretty much the other way around, I put emphasis on locking up since that's what really creates the maximum amount of muscle contraction and "finish", like in a jump. Plus the VMO seems to be better activated.

I'm guessing you're not pulling the entire leg, just the tibia (basically extending the leg from the knee like in a leg extension) otherwise you'd use your hip flexors, obviously.
So it's pretty much a band leg extension, right?

« on: February 10, 2013, 07:22:51 am »I also work with thera band - I pull my leg in opposite direction (if it's left leg I pull it to the right - it's like kicking the ball with straight or bent leg but I worked with straight leg - this is the best exercise in my opinion to built VMO muscle ) .
Do you have any videos of that? It's similar to a leg extension or what? Where is the band attached to your leg?
I hope getting my olympic lifting shoes and being able to squat ATG (I should be) will get those quads going by the way.

Post up what exercises you do for VMO strengthening.
If I could get my VMOs to your level I'd jump 40+ easily. Unfortunately for me, they haven't grown in what, 12 years of training non-stop?
I'm currently doing this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrUOEwTDbqA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrUOEwTDbqA</a>
and deep bulgarian split squats.
But you are the living proof that what you did works so ... that's my question.

You're intentionally not locking the knees up at the top?
