Agree with this.... Especially when you consider you are a low-bar squatter... You have a strong back and don't seem to be using it as much as you can on your jump. You bend super low and roll onto your toes.... Not to get into low-bar/high-bar squatting.... But your SVJ is pretty similar to KF style... which will benefit more from HB squat, get those hamstrings, low back and glutes active rather than just jumping with your quads.
old SVJ is much more hip/back dominated, much higher descent. not sure what brought about the change but i generally seem to get higher with the lower descent/more quad involvement. not gonna change my squatting style. i'm just not.

MENTAL STATE: fine
- warm up
- SVJ x 5
- depth jump @12" x 3,3
- squat 350 x 1; 360 x F
- superset x 3
-- dip x 10
-- ab wheel roll out standing x 10,10; kneeling x 10
-- pull up x 7
- stretch
wack, abbreviated. some vids coming. this was to try out the new place and it's different. the bball court was in use so i could not use it.

suzanne hartwig-gary shitting on the squats of almost everyone in this forum, myself included, at 52kg.
3.3xbw.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTnpMuDIqHc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTnpMuDIqHc</a>
this would be the equivalent of me squatting 580, and that's not even taking into account that i'm a man and she's a woman.

That's Blenderate. Tigerak is some tiny asian powerlifter who is pretty strong and friends with Yang.
btw i just watched that vid. had seen it before, the gym is in rockville, near where my gf's parents live. too far to work out at regularly. the woman who co-owns it is a BEAST, world record holder in the squat for her weight class.

don't sass me, vag.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right hamstring and hip, but went away with warm up
MENTAL STATE: good but a little stressed
- warm up
- SL bound x 10,10,10
- sprint 55? x 5
7.2, 7.2, 7.5 (stupid bitch walked RIGHT across the lane as i was sprinting, momentarily slowed and yelled, this time doesn't count), 7.3, 7.3
- tempo 200m x 3
normal track had a game going on so it was closed. secondary track is marked "55" on the side but i don't know if that's 55m or 55 yards. i kind of hope it's meters because these sprints felt fast-ish, i was getting a little float, and extrapolating the times using USTFCCCA conversion tables that's 7.7-7.9 range, which would be better than usual. if it's yards, FML. the 200s for tempo were ~35s. ran out of time because i had to come home and interview yet another person to move into my place.

« on: September 26, 2013, 11:37:33 am »Maybe you could do smolov or something for squatting. It'd be great to get a higher squat but if you put on weight you're going to negate the advantages of having a higher squat- as far as for sprinting.
Edit- It'll be sweet seeing a vid of you guys training together. I wish I could train with people from here.
i'm not talking about racing up to see how fast i can catch KF at 210. i'm talking about a conscientious bulk where i actually focus on diet and muscle/strength gain as a goal. i feel like if i gained 10 pounds while doing something like smolov, i'd be squatting four plates in no time. 405/185 is a better ratio than 360/175. this is not an immediate plan, just something i've been ruminating on. it's actually holding me back from switching gyms, because as unused as the squat rack seems to be at the JCC, smolov or some other squat-centric routine is a dick move when there's only one rack. 10x3 takes a long time. OTOH, basketball court.

« on: September 26, 2013, 09:38:11 am »How much correlation are you seeing to how you jump on a certain day and your sprint times? Your squat has consistently improved; your also seemingly getting better at bounding but having more variable performance. Good to see the focus on sprints, I think the improvement to your vertical is long term but will help. By the way, no more correcting your to you're for me:

Lol. Look forward to training with you, we will have to get a session semi filmed so others can get sense of the workout.
my squat hasn't really improved, or if it has, not by much. i hit 315 for three sets of five a year and a half ago and have spun my wheels for the most part since then. this is also part of why i always have the nagging desire at the back of my brain to just really focus on squatting+gaining weight for a while.
but to answer your question, the correlation is near-perfect. if i sprint well, i jump well. if i don't sprint well, i jump poorly. if i feel springy, i feel springy. on rare occasions i can warm up past feeling sluggish but usually i know right away whether i'm going to be fast/jump high on a given day. i'll be sure to bring my camera and tripod when we work out so everyone can see just how slow i am over 60m (it's impossible to film by myself the whole thing at the track where i run).
long live proper orthography.
