are the SL bounds with a run-up or from a standing start/false step?

Your coach sounds awesome.
My coach is kind of like that but he's really dedicated to the 'professional' scene since he won the Bay Sheffield. Basically his son sprints (and also won the Bay Sheff) so he's there to coach his son. But because he's soo into the 'professional' scene he wanted to start a squad so he's happy to train pretty much anyone as long as they train at the same time as his son.
I didn't really appreciate the coaching until I went to Sydney. Training with a group and with having a coach that knows their stuff is heaps motivational. Since your coach used to train the Australian team I'd say he'd definitely know his stuff better than most.
Oh yeah I forgot you were already doing post grad study ages ago. Have you got your masters now?
rad man, that's good work. godspeed with the PhD.
multiple sclerosis?
Congrats on the PhD.
What are you studying it on?
Thanks mate, I started it ages ago now but I realised I hadn't even mentioned it. I'm in MS research.Ankle weights? Why not a weight vest?
They eventually use them. I think the lightest the coach has is 3kg.
Nice. You're going to be busy for the next 4 years haha.
They're building this massive medical research and science centre in Adelaide so there's definitely going to be a lot of work in the future for your field.
Your clubs started pre-season fairly early. We start mid-July.
I dont get it. When the chinese coach guy told me to do ankle jumps etc in 2013, LBSS & co said lol wut. And when I asked specifically for advice for improving my athleticism (Jan-April) i got absolutely nothing, even though I was willing to try out anything. But when i decide to get back to what I think I care about (squat goals), suddenly everyone piles up giving their 2c and tell me im going about things the wrong way. So excuse me if i'm a bit annoyed.
don't remember the chinese coach thing but are you fucking serious about january? that's what you remember? there are pages and pages of t0ddday and raptor (and me and vag) trying to suggest things, encourage you to FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE in doing dot drills and line hops and the like, writing out sample programs. go back and look.
Congrats on the PhD.

Well IMO that's just a very negative view on your own state of affairs. You might just think it's being realistic but slow clunky people can become fast athletic people with smart training and commitment. I've seen it, others here have seen it, fuck, adarq himself was a slow-twitch long-distance guy before he started training for vert. There's plenty of examples and you haven't really given any convincing reason why you CAN'T be like that as well. Why not just change your journal name to 'chasing kingfish' then?
I'm sure you'll think I'm being naive and you seem pretty set in your opinion on this but there's no logical reason to hold self-limiting beliefs when it comes to athletic training. Every other aspect in life you need to be realistic, but not training. No one is going to laugh at you, you've literally got nothing to lose except realising what your actual potential is. Most people don't even scratch the surface.
i don't do RVJ but that doesn't mean im plyo deficient. i do so many volumes of low-mid intensity jump drills using jump ropes and hurdles. those + the actual SVJ drills.
i consecutive double leg jump 36" hurdles 8-12 in a row. those are my favorite aside from the 2-hand SVJ dunks.
even simple 1-min set of single leg jump rople drill (front to back, and side to side) will get you stiffer in just a couple of weeks of doing them consistently.
strong plyos eventually boost your squat too.
Todday you're right, it's internet wisdom for better or worse. Also if you take anabolics and don't lift, you still gain significant FFM and lose FM. Add weight training to it and you improve gains. It's not a stretch to say training specifically for hypertrophy maximises gains of mass when juicing, hence the BB style training popularised by users.
My argument in light of the above paragraph was just that if you're juicing then it doesn't really matter so much how you train because the effects of the supplements will take place regardless. It's not that you have to train differently when juicing, it's that you don't have to train the same as a natural. If you're natural though you need to train better/harder/whatever you want to call it/ to make gains.
Coges, im really really skeptical of what these guys say/claim regarding reactivity. I don't believe it. IF i was to quantify my belief in it, i'd say maybe they're 2-3% correct. Unless I see proof i'm not going to change my mind, there is a lot of bs info in training, including jump training and otherwise on the internet. My default stance is that it's bs unless i become convinced otherwise. I will be try it out myself at some point, but right now i dont want to waste my time experimenting with something i don't think will be effective. Later on, when i've exhausted gains from squats, i'll give other things a try. But i haven't done that yet. Not really. Until i get back to squatting near 180kg while weighing a lean 85kg, i don't have any reason to try other stuff which will probably do close to nothing. My bias is my bias, i don't make excuses for it, that's how i see it.
