Beyond any of that, half squatting (slightly above parallel, NOT PARALLEL) is 100x more specific to vert/power based athletic movements than is deep squatting.

Isn't weighttraining always just GPP for the non weightlifter-athlete?
At the end it shouldn't matter how the strength was obtained...

so then why would it matter if strength is obtained in a deep squat vs half squat?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: High cut calves
« on: February 28, 2011, 12:36:48 am »
what  are some achilles tendon to calf length ratios for some elite jumpers and sprinters? what ratio would be considered "high cut" calves?

Would high cut calves count as the calf being less than the tendon length?

WTF? :ninja:

Who said I am? The fat thing will resolve by eliminating sugars and going into sprints etc, and right now I'm downloading some Pavel Tsatsouline "Loaded Stretching" video... will see what it does.

But my flexibility is decent enough. There are some areas that are really lacking but... (like the hip flexors/abs and upperbody stuff, Kelly said something about them but I don't remember exactly what was the culprit - I always hurt in my abs when I jump off two feet, on my right side)

I just hate mobility work, stretching I hate it from the bottom of my heart. It's like I'm a retarded women in a pink compression short doing aerobics and counting 1-2-3-4 while stretching. I mean wtf? I hate it. I HATE IT.

Brr... just thinking about it makes me shiver.

And even if I wasn't hating that, I can't think of a good mobility routine/I find that useless. So...

I don't know, it just blows my mind (the one that's still in there). I mean, the contrast between the "killing machines" and the way they behave there just brings tears to my eyes (in a literal way). It's just... "deep" phylosophically if you will.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Kingfish

I like the squats. You should progress towards depth jumps though to achieve full triple extension/take off.

6281
I assume you practiced your two-footed jump a lot during that period.

6282
Yeah I know, the original plan is strength train (5-8 reps) for a few months (already past that period), then go with MSEM and power training, then go with pretty much all out plyo in preparation to summer. That is sprint based, with bounds and depth jumps as accessory exercises.

I've trained way too long with 5-8 reps, I want to go with some power training, I haven't ever done that.

I think running from the cops is level 7 training, so that explains their athleticism.

Problem solved.

That's because the guys who smoke it are "thugs" and guys with "criminal" nervous systems... you know, people that don't really pay much attention to study and are just "nervous" and "rebel". You're probably going to say I'm not making much sense but if you think more, you'll see that I am.

They smoke it because their personality and mindset in life is about being "aggressive" and "defiant". So it's their nature that gives them hops, not the marijuana.
