ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: What kind of lunges and why?
« on: January 13, 2012, 09:24:04 am »
Thanks.
I think I'll switch to forward lunges for now and i will consider doing multi-directional ones later in the season...

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / What kind of lunges and why?
« on: January 13, 2012, 05:31:37 am »
My main question is about normal vs reverse lunges , but for better topic coverage let's talk about BSS and walking lunges too.
I remember adarq favoring the reverse lunges, but i don't remember why. Since i am implementing them (reverse) for a long time now, i would be interested to read a few arguments about each kind of lunge and reevaluate things.

What about hang power cleans vs full power cleans , still under a power/vert-specific point of view?

yeah the "good improvements" part is what matters. keep on keepin' on!

Yes , thanks , my moto too. It is obvious that i am very weak at ATG squats but i will stick with them , i'm very interested to see how improving those will affect my jumping.

LOL , was just kidding though , you were on a PR train already , you would have had the same results yesterday even if you did avishek RVJ deadlifts the other day!  :P

On a serious note , i really like that last template you wrote. Simple and zeroing in all the jumping essentials.
Maybe add a p-chain assistance exercise somewhere?

On the first phase i would turn one day to 'power day' , better be day 2 , consisting of power cleans/snatches and heavy explosive box squats. That would help your ( lacking? 34 RVJ is low for 2*BW ) RFD and also leave some room for better recovery, resulting awesome jumps at day 3.

dunked a tennis ball repeatedly, probably 8-10 times. i've been able to jump high enough before but didn't have one on hand. anyway it's the first time i've ever actually put something through the rim. it felt awesome, i was giddy afterward. and i think i actually PR'd for height, too. true 34, for sure. sweet.

You guys don't understand. That phase of life is over for ADARQ.

So once again , we are all wrong and somehow you understand and realize something all others don't , despite the fact that those who talked know adarq better than you.
I see a pattern here...
