Definitely. I think the full squat is great for building muscle and as a GPP tool while the half squat, more specific, is more of a SPP tool.

I have a feeling you're kicking my butt in terms of half squatting. And I have a feeling it doesn't matter how much you can full squat... what matters is how much you can half squat since that's jump specific.

Yeah we never argue, foul or call traveling when playing together either!

Was an example of "democracy". That'd teach us former communist countries a lesson about proper democracy!

Imagine if he'd actually have proper technique.

Thanks. I should be able to do 300x5 next week if everything works to plan. Don't know about what's going to happen next.

132.5x5 at 83.0 kg :ibsquatting: :personal-record: today

Only 5 lbs away from 300 lbs x 5 reps.

Wait, you can dunk? I thought you were a resistance running athlete.

1) Triple orgasm viewing the picture
2) Great ball - I bet you have great grip with that ball
3) I don't get why you don't jump off one leg for a while and try to dunk... you SHOULD be able to dunk consistently at one point. It's also much easier to dunk in a game off one leg, much more in rhythm as you penetrate and rise vs. having to jump stop and jump off two feet (in my opinion at least).

180 kg / 400 lbs deadlift :personal-record: today. That's a 2.19 ratio.

sick.. u gonna get vid of 405?

I was ABOUT to take the cam with me that day but I was like "nah I won't do it". I don't think I'll film that soon because it's too risky, frankly, to do it often. Maybe somewhere in the future I'll attempt a similar weight but as of right now I want to limit the max deadlifts to ~150 kg because the risk vs reward ratio is not very good with deadlifts and with my back condition.

Thanks anyway ;)

I had that in mind (pulling back) for my next hang powerclean workout... I pull too in front/vertical and DON'T hyperextend (or even extend properly) neither the knees NOR the hips. In fact, I'm very far from doing that.

So it makes sense to actually exaggerate a bit a think "pull back" if I'm already too far in front.
