Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Weight Vested Plyo's
« on: August 12, 2015, 03:30:42 pm »
i haven't read anything about weighted vests in a while, but IIRC they're most useful for stim if you just wear them around all day. contraindicated for plyos and bounds and stuff because you're already overloading the joints, the vest is superfluous for training effect and, as you said, can worsen movement efficiency.

the vest might be causing you more pain just by making you heavier.

yesterday:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe a little
MENTAL STATE: great

- squash x an hour
basketball court was in use by the fucking krav maga children. so my best friend and i played squash for the first time since college. we're evenly matched in most things but back in the day he beat me more often than not in squash. but i had my revenge yesterday: 16-14, 15-13, 17-15, 13-15. winning is good.  :D

made me want to play more, such a fun game.

today:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right shin, left lat, glutes
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe
MENTAL STATE: tired, zero motivation, had to drag myself to the gym

- jump rope and joint circles x 20 mins

- stretch

better than nothing.

thanks adarq.

gymmed today but my buddy couldn't come, so i did a kind of potentiation workout in anticipation of max effort tomorrow. then found out that some fucking krav maga group rented the gym from 10-5 and there's basketball league after that. fml. i'll try to go in the morning but there's a less than 1% chance that my buddy will come down that early, and PRing in the morning is basically impossible for me anyway. damn it damn it damn it.

was hoping to PR before leaving for the beach next saturday but that's looking unlikely. may just bust my ass this week instead, then take the beach week off/light, then try to PR the last week of august.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe a little, right posterior shoulder a little (?)
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 3
was getting up pretty good but didn't want to tire myself out.

- depth jump @14" x 4,4
very explosive.

- fuck around with some dead-stop chest-to-bar pull ups and some paused dips

- stretch

i was able to get the rim with both hands off a standing, flat footed vertical before. i struggle to broad jump over 7 ft though

does not compute. however, sounds like you've got something to work on. a 7' broad jump is woeful. i'm in the middle of the pack on here explosiveness-wise and my broad jump is over 9'.

let your knee guide you to what's safe, but i'd suggest starting with glute activation stuff like single-leg bridges, bridge holds, ISO BSS, x-band walks, and 4-way cable hip extensions. keep it light and high-rep, and focus hard on activating your butt. you can also do stuff like KB/DB swings, focusing on the hip snap, and RDLs.

i wouldn't do anything with high impact until my knee felt better, if i were you.

Then get after it! You've got this!  You'll be surprised how motivated a close miss can make you ;)

see my signature. my buddy who's in from out of town is gonna come work out with me this weekend. he is flaky and always late, but if the gym is open on saturday the way it was today i'll try to get him down there when the court is open. and he can throw me lobs. i've tried the adarq self-lob method, it's really freaking hard and messes up my timing. much easier to get a tosser.

using the standard of "whole palm over rim" to be able to put down a well-timed lob, i am 1" away. and given that rattled-home weak sauce still counts for me as goal achieved, i think i could have done that on saturday.
