That's not healthy sleep though.

Healthy sleep has to do with melatonin as far as I'm aware, and that hormone appears into your blood stream when the natural sunlight slowly fades away (it's getting dark etc). That's the proper moment to sleep (when all the animals go to "bed" as well).

If you sleep some other way that's against the natural construction of the human body in my opinion so I believe that's sub optimal. Sure, one my quote studies but I'd still feel the same.

And did you have soem hamstrings injury a cpl years back? Coz i thought you were jumping high and squating big.

Well, since Dr. House has that crippled leg, Adarqui figured it's not cool not to have a leg injury of his own so he chose a hamstring one! Go figure!

All good, but you need to get quicker up there.

Have you tried ISO stim yet?

Yeah it will be interesting on how you react to an eventual deload... it could work either as a gain or actually a loss in power (according to Pfaff).

Any jumping fluctuations lately (inches gain or lost)?

Very very quick jump

Raptor, about the hip bend, I think it is in part due to genetics/limb structure. If you lok at the way cskin walks, his legs are slightly pointed outwards, meaning he has a glute preference. People with straighter legs, or legs pointed inwards may use the deeper quad bend more. Examples include Guy dupuy, maybe adarqui, AUT, myself.. it's hard for me to throw my legs out to much actually

I'm not sure about that. I still think Adarqui could get higher with more posterior chain, he's currently destroying his knees, (they look to be under extreme tension when he jumps judging by their position) in my opinion because of this high dependence on quads and their usage in jumping. To me, that's sub-optimal biomechanics. I know I'm on an island while saying what I'm about to say, but I don't really think it depends that much on the individual.

Yes, it does depend on the individual, but I think more in strength than in structure. I think in terms in structure the body will alter the jump stance (feet wider apart) and stuff like that, rather than muscle involvement. Muscle involvement depends on strength IMO.

i'm destroying my knees folks, because i'm not a "p-cain jumper"

 :uhhhfacepalm:


Damn bro, sorry to hear that.  Ice that shit and do some glute bridges..... NOWWWWW!  ;)

ya, i mean my knees feel great, but apparently they are being destroyed.

thanks for the heads up raptor.


Hey no problem, that's why I'm here for: to protect you against yourself. :ibjumping:

12 beats, 10 seconds.
so 60/min.

Iso extension stim before squatting might help the glutes come alive I guess...

I think lower gravity centers occur in posterior chain dominant jumpers, because that elongates the last step plant (feet thrown forward a lot).

interesting article...
I'm a slight anterior tilt, but if I flex glutes+abs, I get neutral

WTF? :ninja:

Yeah I know, increased awareness and control.

It also depends on muscle size. If you don't have it, there's nothing to control in the first place.

Do you think hip thrusts can possibly have a good effect into making you more aware (or aware again) of the glutes?

Yeah that's exactly right. I mean, I felt like toasted after 50 minutes of warming up, but even so, I was jumping extremely high. I felt like I won't jump 12 inches and was in fact getting up very high.

Maybe with better conditioning I would've jumped even higher since I wouldn't have been so tired.
