Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: weight vests

Ive always wanted to try out a weightvest, especially while playing basketball. I remember reading about weightbelts being better as they dont affect your posture. Also the weight is centered near your center of gravity, so movements arent affected either. Thats the idea at least.

i can't imagine that a belt would stay in place very well. the vest i posted earlier hugs tightly around my chest and so feels very natural, just as if i were 13 pounds fatter than i am. doesn't move around at all and doesn't drag down much on my shoulders.

+1 for distractions and hanging out with people without talking about it.

WEIGHT: 172.8 (170.8 -- no weight vest)
SORENESS:
ACHES/INJURIES: right low back tweaked on squats a little, uh-oh
MENTAL STATE: good, a little slow

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a few
not great but my baseline has clearly moved up. hit 33 easily off one step, couple dunks with the small dodgeball.

- squat 315 x 1,1,1,1
meant to keep going but right low back was off. form was off, even in warm ups i was rocking forward too much. weird.

- hip thrust 295 x 12,12

- ladder x 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1
-- pull up
-- dip

- stretch

just about parallel, it seems to me. if you put your heels up on 5lb plates (or got shoes) you could full squat easily i think.

snowy weekend = gym was closed until today and was only open for a few hours today. as per usual after even a short layoff, i felt weak and slow.

WEIGHT: 191 (172.8 -- more alcohol than normal over the last few days prob accounts for some of this)
SORENESS: right arm from snowball fights, lol
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: fine

- warm up

- SVJ x 6

- DL bound x 4,4,4

- squat x warm up

felt out of sorts, cut it off. back to normal tomorrow i think.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: High bar vs Low bar 2.0, by Greg Nuckols
« on: January 26, 2016, 01:15:16 pm »
yeah i'm upright-ish because my body is structured to allow me to do so: short femurs, long torso. it's kind of a hybrid, though, i'm obviously not as upright as i would be if i moved the bar up, or to a front squat. check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03mF1JEpzj4 vs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngkwd5xQSyY

i sort of agree with merrick, except w/r/t the knee stress comment. i really think everyone is a special flower to some extent, and unless you're competing in PL or OL, you should pick the style that gives you the least amount of joint stress/discomfort, regardless of where the bar is placed. for a lot of people that will be HB full squat, but not all.

i low-bar squat. the bar is just more comfortable that way.

Was informed this morning in a text message...yea a fucking text, that my wife wants a divorce. Apparently shes been lying for a while about some pretty big stuff and got tired of faking working on our relationship. So....fuck her. Maybe she'll run back to her abusive ex. idk. idc. im not worrying about anyone who doesnt care about me.

dude please back out of the squat rack. so much safer than walking forward. rep looked good, though.

also, fwiw, merrick is right about body image.
