Interesting. That would be the exact opposite of what the KB swing is "made for".

Get real strong 2x bw. The last thing you want to do right now is getting caught into the gimmickering and losing valuable time chasing ghosts.

Trust me... there's no comparison between a kettlebell and a plate swing... such a big difference and so MUCH (feels like triple or so with the same weight) more eccentric loading on the kettlebell variation.

Do you plan on doing "weird shit" like LDISOS of say long stance BSSs? (basically glute activation stuff)

By the way - take it easy on those depth drops/depth jumps before squatting. You don't want high volumes of them, especially high depth drops which have an inhibatory effect on the CNS after you do them.
Basically if you go with something like 3x5 low to medium box depth jumps you should be fine before squatting.
I personally go with 2-3x5 low box depth jumps (usually for short ground contacts) and then do something like 2x5 jump squats with a reset in between each rep (so no rhythmical), and then go on with my squat routine.

I take ZMA before sleeping and yeah, it seems it does a thing or two. You will dream and you will remember all your dreams as well.

MELATONIN BEFORE TRAINING?
What, you plan to sleep when you train, or you train when you sleep?

and these
http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:167265/sku:45652/adidas-powerlift-trainer-mens/light-green/light-green/?cm=searchmenstrainingshoes
Obviously a huge price difference. Any experience with any of them/comments?

Shoving hips forward? Not up?!

Cool^^^
IMO it shouldn't take long to get where you want to get considering that you don't need to jump that high to dunk and being tall with long levers tends to amplify whatever strength you have.

Haha good stuff, I get the same thing when I really push through my chinups and pullups - I might get an extra rep at the price of losing 3 or 4 in the next set so... I kinda stop when the speed drops quite a bit.
I mean last time (a few days ago) I got 10-6-4 totaling 20 reps... after I finished my 10 rep set I was like "Getting over 20 reps? haha, it's going to be easy".

« on: September 21, 2012, 01:23:47 pm »i want to see scooby, hyperdunk and seifullaaaaaaah in a gym together for a group workout. who will make the first move toward following advice given to them on here and DOING AN ACTUAL EXERCISE?
i'll be taking bets.
seifullaah at 2:1
hyperdunk at 7:2
scooby at 12:1
tell me what advice should i take. steven-miller tells me one thing, lancests tells me something else, raptor vag acole tells me something else. and none of these ppl know the exact condition of my knee. so i decided that wide stance full squats are the best b/c it doesn't hurt my knee at all.
Follow HarveyM and get surgery.
