Still.. is it healthy/unproblematic over the long run when your upperback collapses that much? I don't know, but I hardly doubt it... Again I have a lot of respect for that achievement so I'm just trying to help here.

it doesn't collapse, you are seeing things.

yeah it's the 150s test. i ran the 150s in about 25s -- remember how slow i am -- but my recoveries were shortish, maybe 15-20s each. i did walk them.

in re: the other tests:

1. best broad jump = ~9'3-9'6, somewhere in there
2. 30m fly = ???
3. SL bound = ??? because i don't know how many bounds, also, is this with a lead-in or from a SL standing start?
4. how far i can run in 45s = ??? but might be fun to find out. maybe next week.
5. event-specific tests = i still can't jump that good

4:41. i thought i'd fucked up the distance somehow but i re-checked on google maps and nope, i did it right. i'd trade my time for vag's in a heartbeat if it meant i could jump 8" higher.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a very little bit
ACHES/INJURIES: hips tight
MENTAL STATE: CNS firing a bit slow

- warm up

- SL bounds x 5,5

- broad jump x 4

- DL bound x 4,4,4
first two sets above average, probably 12.5 yards

- sprint 40y x 3; 60m x 1
shit, just awful. need to run with avishek again because there's a chance i'm really screwing myself on timing. or maybe i'm just slower than i hope. not even posting the times i got.

- DSVJ, DLRVJ, SLRVJ x a bunch
went for 15 minutes or so. not good. did some of T0ddday's suggestion of running faster than i can manage and planting without worrying about how high i get.

- T0ddday test
4:41 and this wasn't even that hard. so either T0ddday's people are in horrible shape or i'm in better shape than i think.

- stretch

all that shit is determined by your physiology -- lower leg/upper leg/torso lengths. don't judge your technique against what you see oly-level weight lifters doing. it's not like they're consistent with each other. there are many ways to achieve the same thing, which is a leg-driven squat.

the weightlifting shoes will change your mechanics more than you think. take these photos again once they arrive. also be humble with weight once you get 'em; i fucked up my hip after my shoes came because i thought i could just keep going with the weight i was using before. better to back off briefly and work quickly back up. you won't lose strength but it'll help you adapt to the new movement safely.

that's actually a good idea. i can perfectly maintain form all the way down, it's on the concentric where it gets HARD. mmkay gonna do that. thanks raptor.

see now those GHRs would not pass the alexv test. hips first, torso follows.

Yeah but here's the thing - GHR = knee flexing exercise. Leg curl = knee flexing exercise. RDL = hip extensor exercise.

That's what I meant.

ah, touche, touche. that is a good point. i guess that was joe's point, too.  :uhhhfacepalm:

hadn't thought about adding leg curls of any kind. i could throw in some non-strict GHRs to get the volume work in but i'd rather focus on quality on those. once i can rep out more than a few i'll be a beast.

EDIT: someone downvote that post i made with DB RDLs in huge type.

120 pounds is low. i just started doing them so i'm trying to avoid the major hamstring DOMS. no harder than barbell, i'm using DBs because i don't feel like loading a barbell again at that point in my workout. my gym goes up to 120s, which is double what i'm doing now. once i pass that i'll start with the BB.

Then do leg curls after them to get that volume up.

- DB RDL 60s x 10,10

Just two reps on GHR? You need a much higher volume.

you must have missed or forgotten about the discussion with alexv about form on GHRs. i can pump out GHRs if i allow myself to break at the hips, but i'm trying to do them with perfect alignment.
