Ridiculous. I like how you pull your legs in when you drop the bar deadlifting

I think you can do deadlifts with bar drops at the top while in-season, since they're going to be 100% concentric and will not create too much soreness. And since you're in-season you're going to have a lot of plyo so it's going to be plyo+deads.

Ridiculous. Wonder if she'll try double arm swings for the bounds.
Also, she could probably have that heel run a bit more towards the butt and don't let it hang back when she sprints. You know, "imagine it's a glass wall at your back" kind of thing. At least, this is what I see in terms of possible improvements.

Kelly, what do you think about my DJs + deadlifts idea? DJs should take care of the quads+calves and deadlifts of the posterior chain. And yes, I'm aware of TUT and CNS differences between this and using squats, but still...
Obviously it depends on what you're aiming for (strength, mass etc), although these things depend on other factors as well (food, rest times etc) but as a general idea, do you think depth jumps + deadlifts can be a valid replacement for squats?

So 335 was your true 1RM or was it lower? If so, what was the gain on Smolov?
By the way - is this what you did? http://joeskopec.com/smolov.html

It's perfect form alright. More in the tank as well, it looked way too easy.
And your voice will always sound different recorded than in your head.

« on: February 19, 2011, 06:55:53 pm »Btw, if youre squatting deep enough, it is highly likely that your deadlift will go up along with your squat, if you only deadlift it is not as likely that your squat will go up in the same fashion.
Definitely, since a "good" deadlift is like a 1/4 squat, so it doesn't have as much (if any) carryover to a full squat as a full squat does to a deadlift.
The point is - could a deadlift and deadlift alone be used to gain muscle/strength (forget about jump specificity and all that, just pure muscle)?
Because, if it can, then you can just deadlift to gain muscle and do plyos to tweak and tune that muscle to act explosively.
For example, if you were to do depth jumps followed by deadlifts, then you'd get quad and calf stimuli by depth jumping, and also much more specificity than a squat for jumps, and deadlifts for the posterior chain as muscle growth stimuli.

It's simple: imagine your torso was 5 meters tall. Would a barbell BSS be easy?
The further away from your center of gravity or the point of control is a weight, the harder it is to control.
