ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Every day squatting
« on: December 14, 2010, 07:05:21 am »
Thanks guys!
I think one advantage of me vs you Andrew is that I'm heavier and probably have more "meat" on my back and shoulders. Not sure about strength but that should protect me a bit better, I don't know.
Any link to that high frequency experiment?
Oh and Lance, what do you mean by warm-up? Just squat warmup or general warm-up (like riding a stationary bike etc before the sets).
Because if I'm to warmup using squats, say 50x10, 60x10, 80x8 and then do my work sets, that would fatigue me immensly. Probably even with lower weights. And to do that every day... oh boy!

What do you mean strong plant, no jump? Decelerating and doing what? Planting and doing what?

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Every day squatting
« on: December 13, 2010, 04:42:17 pm »
What do you think about every day squatting for a period. My plan is to get into that in February. Basically, squat a total of 8-10 reps per day with a very heavy weight. Say 90-95%. One rep and then pause for one minute, another rep etc until I finish all my "1 rep sets" so to speak. That should make me "learn" to generate great strength voluntarily.
I want to do this about 5 days per week (Monday - Friday) with 2 days of rest. What do you thino about this? Anybody done anything similar?

If you deadlift and then release the bar back on the floor at the top of the movement that's purely concentric.

I wonder if this method can make the deadlift more posterior chain oriented. For a guy like me who "wants" to use his quads at everything, maybe doing this could make me shift more into posterior chain work during deadlifts.

Chin over the rim if you pause at the right time

I wonder what would happen if someone would do downhill jumps. Like a SLIGHTLY declined slope where you run and jump. I think I've seen something like this, obviously there is more overload occuring so it's a mini depth jump, I'm talking unilateral jumps here or bounds.
Like, consecutive one-leg bounds on the same leg going downwards.

Interesting, but I feel like the muscles are getting more stimulated in the eccentric portion that the CNS... so...

It's interesting you mention reactive stuff as working the VMO, since whenever I play 5 on 5 basketball my VMO is very sore afterwards. I think it's because of all these decelerations that occur when playing 5 on 5 vs the halfcourt 3 on 3 that I usually play outside.

Well I have this exercise where you sprint for say 20 meters and immediately jump over a low rope with the amortization phase occurring at very high speeds. It's doesn't matter how high you jump but you should increase the rope height as you get better. High and quick, that's the thing.

damn.. i'd say i'm mostly vmo, pic might not do it justice i dno, but my vmo definitely outshines my VL by a big margin..i'm the complete opposite of u.
Well that explains why you're jumping so much higher than me off two feet. Any ideas on how to get that VMO bigger? Maybe using a more narrower stance in the squats? How about other exercises?
