Bad light majorly affects me , adarq too.
Doesn't even have to be dark , just less light is enough to cause 2-3'' loss.
Weird thing is everything feels normal , runup , speed , plant , power... but the jump is lower.

so weird. it's exactly the same for me, everything felt good but i just wasn't getting very high. i wonder what causes that?

Adarqui says it's CNS.
Its a good speculation , otherwise we just have to admit we are pussys

Nothing , BOOOOOO   


25 September 2011

Bodyweight@session : 186
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none

Caffed up dunking session , filming.
I was getting up good  , 32'' was effortless , peak would be 1 or 2 inches higher , don't know because i didn't do rim jumps , only dunk attempts.
Fucking batteries fucking died while warming up on 9'8'' ,   
Still got a few dunks on film but saving them for a later mix , here are my fav stills from 9'8'' warmup dunks:

I wasn't aware you never full squat and you only half squat. Is that so?

No , i do full squats regularly.
The topic has been discussed both in this journal and in that squat thread that we were trying to figure out who is better built for full squats etc , too bored too discuss it again.
Long story sort : I suck at full squats , feels unnatural , cant express my strength/power right , also whenever i stick to them for a while i get right hip problems. I keep them in my routines , warmup/buildup sets are always full. But when i want to really push it , i prefer to half-squat ~50-80lbs more ( that's the difference for me , depending on reps ).

Vag,

  Sweet avatar , just wanted to say thank you for posting http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/trainingweaknesses.html  in Maria's journal, that template is exactly what I've been looking for! Just starting it today, best of luck with the training!

Thanks man , always glad to help!

Didn't go to the gym again because Wednesday is bball season 1st gathering and wanted to be fresh.
Went to the park and did up-tempo bball stuff for ~1 hour.
Did 3 rim jumps at the end of the session :
SVJ 28-29'' , dropstep 30-31'' , DLRVJ 32''
Happy with them coz they came easy  , no caff , and very fatigued.

Yup , the key for a nation to do well at a specific sport is cultural emphasis IMO , somehow cultural circumstances lead to creating a 'school' at a sport. It might be genetic advantage towards that sport ( see former USSR lifters ), might be a random huge success at that sport ( see Greece at basketball after winning Eurobasket 1987 ), could be a few players making great deal of fame and money in anti-capitalistic countries ( see Serbia in all sports ) , many other reasons. Since the 'school' is established , there will always be good athletes production at that sport. Until cultural circumstances again cause the school/interest of the sport to degrade.
Otherwise , medals/achievements in each sport would be almost proportional to the nations populations ( and i am using almost and not directly because financial status plays a big role too ).

PS : Countries mentioning is random , don't go crazy , just wanted to give a few obvious and easy examples.
