ha ha ha

i was just imagining meeting a girl with this in mind.

Me:  Ok so could you just turn around
Girl: um ok...
Me:  nice, nice...oh :(
Girl: what  ???
Me:  its just your calves
Girl: huh?
Me:  they are too low and large
Girl:  (starts thinking to herself: pervert...)
Me:  Yeah I would prefer someone with higher cut calves but it was nice meeting you...  Its a shame really, you were preselected for this date by your ass-- it really indicates an excellent ability to recruit the gluteus maximus but other parts of you were a letdown. Bye

Girl: :pissed:

Sticky thread/post material.

Interesting. I wonder how would your one-leg jump react to you losing some fat, if you have any to dispose of quickly and without muscle loss in the first place.

0:30 just doesn't make any sense. It's silly, but I just can't watch this without crying, literally. And no, it's not a matter of her being from Romania or whatever, it's just that I feel put face to face with perfection that's so impressive is overwhelming.

Cool thread I'd never noticed this before. I might consider incorporating a few weeks of progressive calf raises and some direct hip hyperextension work (isolated glute work) in the form of partner assisted or manual reverse hyperextensions, barbell hip thrusts, or sled marches.  You will notice a near immediate difference in the extension on your sprints with that.

Re: the calf work, have you ever had shin splints? Occassionally on some of your jumps your feet look to be under some stress.  The calf work would probably help you stay smoother absorbing force (see some of Steffan Holms videos and notice how quiet he is when landing on all his drills).  You definitely have the structure there to work with and a good nervous system.

Thanks for the comment. I do already do these exercices on a weekly basis. The reason for why the landings might seem to be a little ''un smooth'' is probably because I'm not used to my new spikes yet. It's kinda different doing them in long jump spikes vs triple jump spikes. When it comes to sprinting, I could definitely work on my technique ;)

What's the difference? I've always used sprint spikes, or at least I think so.

They look the same to me I think damienz's butts just bigger.

Who's sexier?

I've always said nr 18 is true for a simple reason: if you watch wildlife, a male without a partner will always be aggressive and nervous - he just HAS to have a mate (or simply put - fuck someone/something). It's just the way life ensures it's cyclic nature/perpetuation. So basically, the longer you go without sex the more frustrated you are and the more rate coding benefits/CNS power you get.

It's like an energy boost. Your body/brain/whatever "needs" to have/find a partner and is willing to fight with another male to do it, so you become more aggressive. It definitely depends from person to person, some people will probably have to wait a longer period until they get into that teritorry.

basically the same height, eh? damien sits back so much more.

+1

Much better hip load for Damienz, but it was expected from Adarqui to be extremely quad dominant on these.

I just feel like if adarqui would learn to gather his hips better, plant forwards more etc and make that adjustment, he'd jump so much higher... (I'm sure he's going to disagree)

Well yeah, I consider full squats a GPP exercise and half squats more of a SPP exercise, since they are more specific to jumping and you can play with the load a bit.

Well, squidward was so dissapointed with my squats so... he's the ethalon I'm comparing against.
