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.

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

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

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.

Sorry, but I just need to put this in this thread:

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.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Return to volume/strength work or continue with MSEM/power?
« on: February 27, 2011, 03:19:57 pm »
It's snowy outside and I have already started doing MSEM/jumpsquats/depth jumps in terms of training. Now my idea was to do strength work during the winter, then transition into power during spring and play during summer, reaping the benefits of my winter/spring work during games (streetball).

Now I'm in a dilemma: should I return to volume work to increase muscle size/strength, or should I continue with MSEM/power, hopefully tweaking my gained strength to be more explosive. I've never really done explosive work for too much time... and my plan is to finally do it. I will do it anyway, but maybe I should get with a 3x5 on the squats twice per week going for a little more muscle size... not sure.

What do you think?

That jump has to be over forty, no doubting that.
