  Also remember, long levers are a huge ADVANTAGE in sport, you may not have it super easy lifting huge numbers in the weight room, but the higher you get those numbers, the more magnified the effect in performance vs a shorter limbed individual.

Thanks, Lance. Lots of power, but unfortunate misses. Do you know if he is committed to weightlifting now? I remember him doing some powerlifting and VJ training before.


no idea man, I keep up with pendlays stuff and saw he tried out for the team while I was watching the videos.

 His lifts start at :59 in the first vid, and early on in the second vid.

Why was it removed? It was a video of Gary draining his knees...

 Maybe Gary didnt want you to post it, thats his business, if he wanted to post it he could do it himself.

  Looks like youre having some rough days, hang in there.  Its important to remember when cutting, that the trip there is not the same as the stay.  Youll have some days like that for sure,  but look at them through the grand scheme of things, a few off days here and there  but youre achieving a much longer term goal in the process. Things will even out and youll  be able to make up for those days you felt "off" with no problem.

  You may need to use a box for a little while until you learn to lead with your hips first, then transition into a free squat.  The stance does not need to be wider, the load needs to be shifted to your HIPS though. 

The video you linked shows a much different squat than you are using, note the "sit  back" cue given.  You also need to squat with more depth, so that you strengthen your glutes and hamstrings up to par, and arent overusing the knee.

My form is actually pretty good.  I think it is the fact that i have a meniscus inflammation in the knee that is bothering me a lot.



 How do you know your form is good?  Youve asked for help several times where people have told you to POST A FORM CHECK, yet you havent yet.  Last you said you forgot your camera.  It is beyond me why someone would  be afraid to post a form check video, that would help them progress, and prevent getting hurt.

Ok sir, I've posted some form check videos in my journal: http://www.adarq.org/forum/progress-journals-experimental-routines/back-from-the-graveyard-any-help-would-be-greatly-appreciated/new/#new

  First, Im glad you actually posted form check vids, most the time we get to this point it never happens.

 Now, its highly likely that with your already existing knee condition, and the way youre squatting there (half squat, very little hip involvement, weight shift forward) that your squats in fact are a large part of your knee issues.

 With an already existing knee issue, I would change the style of squat youre using to a full squat, and with more hip involvement (sit back more).

watch these videos, take note of the positions, and adapt a similar form. I put money on it that your knees start to feel much better, very very soon.

lol i'm not afraid, i'm just lazy to do it b/c of all this uploading to youtube, make youtube acct and edit video... i may do it when i have time...

 You have started A LOT of threads on here with random things, that time would be more efficiently used taking the 3 minutes you need to make a youtube account.

i know it is solid because 2 ppl that know what they're doing has given me advice on it.

 You dont know enough yet to determine that. They might be right, however they may also be wrong, and you assume they are right because they are "good" at something, in your frame of reference.

   also, have you had an mri done or are you just assuming you have a torn meniscus?

 It would be a good idea to post a squat form check video.

Long story short, for over 3 years i've had chronic sciatica. I would get some bad bouts where it would be painful even getting out of bed. I sought medical treatment and I believe on last count tried 3 different physical therapists, a massage therapist and two 2 doctors. This was a complete waste of time. The first doctor told me it was ok to take ibuprofen for up to 6 months. I can't imagine anything more negligent than this advice. I took that stuff, and probably did more damage to my body than good. The physios prescribed a battery of different stretches, did that stuff, it made things better or worse sometimes. I did the foam rolling bullshit the bros love, the tennis ball and softball rolling all of that. It sometimes helped and sometiems made things worse.

Come 2012 and I just resigned myself with the though that i'd have this problem for the rest of my life. and hey, i got pretty good at managing it, i could use dencorub and ibuprofen when things got particularly bad. I knew the stretches i could do make me feel better. But i just accepted that it would be a life long thing.

So the last few months ive had no problems with my back. I've felt normal. But it was only today that I realised i was completely cured. I did the one test which always failed - lying on my back and raising my left leg into the air. Normally it would go about 50-60 degrees before I couldn't go any further, i'd have to stop there from sciatica caused discomfort. But what a shock when I found I could go all the way to 90 degrees, pain free. I'm cured. I can't explain this at all.

If i was to attempt an explanation, i'd say adding sprinting into my training, doing a lot of RDLs and staying away from deadlifts and working hard on my squatting form has made me better. I can't explain why these things would help, but they have. Perhaps my sciatica was caused by some kind of imbalance? I don't know. I couldn't tell you. I just find it completely stunning that i've fixed something that defied treatment for so long.

This is the best training community around. There is a focus on movement, strength, athleticism and so on. I know if I was doing what i had been for the last few years i would still have sciatica but being around here and doing sprints and jumps and working on form and different facets of movement, even trying different exercises has been a godsend. I think you guys are genuinely on to something with the multifaceted philosophy and training approach.

 Thats great man, very glad to hear!@!

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Additional strength exercises
« on: July 24, 2012, 10:20:51 pm »

  On any exercise you want to add weight as frequently as possible, you need to work in a slightly higher rep range with the lunges though, something like 8-10 will work well. 

Start with a weight that allows you 8 reps, and when you can get 10 on all your sets, add weight.

 The sl box squat for one leg jumpers is a fairly advanced exercise, its not a pistol squat to a box and you need to have spent some solid time training before youll be able to do them correctly anyhow.

Plyometrics


He means what exercises are you referring to as "plyos".  If youre doing things like stiff leg ankle hops and line hops, thats fine for you.  If youre doing things like depth jumps and high intensity bounding, youre not ready for that yet.
