No idea where to post it, but it's definitely on the "and shit" category:

The problem is - when I buy it it's bagged in a plastic container, and you can't open it unless you buy it. But it's about 3 euros so...

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Back/left buttock pain
« on: May 03, 2011, 10:31:14 am »
Probably. Whenever I did stepups or lunges I always felt my right glute so much more "firing" than the left one... oh man...
I just did some med ball stuff and stretching and I can touch the ground with both palms right now, I just feel a little "bother" in the glute right now, but it's amazing, just a few minutes ago I couldn't really get past my knee. Funny thing is - I did pretty much hip flexor and ab work with the med ball (med ball kept between the knees or between the feet), not sure what's going on.

Funny you talk about jump roping, I'm going right now to buy one. Are there more sizes to it depending on how tall you are or anything?

Well at least in my case, this thing appeared after doing some heavy squats + heavy deadlifts, follow by SMITH MACHINE calf raises (that always give me back problems) and some high rep leg extensions. Then it accentuated after I did 90x20 half squats while having "some" back pain.

I don't think you're getting fat, I think your hair is getting bigger. Cut that off and be 130 lbs.

I don't like them either. Those so called "Romanians" are actually thieves and gypsies with Romanian nationality that go abroad to steal and beg for money. Truth being told, the majority here has a very low education level, due to former communist regime, so... you can't expect too much.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Cheap sources of Protein

A cheap source of protein is eating worms that come out of the ground after rain. It's basically free protein.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: BSS vs stationary lunges
« on: May 02, 2011, 04:13:24 am »For my unilateral training, I was wondering which of these to use. Which is better for single leg jumpers looking to improve vertical?
I can't do WALKING lunges, because in my gym, it's very hard to walk around with a barbell on me(too crowded/narrow spaces)
You worry too much. Do any of these. Heck, alternate them if anything. Talk less, do more.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: How to improve running vertical jump?
« on: May 02, 2011, 04:07:55 am »
Why is it that I jump the same height running from far out and jumping as I do off a slow and short distance run up? how can I improve that?
It's because you don't actually benefit from all those additional steps. Taking myself as an example, when I was very "thin" (weighed 147 lbs) I used to jump very well off 7-10 steps of momentum. Now at 180 lbs I tend to jump well off 3-5 steps and actually jump worse from 7-10 steps because I'm more into accelerating into the jump now, whereas in the past I used a constant speed and jumped pretty much reactively at that speed, without force being an important factor. And obviously, I was weighing less.
It's still a matter of being able to amortizate properly in the last step, to prevent knee collapse and proper horizontal to vertical transformation of momentum, and for that you need strong quads and probably good calves.
