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.

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.

I have invisible VMO on my right leg. It's visible when the leg is flexed, but when it's extended you can barely see it. So much vastus lateralis.

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?

"Absent"?

What, some people don't have a muscle?

You probably won't find them pretty much anywhere... I have them on my HDD but they are long seminars... djoe has them too (he send them to me), adarqui has them (I send them to him) and I think Lance has them too. I don't know if I can be bothered to upload them AGAIN.

The idea is this:

Acute relieving syndrome: Happens during de-loads when you'd usually measure things to see improvements. Pfaff has actually found out the performance decreased during deloads so he was doing his measurements a week or so into the training plan (into full training and not into deload weeks).

Chronic load syndrome: It's when you do the same thing over and over and over and you stop responding to stimuli, so you need to change that stimuli.

There are certain waves of "training intensities" that happen during a year or season or whatever. It's how you manipulate that that creates results and it obviously is individual.

I don't doubt the zoom waffle racers at all. I have been training in a pair of Adidas Fluid trainers. Probably not quite as light as the Waffle racers  but pretty light, very comfortable, nice flexible soul - basically awesome.

They look good with jeans too.

What about naked? I really like women in high heels when naked though.

Oh yeah Raptor. I look good in them naked too. But I look great in anything naked due to my extreme buffness and super tight abs. 

I also like women in high heels and no clothes. It is a strange combination really to like. I mean if you are a women and yo uhave taken off your clothes, presumably to ahve sex, then surely it isn;t that big a deal to whip off the shoes too! Oh well, that is pornorgraphy messing with our modern male psyche for you.

Yeah but I don't want her to whip the shoes off too. I like to keep them there. Makes her butt more rounded and anteriorly rotated, which looks much better. Plus it elongates the legs.
