Yes but his bounding is crazy. It really is. I don't know about 48, but I do believe he was jumping 40+ off one leg in his prime.

Definitely the best post I have read in years. I've ignored it at first because it was too long, but I'm now glad that I've read it, very very interesting.

If you think about it, a person getting old and keeping the same amount of muscle will get less and less athletic. Why is that happening if that person has the same muscles and strength? Possibly strength goes down as well despite that person having the same amount of muscles and bodyfat. In that case, I think the only logical explanation, besides joint pain when trying to be athletic, jump run etc, is the neurotransmitter speed/hormonal stuff is weaker in the body. That has to be it. It's a change inside the body in itself that makes that person less athletic. There are obviously so many factors though.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Bodyweight management in the next few months
« on: November 23, 2010, 12:54:43 pm »
Oh, I was also wondering this: if you eat a caloric deficit, yet a great amount of protein, can't it happen that you lose weight and build muscle at the same time? So body re-composition is happening? I mean, it would make sense, probably the weights on the bar would not increase but if they stay the same and the bodyweight is going down, then the relative strength increases so that's a gain in itself I guess.

Well yeah, I'm kinda currently doing that right now... my protein shake is 90% protein after the workout, as I figured I already eat too much carbs anyway so there's no reason to supplement with a protein shake that has a high % of carbs in it as well.
What do you think about the cardio thing? What should I be doing in terms of cardio and when? I really have no experience at all with cardio. Right now, 84 kg is a lot of weight. If I could somehow move towards 72-75 kg as my weight (my bone structure suggest, in my mind, this would be a great weight to be at) that would be tremendous... haven't been lower than 80 kg in 5-6 years.
Regarding what I said in the other thread, about one day of full squats and another of partials, one issue I currently worry about is:
1) I prefer to do the partials with a high bar position. This instead runs the risk of irritating my right knee. At the same time, I don't really want to do low bar with a heavy weight yet as that wrecks my wrists, elbows and shoulders...
AND
2) There's this thing that if I go with a heavy weight past a certain point, I might not be able to come back. Say I plan to do a 1/4 squat with 150 but I can't stop the weight quickly and high enough in one of my reps and I fail the rep... I don't want that to happen, not safe at all. I've usually seen people that do partials use a box under their butt to stop the momentum/for safety, but I don't have such a thing.
Thanks for the answers!

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Bodyweight management in the next few months
« on: November 23, 2010, 10:02:21 am »
I am currently training for strength right now with a bodyweight of ~84 kg at 1.82m height. Bodyfat is ~15-16% I guess. My plan is not to worry about my bodyfat right now and keep on eating a lot etc to increase strength, and then shed the fat off in the spring, so I'm in optimum shape in the summer. What do you think about this?
I currently don't do any type of cardio and never did, other than the occasional 5 on 5 basketball and 3 on 3 stuff. I actually hate cardio from all my heart (almost to a literal level, I always feel like my heart will pop out and I will die during my running).
Is this plan a good idea? I could do some KB swings after my workouts but I'm basically dead after the workouts so I'm not sure if it's wise to put the heart to more work, more so cardio, after a heavy weight lifting effort. And also burn calories that I have problems getting in the first place.

« on: November 23, 2010, 05:58:08 am »? What doesn't have to work as harder? The lateralis?
vmo doesn't.. tychver is probably saying, patella-femoral stability isn't as important with bilateral squatting, so, vmo being the main patella stabilizer, doesn't have to work as hard.

So... what does this have to do with my low bar squatting?
