Start hitting those PR jumps soon man!

Thanks man , hopefully you're right in both!

Was reading through your journal. Pretty good stuff! I see big thing happening in your future.

As he's getting younger, the sky's the limit!

Well, perception is reality. If he thinks he's old, his body knows no better. I dont believe he'll get weaker as he ages, rather stronger in his lifts as time goes on. It's a lot of misconception on this forum, and one way thinking, and your correct the sky is the limit. Big things!  

Thanks icravesolefood ( lol , nice nick! )
It's a huge topic , training in my age.
Long story short from my experience:
Training approaches , methods , strength gains , diet and all are the same for 14 or 44
The two big problems with age are recovery time ( not for injuries , well those too but i mean muscle recovery ) and food partitioning. Probably joints&tendons elasticity too but i can't tell because im god damn lucky at that, no probs ever.
I see we are the same age , your numbers are impressive. Your journal/progress will be very interesting...


Ok , so no training = extra time for video edit , i uploaded a jump form vid :
http://www.adarq.org/forum/adarq-org-special-content/age-vs-vertical-pics-and-vids/msg52760/#msg52760

So apparently my back was 95% recovered ( feeling like 100% ) but on my ME jumping on Monday i pulled it hard at the same spot, so now it's fucked 
It's not annoying at all in normal activities , i just can't squat and jump.
So all i can do vert-wise is stretch and focus on diet ( ultra high protein , ultra low carbs ), new recovery estimation is middle of next week , hopefully ill be below 190lbs by then...

FML +  + FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

29 June 2011

Bodyweight@session : ~191.5
Injuries/aches : back hurting.
Soreness : none

-Extended lower body stretch routine

Back feeling much better , currently at ~80% or so.

Thanks man!
I'm surprised i got 28+ SVJs and 33'' dropsteps in that condition.
I am for sure fatigued but that was the final week of the high-freq block, worst case scenario is fuck that last week and use it for rest/recovery. Ill AREG/modify it depending on condition...

This might be your best athletic day... I mean, depth jumps, jump squats and (very) strong half squats. It's gotta be.

True , i was feeling like doped , legs were extremely powerful. Wish i catch them at a similar state on a jumping day soon...

Legit 90 degrees knee angle in all reps , torso upright , AWESOME!!!

Previous half squat PR was 3 MSEM singles @ 319 and i was 198.5lbs too.

Program probably sucks

Or probably doesn't. Have you seen it? If not how did you guess?

he's probably not 5'5 and/or the rim is probably not 10'0, and not only that, but there are people on this board who jump higher than him through proper training already.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WJsyxjzWS4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WJsyxjzWS4</a>

Jump-wise he is a damn beast , noone in this forum can jump that high. I don't know if he earned it if he was born with it and i don't care either , calling out the rim and his height makes you sound like a hater.

PS : I'm not defending his program because i have not seen it. I have no idea if it's good or bad.
This is the program review thread though , gotta bring a better argument than "probably" and the rim heights.
