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.

  Some guys use the hook grip because they dont want to tear the biceps tendon, as the hand thats reversed in the mixed grip puts it in more danger, especially if there is reason to think that their tendons might not be coming along as fast as the muscles.  Some use it because its comfortable, and they feel they can get a higher start with it. 

Ouch. Undercover steroid junkie shot by Lance.

He improved on his form quite a bit lately and he's a beast now strength wise.

Whatever man, you're too nitpicky. Unless it's a blatand travel (like REALLY taking three steps with the ball in your hand) I say that's not a travel.

And the fact that you eurostep or not is irrelevant as long as you take only 2 steps.

135x5 :ibsquatting: :personal-record: at 82.5 kg BW (!)

Actually I think it was 136 kg since I also used the metal stops for the plates which weight about 500g each. So that makes 300 lbs x 5 reps. :ibjumping:
