Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Plyos before strength training?
« on: April 06, 2011, 12:48:35 pm »
I think overdoing on the isos can mess up your proprioceptive awareness if you do them before dynamic things (like playing your sports).
That's also static stretching shouldn't really be done. I for one, whenever I do static stretching, I'm not actually relaxing but staying very stiff and contracted to be able to maintain that position. If I were to relax my body would move/limbs move/lose the stretch. So that's basically an iso that messes up with your proprioceptive awareness.

Crazy dream last night... oh man...
I dreamed that a nuke just fell somewhere like 5 kilometers away from my building and I was like "hey, is this really happening? I mean, it only happens in my dreams, I never thought this will happen in real life" and then I went on the streets and the streets were flooded with water all the way up to the neck, sometimes even higher, and was walking through water behind a neighborgh of mine, and he was walking and sometimes entering deeper water and I used to get so scared.
Then I took a subway "to Hell", everybody was bragging about how cool it is and that I should take it. Went in through a back door of the train and there were so many WEIRD people there... everybody looking at you and pointing and stuff like that, and then some train "officials" came in and gave us some weird, bug-like pills to take... and took that and swallowed it and then we had a moment to realize that maybe that wasn't the brightest of ideas ... but we couldn't do anything about that since we already swallowed it ... and then we reached "Hell" which was some kind of computer generated level with "blocks" of blue... then I don't remember anymore.
If anything, search for "minecraft" on youtube, it looked like that, but blue and underground.

Haha, can we be more antagonistic than this or what? Let me guess, you also like Carmelo, Rip Hamilton, Bruce Bowen, Raja Bell, Ron Artest, Dennis Rodman, Bill Laimbeer, Chauncey Billups, Anderson Varejao, Manu Ginobili?

Nah, I squatted 140 some time ago. It wasn't that hard so it's probably higher than 140, more like 145-150. So it's in the 320-330 lbs range. But that's when I weighed 85 kg, now I weigh 81. I'm sure I can squat 140 right now though.

New 
today: 120x3 x 5 sets. Probably could've done more, and I will try more the next time just to see where I start to struggle in terms of volume.
Also did Adarq's LTMP intensity workout at ~15 hours and went in the park after that and did a standing vertical jump dunk on the 2.96 m rim (9'8 ). I was jumping high today.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Deadlift and squat form
« on: April 05, 2011, 01:05:19 pm »
In his particular situation, I'd suggest he actually starts with the bar touching his shins. One inch off might be 2 or 3 for him (he might think it's one inch but it will be more). So touch the shins with the bar and keep on sliding it there softly.

I did complex training. I used MSEM + jump squats, 3 rep squats + sprints, MSEM + depth jumps etc.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Squatting weight and vertical jumping

I wonder what happens if you keep the same stance and put the bar lower on your back.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Standing vertical vs. running vertical
« on: April 04, 2011, 06:38:42 pm »
Well if you go really "strict" in terms of specificity, a squat will work to improve your standing VJ and a depth jump will be used to improve your running VJ. But obviously these things are intertwined and is not that simple.
