I have no idea. Maybe. Probably. Is one rep at ~95% that hard every day?
The audio on the first clip didn't work for some reason (iPhone camera etc etc). The first four clips were roughly 10 ft I think. The last one was 11 ft for sure (we measured it and held the door in place).
For a 300lb'er, Pat moves amazingly well. But then again, when he cleans 500lbs, you would expect him to be able to jump. FWIW, this was on the same day that he competed up in Utah and then stiffened up over the course of a several hour car ride back to Vegas.
IF you got a job as a garbage man (or run a jackhammer, or some other physically demanding job) and had to pick up heavy cans all day long, I'm sure the first day would be very difficult - possibly almost impossible for some to complete so what do you do? take 3 days off and possibly lose your job? NO! you would take your sore, beaten self to work the next day. You would mope around and be fatigued - much less energetic than the previous day, but you would make yourself get through it. Get home, soak in the tub, take aspirin, etc. The next day would be worse..etc. etc. Eventually you will be running down the street tossing cans around and joking with your coworkers. How did this happen? You forced your body to adapt to the job at hand! IF you cant' squat everyday, lift heavy everyday then you are not OVERTRAINED, you are UNDERTRAINED!

Realizing Mark Rippetoe is an idiot: Seeing his claim of putting 25 pounds of muscle on a kid in 1 month, claimed he was 18% bodyfat when he was around 35%.
Realizing Everyone on Rippetoe's forum is a nuthugger: Looking at the amount of posts Steven-Miller has on there
Is that sufficient for you?
And yes I think SS is a good program and I think rippetoe is a good powerlifting coach
Maybe this has been discussed before, but I have started to notice that most good white jumpers have decent calf size. I think we can all agree that black vs. white athletes are often structured differently. Most black athletes have more of the long achilles high cut calf spring function going. Perhaps to make up for that the white athlete has to have more of a muscle force production function and bigger muscles produce more force generally speaking??? Look at Rips calves for example.I can name so many examples-from kids on my college soccer team to guys I see in the park today. ... most white great athletes have big calves. Am I crazy?
no plyos, just basic strength training! Build her a t-handle and buy some cheap used weightplates and let her do deadlifts, sumo-deadlifts, swings & one legged squats, king deadlifts and other bodyweight exercises. Also various "core" stabilization exercises like planks could be very beneficial.
Again, no plyos! Just strength training + volleyball training will be far enough for at least 1 year or much longer, depending on how fast she gets stronger
Exactly. Make some sandbags. Buy a cheap weight set (she won't need a lot of weight). She needs to get to a body weight squat as a first goal.
No plyos until she is stronger. The only movement efficiency type training I suggest she gets is maybe hill sprinting (steep hills) in off season when she isn't playing 4 times a week. Always on hills to protect the hammies and reduce shock to weak tendons.
It's off season now, I believe she plays one time a week max and maybe sometimes a bit of beachvolleyball. So that's ok. About hill sprinting: we don't really have hills nearby, so that's a bit difficult..

Wow!.
To perform gymnastics you need incredible core strength/flexibility. I bet these guys could pull off planche push ups.
