Peer Reviewed Studies Discussion / Re: Static stretch training and muscle strength
« on: April 12, 2012, 06:37:53 pm »
What we see in this table is the results of the resistance training group compared to the inactive group. The static stretching group results are missing.

This study was not about proving the strength benefits of static stretching, but about proving the flexibility benefits of resistance training , it can't say it more clear:

Quote
The purpose of this study was to determine how full-range resistance training (RT) affected flexibility and strength compared to static stretching (SS) of the same muscle-joint complexes in untrained adults.

The results of this preliminary study suggest that carefully constructed full-range RT regimens can improve flexibility as well as the typical SS regimens employed in conditioning programs.

Over and out.

11 April 2012

Bball practice.
Potentiation didn't work , legs were unrecovered, tired and stiff , also was sore in quads, glutes and calves.  :uhhhfacepalm:
Didn't jump much as i felt totally unexplosive, a few warmup 1-step DLRVJs were in the 10'6'' area ( 31-ish ).

I wonder if you get any potentiation tomorrow

Yeah , me too, tomorrow its a training day at the wooden court so a perfect change to get some more quality ME jumps than usual. Kellyb suggests an AM-PM style for buffered singles clusters, squat AM , jump PM. Not sure if my recovery ability is up for that though so i will try to experiment with recovery times to AREG/optimize it.

JDUB only exist because I exists. My posts give life to him. Otherwise, he is a useless grub you're right D4. I'm so powerful that I'm able to control people like this.

But not powerful enough to use verbs correctly.

Overall looking at the split times he was able to accelerate in upright position as he was able to achieve 80m in less than 8 s but 60m over 6s.


Not necessarily.

His 40-60 time is 1,67, while his 60-80 is indeed faster ( 1,61 ), but that says nothing about acceleration.

Example:
Athlete covers 20 m accelerating from speed A m/sec to 2*A m/sec
Then he covers the next 20m decelerating from speed 2*A to 1.5*A.
Although during the second split the athlete lost 25% of his speed , he still covered them faster than the first 20m.

Physics is a bitch bro ;)

* did some SVJ 2-hand dunks afterwards without breaking a sweat. if i do another 6-8 week cycle of supra max half, i might be doing lower 3/4 forearm 2-hand dunks. i'm at mid forearms right now at best.  

Some calculations:
Mid forearm would be 5 to 6 inches below wrist for me , which is 13 to 14 inches below fingertip.
That would mean highest touch is 133 to 134 inches.
Also your single hand reach is 92'' so i am guessing your double hand reach is about 90''.

That is 43 to 44 inches SVJ without even full armswing ( since you are holding the basketball ), not so bad...

What i log as full squat is a depth between parallel and ATG. I don't think i can go lower with my ~shoulder width stance.
I think my full squat is limited from lack of strength at the hole, as i perform my full squats easy and with perfect form with lighter loads.
Generally , i think my built ( long legs ,short torso ) does not favor full squats, sth also shown from the huge strength gap with my half squats. Yet i am still willing to push as much as i can to improve that pussy-level full squat strength of mine. I will keep pushing full squats and favoring them over halfs till the end of this training season ( summer vacations at August ), then re-evaluate.

^Yes , and i misspelled "hi", "guys", "sectets", "inches" etc. I know the difference , it was part of the same exaggeration,  regarding the thin-vs-jumping-high issue.

I reckon that anorexia is a deadly desease though and should not be used in jokes, my bad!
