ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Cutting down to where?
« on: December 20, 2011, 05:13:17 am »
Well I was thinking, in terms of training, to go with what chezkenny is currently doing: squat + bench + deadlift + pullups/chinups daily, going with 1x5 one day and 9x3 the next two days for speed (with 3 reps with 60, 70 and 80% of 1RM - repeat 3 times)

But in order to push my strength while cutting, I'd actually reduce my squat weight to 130 kg for my work set and try to get as many reps as possible with that weight. 135 feels kind of heavy and the speed is not that great so 130 should give me speed and better control of the weight, plus I can probably do about 6 reps with 130 right now and I can keep on pushing the reps to target 8 if possible. If I can get 8 I'll increase the weight.

So that's the plan: 1xF, 9x3, 9x3, 1xF, 9x3, 9x3 and so on.

Jumper from way too far. Interesting that he jumps off one.

The fact that you do the eurostep which is a step in a direction and another step in the opposite direction is irrelevant - they are still two steps.

As far as gray areas of ruling - they could call travels on each pivot change the players do, and they do a ton of them.

Nobody cares about your argument because your max squat is 225.

Let's see how much YOU can squat with PROPER heel to toe transition! :pissed:

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Cutting down to where?
« on: December 20, 2011, 02:21:21 am »
OK, I'll soon begin my journey into cutting down weight (fat) and my target is to get to about ~75 kg (from my current 84). My squat is 135x5 or 300 lbs x 5.

My question is - going with my bodyweight down and down - I'll be going to lose strength so where is the point where I should kind of "stop" losing weight as the alarm signal in terms of squatting? My aim is 130x5 in the squat - dropping below that and I have a problem.

130x5 gives a projected 146 1RM, and if I get to 75 kg while maintaining a 130x5 squat then I'd have a 1.94 squat ratio vs my current 1.82.

Thanks!

No no, just go with what comes natural and automatic for you and practice only that. In my opinion it's better to be very good at one jumping style than mediocre on multiple styles.

You'd expect a guy with a 420x5 squat to jump higher than 35 SVJ. Just my opinion.


 First, a TRUE 35 svj at his bw of ~200 lbs is not something to laugh at, you dont take into consideration the length of his levers, his bw, fiber distribution, etc. etc., so thats a very dumb statement.  Figure up your squat to bw ratio, and your TRUE svj, then compare it to his ratio.  Maybe he "only" jumps 35 because he doesnt squat on his toes though, hed be flying the rest of high flyers who over analyze and butcher the living fuck out of general strength exercises.



I do, trust me. I take into consideration and all that, but IN MY OPINION, BASED ON HIS STRENGTH NUMBERS, you'd expect a higher SVJ. I'm not "laughing at" whatsoever. 35 is no joke.

If diminutive 5'5 O-lifters jump 40+, you'd expect a taller guy with better leverage to do better at 420x5 squat, even if that weaker than what O-lifters squat.

You're always going to plant your strongest/more controllable leg first when you don't think about it. To him, it's his left.

Yeah keep driving that full squat up, if your form allows it and you improve form over time you'd have a better muscle gain stimulus than what you'd get from half squats + assistance exercises in my opinion.
