Yeah, why? You don't think I'm capable or what?

No
Then it's just a guideline.

Who will jump higher (same person so same body structure):
Same guy at 250 lbs and 500 lbs squat
Same guy at 150 lbs and 300 lbs squat
Off one leg ^^^
What about this:
Same guy at 200 lbs and 400 lbs squat with 15% bodyfat (less lean body mass but more powerful neural signals)
Same guy at 200 lbs and 400 lbs squat with 10% bodyfat (more lean body mass but less powerful neural signals)
Same guy at 250 lbs and 500 lbs squat
Same guy at 150 lbs and 300 lbs squat

I don't use periods for inches. Whenever I convert from inches to cm I round it upwards. I'm not crazy to say 32.28 inches.

Well I guess I'm not responding well to being heavy... knee soreness (I think so anyway) from being heavy I guess... I probably should start on trying to cut down... It seems the heavier I get I also get problems...

Um...
... so you're not taking into account the rim thickness? When you say "a rim is 10 feet" do you measure to the bottom of the rim or to the top of the rim?Whatever man.

« on: April 03, 2012, 03:05:44 pm »You need 33 inches just to touch the rim if your reach is 7'5 (2.26m) and the rim is 121 inches (3.08m) (at the highest part of the rim) so... not too shabby. You're about 4 inches over the rim so that's a ~37 inch jump.
Thanks for reposting my analysis but this time wrong.
121'' - 7'5'' = 33'' ???? I mean really???
3.08 - 2.26 = 82 cm = 33 inches.

Yeah it doesn't look too bad. Maybe you could try for a longer run-up and more speed (5 steps or so) and see what that does.

« on: April 02, 2012, 08:39:10 pm »Maybe it's time to man up and build up my low-bar squat, starting as low as it takes. My current block ends next week so it's a convenient point in time for a change.
This^^^^^
I still struggle with the low bar squat when I feel the bar slipping on my back like I did on Sunday. I used a "new" bar. Never doing that again. Old bars that have friction are the best for low bar squatting. And if I didn't have these unflexible shoulders/pecs/scapulas it would be so much easier.
If you can catch in a clean with your elbows up/in front you shouldn't have much problems low bar squatting AFTER you figure out where the bar should sit (which might take some time and make you think about quitting quite a few times before it happens).
But yeah, I started low bar squatting with 50 kg so...

What bar position do you use for the box squats vs the free squats?
When I was doing high bar full squats I had the same "problem"... I remember I was barely squatting 100x4 full but box squatting 110x5 (parallel box depth, but that wasn't the problem in the full squat).
When I was squatting high bar I was so quad dominant that when I was box squatting I could garner more glute power (even though I was still using a high bar placement) so... you might want to look into that.
