Pretty good run-up as expected, although you could probably compress more in the jump. That will come with increased strength though.

The best compression, explosion, body movement, you name it, this is basically top notch. BY FAR. Cut the "oh but he jumps like that because of his structure" crap.

Yeah, that's really cool, you're basically part of history forever (and I'm not sarcastic saying this).

LanceSTS's Performance Blog / Re: SOME JUMP/ PLYO/ EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH WORKOUTS
« on: May 22, 2011, 05:38:57 am »To me, if I try double arm swings in a maximal jump the jump leg is guaranteed to be overloaded and collapse.
So I think the key in getting this is to start submaximally and just focus on the arm swing while keeping the jumps short and not that tall (easy jumping) and increase jump amplitude over a few workouts.
Single arm swing does help me with dunking with the ball in hand though, since it makes the movement natural and easy.
so think about dunking the ball with two hands, off one leg...........
Well I suck at that

@adarq: I actually got inspired by you with the socks sometime last year and wear them very often, usually when I do olympic lifts or for jumping. I actually have been wearing long socks for every volleyball competition for the entire last season. They are just awesome!
haha nice!!
ya man i love how high socks feel.. keeps my lower leg nice and warm, also somewhat compressive so it does feel better than with no socks.. i double/triple sock now.. hah
peace man
Maybe the most underrated part of that is the proprioceptive bonus that they give you. That's one of the reasons I wear thighs all the way down: having a material touch your skin makes you aware of your body position at all times.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Gain more strength when doing atg rather than more weight half squats?
« on: May 21, 2011, 02:32:28 pm »
I think the full squat is better suited for muscle gain as it's less specific to actual jumping but does recruit more muscle (better glute recruitment in a stretched position) and on a bigger rom, the TUT is longer and so on.
Half squatting is good for people who structurally don't squat good ATG or for people who are already at a high level muscularily and want more of a specificity workout at that point (better carryover to jumps).

Haha yeah, I never really read the posts, I usually just "throw my eyes" over what's written and memorize what I can in about 2 seconds or so, and then that's it. Heck, the context is important, right?

If you're not used to it then it might make you too agitated and make you fatigue easily, so keep that in mind.
