oh man i really wouldn't recommend using more weight on one side than the other. no basis in anything other than ZOMG YOU'RE GONNA HURT YOURSELF. but that seems dangerous and unlikely to produce the desired effect.

it's been suggested before i think for correcting imbalance by lyle but not in the context of barbell stuff. I'm also using a lighter weight. But. It's still not ideal. Im not sure what i can do right now about this problem but it's something i'd like to address for the long term

yeah i mean for DBs it'd be one thing, although i would do them separately and not at the same time. the BB thing wigs me out, though.

hickson hasn't logged in here since 2012.

EDIT: still training though, at least as of last fall. grip strength still mind-boggling.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Ankle Sprain Questions n Stuff
« on: January 13, 2015, 09:23:23 pm »
couple of recommendations, which i'll preface by saying AREG is important. don't do anything that feels very painful. the idea is basically to both strengthen the muscles around there that have been weakened by inactivity but also to restore your sense of how to stand and balance on the foot, first statically and then dynamically.

right away:

- balancing on one leg. get to where you can do it for a minute straight and then start adding variations, like standing on a thick pillow, doing it with your eyes closed, doing it while throwing a ball against the wall, doing it while reaching down and touching your toe with the opposite hand, standing on a thick pillow and throwing the ball, etc.
- standing on the edge of a towel in your bare feet and rolling it up under your foot with your toes
- picking up and moving marbles around with your toes.

and one that's a bit more advanced:

- half ice-skaters. stand on the good foot with the bad foot in the air. jump sideways toward the bad foot and balance on it. repeat.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: How transferable are neural squat gains to the vertical jump?

Totally broscience-based opinion:
I would guess that the less reactive you are, the more correlation your RVJ will have with your squat/bw ratio. Because a very reactive person will rely less on strength and vice versa. But now we have to define what a reactive person is, omg, i'm outta here!  :P
Also broscience, neural gains should be the same with 'real' gains. I don't care if it is the smolov routine, the spider in your shouler ( rip ) , an adrenaline injection or a pack of cocaine you inhaled that gives you the strength. Maybe it will go away soon if its neural or stim , but that given moment you are that strong and it should transfer to all activities related to that strength.
:lololol:

I definitely agree on the less reactive --> more correlation between strength and vertical part. makes sense.

And also starting to think that neural gains in the squat are highly transferrable to the vertical jump. Especially becase the more I think about it... the squat isn't so damn complicated that i can make SOOO many gains by improving my squatting efficiency. rather, the gains should be from an increase in rate coding and muscle fiber recruitment.

bro, gains in efficiency IS increases in rate coding and muscle fiber recruitment, bro.

working out with DOMS shouldn't be dangerous. you should be able to overcome enough of the soreness to at least do some productive work, even if not at highest quality. this is why a lot of those programs have transition or introductory blocks -- smolov sure does. maybe try extending your warm up a bit and doing more paused squats with light weights once you get under the bar.
