Continuing the off-topic ( sorrryyyy ), i am a big fan of converting long distance world class performances to small chunks to realize the greatness. I prefer converting them to sprints.
Half marathon @ 1:05 is.... 210 consecutive 18,5 seconds 100m tempos, LOLOLOLOL, 210 !!!

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...aha......

adarq if you run 1:05 half then you qualify for the next olympic trials. just sayin.

Crazy that that is considered a pedestrian standard for some... sub 5 minutes miles for 13 in a row...   im not even confident I can break 6 for a mile.

yet another illustration of just how far out there world-class athletes are. 500-600 men and women qualify for the olympic marathon trials in the US but only like 10 have any chance of actually qualifying. the rest are extremely good runners who are nevertheless totally uncompetitive with the top people.

people can come work out with me if they are willing to do exactly what i was planning to do anyway. it would actually be great to have a workout partner who was down to do the same routine as me.

too close to give up on goal now. being a generally better athlete can wait.

and yes, you're right, no more dodgeball dunks. need lobs.

so with that in mind, what do you think? run another peaking block? it worked really freaking well the first time.

jesus christ, raptor.

had a dream a couple of nights ago where i'd finally gotten confirmation that i was moving to pakistan and my ex and i agreed to meet up before i left. we both were pretty emotional and were telling each other that we couldn't not be together and stuff like that. went back to her house and had sex. then i woke up.

i daydream along those lines, as well, but it's the first time i remember having a genuine sleeping dream about it.

WEIGHT: 187 (171.8)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: back feeling a little wonky in a couple places
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
hit 30 SVJ with the vest on, that's good

- DLRVJ x 10
crap, there was a little kid running around and throwing a ball and her fucking mom wouldn't keep her away from the area where i was jumping. distracted, did not want to KO or trip over a two year old. missed a bunch with the dodgeball, frustrated.

- SLRVJ and SVJ x some

---------------------------------------------------------------

not quite sure what to do now. i made PRs on the block that t0ddday laid out and that i followed fairly faithfully, then had a week off-ish because of the snowstorm. so should i just try the t0ddday block again, but with a slightly lower starting weight? see if i can get to 165-166 by the end of february? i will have a forced layoff from feb 12-15 when i got to california for my friend's bachelor party, but otherwise i don't think i'm traveling.

Irritating comment re: English writing: "P.S." stands for "postscript." So if you want to add another after your initial P.S., you'd go to P.P.S. (post-postscript), then P.P.P.S. (post-post-postscript), and so on.

Sorry vag, especially if you knew that already. Couldn't help myself.  :-*

W/r/t trying to change the amount of knee bend: SVJ is a learned skill like any other movement, if a fairly simple one. Everyone will have a different optimal amount of knee bend, forward lean, etc., based on their structure. But that doesn't mean you can't try to add depth to your technique with submax practice and then draw on it when you max out.

this is the paper i was thinking of: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25965000 "Effect of different knee starting angles on intersegmental coordination and performance in vertical jumps"

also if anyone has journal access, this one looks really interesting: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26712510 "Understanding Vertical Jump Potentiation: A Deterministic Model"

wow you have very little dip compared to me and kf. i wonder if you could jump higher if you spent some time working on a deeper countermovement. there is some experimental evidence to support a correlation between countermovement amplitude and SVJ height.
