Article & Video Discussion / Re: Joel Smith's one-leg jump peak program

When you see adistarhj do squats (albeit quarter) with 140 you know you need to squat 400 lbs.

As for the sprints, I think you're right. Although I heavily hiperventilate and feel really sick after a few sprints. I'm lately kind of jumping forward instead of up so I need to work on that as well.

Yeah I know... I think I'll use the powerjumper as a "weight vest" (in terms of overload) for the two leg jumps (two leg bounds), but it won't work on the single leg bounds due to the non-jumping staying bent and under you so it shortens the power jumper canceling it's tension.

I wonder what happens if I bound on one leg with a med ball in hands? (haha) I should try to somehow switch to a double arm swing... I'll see what I can do.

My usual plyo workout is 3x30m sprint, single leg bounds on my left leg for about 3 or 4 sets of 20m and then 5 double leg bounds for 4-5 sets.

Well as far as I'm concerned, I HAVEN'T followed the program to a T plyo wise... since my right knee is idiotic and I can only do LLLL bounds, it didn't make too much sense to waste time to go to the track and do that so I went in the park instead since basketball is "some sort" of plyo in itself. Yes, I know.

I think I'm going to modify the plyo day and do LLLL for a few sets and then go with double leg bounds until a 5% dropoff happens.

Anybody knows?

what's your obsession with this guy's tattoo?

I thought it was... "interesting".

Just kidding

I was actually masking a "bump" because this is too good to be true. I mean the picture, not the tattoo. Not the guy.

NEVERMIND.

Don't steroids help with joints as well? Aren't they prescribed after surgeries etc?

Dreamed that I was in India having a seminar with Rippetoe. And he asked me to put in a 3 kg orange plate, transparent, with some "bubbles" in it on a barbell. Then he comes in and asks me why that plate isn't 3 kg (it's heavier or lighter than 3 kg).

And I invent something and he turns to his audience and says "see, this guy hasn't read my book". And he takes me by the shoulder and walks me to a marketplace where they were selling honey. And I'm like "oh, yeah, it's because the density is different!". And he's happy with that answer, but suddenly he becomes a thin, light Indian man (120 lbs or so) with a moustache and faints. And I was with a playboy model or something. The Indian cops come in and I'm like "it's your turn to roll" (to the girl) and she tries to show her tits in a way or anther to the cops to let us leave.

The end.
