Article & Video Discussion / Re: Really Good Video - Common Vertical Jump Training Errors
« on: May 03, 2012, 06:37:16 pm »
After talking with the video author on youtube i gotta say:
1) He is a very nice guy , not at all over his head , he knows his shit and he has impressive ups too!
2) I watched the video today , most of it is about strength training and not jumping technique. Nothing bad in what he says. Nothing ground breaking either, what he says is very well known and i don't think its useful for anyone who has read the very basics of jump training. But it's not another 'learn jump form secretz for explosive instant inchez gainz" vid like i thought. It will not do any harm to a noob that sees it and carries those rules to his training.
Gotta be fair...

Injuries/aches : quads feeling 'stiff' and tired.
Soreness : hamstrings and calves a bit sore.
FAILED explosive lower workout.
HANG POWER CLEANS:
3@88 lbs ( same )
3@99 lbs ( same )
3@110 lbs ( same )
3@121 lbs ( same )
3@132 lbs ( same )
-Stayed at same loads, working on technique.
-For some weird reason upper forearms were very sore, they ruined my pulls.
EXPLOSIVE PARALLEL BOX SQUATS :
3@198 lbs ( same )
3@209 lbs ( same )
3@220 lbs ( same )
3@231 lbs ( same )
3@242 lbs ( same )
3@231 lbs ( -33 lbs )
-Legs unrecovered. Quads really hurting at concentrics. Sucked it up and did well till 231.
-242 was slow ( much slower than last week's very fast 242 , even slower than last week's 3x264 PR ) so i backed off to 231 to keep it explosive.
STANDING CALVE RAISES:
3x8@209
-All good here , almost rolled on my left ankle at mid set but got away with it.
Legs need rest , 2 dunking and 3 lifting sessions in 1 week killed them. Next stop = Thursday or Friday.

LOL , thanks raptor , i appreciate it!
28 April 2012
Bodyweight@session : ~189 ( AM )
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none
DUNKS:
Went at the park , warmed up a bit and did ~20 dunk attempts.
Legs felt much stronger & explosive than 2 days ago but there was a missing link at the runups , felt like a power&coordination leak at planting/reversing.
Averaging those gave about the same result with last time : SVJ 9'8'' dunk , some of mt best dunks ever at 9'10''.
Tried 10' dunks too , close but not there. Felt more like a mental block , FML!
JUMP SNATCHES:
3@44
3@55 ( same )
3@66 ( same )
3@77 ( same )
3@88 ( same )
3@99 ( same )
-More technique fixes : Less lean , higher starting point , phase out arms, sync jump with shrug.
-Like the cleans , i felt movement was more smooth and rapid.
-Few more technique sessions before next film.
SQUATS:
5@176 lbs , full
5@198 lbs , parallel
5@220 lbs half
5@220 lbs half
5@220 lbs half
-All good till 198 and then quads gave up on me. They were hurting , all 220 sets and reps were a hint shy of failure.
-When i say half , i mean legit half , between parallel and my recorded on cam partials ROM, i will refer to the latter as quarters from now on.
STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x15@198 lbs ( same )
1x15@198 lbs ( same )
1x15@198 lbs ( same )
-Quads dead , it was hard and painful unracking the load on the calves machine ( 1/8 squat needed ).
-Calves good though, should be able to go for 15x209 soon.

26 April 2012
Went in the park to check my vert/dunks.
I went dunking like 1 time in 2012 so it went much better than i expected.
Rim jumps at 9'10'' gave 30-ish SVJ , 32-ish dropstep and 33,5-ish DLRVJ. Also RVJs were very good , mostly limited from court grip.
Landed some very hard dunks at 9'10'' , landed my hardest dropstep dunks ever at 9'10'', also landed my first ever SVJ dunk at 9'8''.
That's by far the best starting dunk session i ever had ,
