Article & Video Discussion / Re: One-leg running jump - reactive vs strength jumping
« on: December 01, 2010, 12:04:16 pm »
Yeah it might be. I think those that scrape the ground with their non-jumping foot load the quads more, while those who come with the heel to the butt before the jump load the hips more, because the center of gravity is higher and closer to the hips, and they benefit from a longer lever to jump off.

Yeah and it can work the both ways: you can train in the jump squat say to hit the head on an imaginary rim and at the same time, when you go out there and jump and feel "lazy", think about being powerful and explosive like in a heavy jump squat. These can become intertwined.

Program Review / Re: Squat flex and jump manual or the gym?

I think if you didn't have any access to a gym at all, or any kind of training equipment, your time would be much well spent on sprints and depth jumps than on SquatFlex.

I'm willing to bet that if you take two identical guys and train one with the squatflex and one with sprints and depth jumps, the plyo guy would win in this competition. And it would be for no money and safer at the same time. Sprints will actually build "traditional" strength if you ask me and the adaptations would be much more specific to the jumping.

Well to tell you the truth... because I'm afraid of cardio. Like genuinely. Two of my family "men" have died after effort... one came with his bike home and had a vein pop out in his head at 25 years old or so after effort. Another one died after he got home on his bike, was kind of tired, and the elevator was broken so he used the stairs to get home (at the 8th floor of the building) and his heart stopped and started vomiting and coughing up blood and pink foam (sign of pulmonary edema) - and he died basically of a heart attack after effort.

So I keep that in mind and whenever my heart rate goes up at pretty much anything, these things keep coming up in my head and I get scared and my heart rate goes even higher and my fatigue increases a lot in just a few seconds. Then I'm done.

Well since I look like a normal untrained thin guy with both training and nutrition up to par, I guess the only way to get ripped and powerful (while still being a nerdy guy) is to get into roids! I can see it clearly now, it's like a vision! :pissed:

I can only imagine the skinny-fatness of me when I get older.

How about hanging yourself?

It's much cheaper and it elongates the spine, making you taller. Cool stuff!

It's interesting if these are the only limiting factors or is the neurochemistry worse with age (and with age I mean 30 to 40 years old) "much" worse than in the 20-30s (by that I mean the speed of the signal and it's intensity towards the muscles).

Do you have the same "rage" and "ferociousness" when jumping (if you weren't limited by the bones/joints etc) as in the past? The same "rate coding" if you will?

Delonte could do it too! And it's cheaper

West was carrying two handguns, a shotgun, the knife and more than 100 shotgun rounds.

Delonte has other endeavors, like LeBron's mom.

Why? I mean, you had bad form on squats and all that when you were younger or to what do you attribute that? It could help younger people learn from you and prevent the same from happening to them.

I have about 62-64...

From what I know of, the heart of all the animals has pretty much the same limit in terms of lifetime and beats. The only difference is that for some animals it beats faster, for others, slower.
