So Nightfly is smart for jumping 8 inches on his rebound attempts? And being outrebounded at the same time?

That's not my problem, my problem is - don't you risk to injure your knees more by taping the ankles. I mean, if I had to choose between an ankle vs. knee injury, I'd choose ankle. So the question is - is this worth it? Do you win more by taping the ankles than what you lose in knee instability?

Weird... it's probably a structural thing in these situations (like having pronated feet and stuff like that) that "promotes" injuries. Otherwise, these people must have a really weak lower leg musculature.

Yeah, Fred Hatfield was exactly what I was thinking about when I wrote this. I don't think anybody knows if this would work or not because nobody tried to high-frequency do it.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Some questions I would like answers to

You could do weighed crunches + supermans and that's it. Supermans are just back hyperextensions from the floor, with someone holding your legs.

« on: April 02, 2011, 07:40:19 pm »What's up with that? You see everybody with their ankles taped several times in the NBA... wtf? I think that puts the knee to an even more disadvantageous position than just wearing high cut shoes alone. If you combine them both, the knee has to really compensate for the lack of ankle mobility.
why do you care?
Because you can learn from this and apply to yourself. Why do you care about commenting about something you don't care?

I wasn't talking about any shortcut, I was talking about a POSSIBLE stimulating thing. Whether that's feasible or not is debatable, hence this topic.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / High frequency "unracking"
« on: April 02, 2011, 07:02:14 pm »
I had this crazy idea come to my mind some few days ago: what if you're a guy who has his own squat rack/barbell to himself? Would unracking a 1RM+ barbell, holding it on your back for say 30 seconds, and racking it back, every day, for a few times per day, do anything?
I mean, it could trick your CNS into thinking you're heavier, just like a weight vest would. Now obviously there are a handful of questions arising (is there enough time under the bar to make this adaptation occur? is it too risky on the spine? etc) but I thought it was an interesting experiment to take if someone is willing to do it.
For example, if your squat 1RM is 300 lbs and you unrack a 350 lbs bar 10 times per day (throughout the day) for 30 s each time, you'd end up with 300s of total "unrack" TUT daily, so that' 2100 s each week of having a 1RM+ barbell on your back. That's 35 minutes of stimulation per week with a heavier barbell than usual. Not to mention the core strength benefits.
Again, it comes down to injury risk vs. reward possibility.
