He programming bots to write stupid shit now... what a failure.
Why do you pick these idiotic fights over and over?

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: VJ training around an injury
« on: May 13, 2012, 01:14:56 am »Sounds rough man, hope you get pain free again soon. Sometimes you can find exercises that work around those kind of things, and still train the same musculature youre trying to train. Might give a different squat variation a try once things improve a little.

thanks man
Nice work and you bet, glad it helped.

« on: May 06, 2012, 06:30:15 pm »When I said I landed 8 inches behind the line, that was only from 1 try, but regardless, lately I have been attempting to do all my lifts and etc.. more hip dominant and doing more glute activation exercises and such. And now, I tried this test again today with more breaking at the hips and I landed on the line on one of them lol.
Edit: I just tried 5 more, and each of them, I landed either on the line, or 1" behind or in front. I guess I'm equally using hips and quads now?
Yea good work, it can mean different things but the one thing you know for sure is now youre producing more VERTICAL forces with your sv.

« on: April 28, 2012, 11:02:28 pm »Ok, the more linear the results the more effecient, so landing right where you started is obviously the goal. Sometimes the quad/glute dominance is an issue and sometimes its not, but going straight up and down is going to give optimum results regardless.
IF YOU LANDED IN FRONT OF THE LINE-
Practice the top 1/3 of the jump, exaggerating triple extension, with special attention to the knee and ankle. Shoulders can also be an issue, so make sure to extend FULLY, and not what you THINK is fully. Think "reach backwards". If youre still landing forwards, try to make yourself jump backwards slightly, and up.
IF YOU LANDED bEHIND THE LINE-
Get into a semi goodmorning position (hips back, knees only slightly bent). Practice from this position over and over until you feel fluent with it, and are getting some decent height. Eventually add in a little more knee bend, without losing the powerful hip extension youve practiced.
IF YOU LANDED ON THE LINE-
Good job, youre doing it right.

« on: April 25, 2012, 12:29:20 am »Ok good stuff guys, Ill talk more on what to do and what the results mean tomorrow. very briefly, here is what each result CAN, AND IN MANY CASES DOES MEAN, NOTE IT DOESNT ALWAYS LINE UP, THE ARE OUTLIERS OF COURSE.
if you landed behind the line, quad dominance with incomplete hip extension.
if you landed in front of the line, hip over dominance with incomplete knee extension/ not using the quads enough
if you landed right on the line, good alignment and little to no wasted forward/backward force.
usually the better leapers land right on the line, they are producing more purely vertical forces with less wasted movement.
Ill post some of the cues to help fix things if youre landing front/back tomorrow.

Cant really see your takeoff Nightfly, and its hard to see the second half of the approach with the glare from the sun. Ill look over them in more detail tomorrow. I skimmed over the bounds and you want to focus on "posing" longer in the air each bound. Really focus on solid position and dorsi flex the feet in the air, exaggerate the preparation for the next stride.

lol, its not only a quad/glute dominance deal, Ill explain more when you all post what happened but its also simply correcting inefficient movement to create more efficient vertical forces, which will help your jumps out either way.

« on: April 23, 2012, 02:12:19 am »Anyone who wants to participate, a quick and easy assessment test of glute/ quad dominance/movement efficiency.
step 1. put a piece of tape down, around 12 inches in length
step 2. place your feet on the line, aligning the very middle of the foot with the middle of the tape
step 3. close your eyes, and perform a max effort svJ
step 4. do not move your feet from where you landed, take note of where in relation to the tape you were. In front of, Behind, or right on, middle of foot right on center of tape.
step 5. post your results in this thread
