yeah you're absolutely right. i've started to incorporate band-assisted dorsiflexion into my warm up but it's something i need to be working on all the time. long history of ankle injuries.

fwiw i'd consider that a full squat but depth is greater on paused reps. knee flexion probably greater, too. will try to get vid today.

Been outa town for so long... great to see these videos. Ankle mobility can be really hard to work on. You can increase dorsiflexion in your structures in the back of your leg are tight... but if the restriction is in the front (as it may be if you have oft-injured ankles) there seems to not be much you can do besides get a raised heel... KFs dorsiflexion might be his greatest asset to his functional squatting. A reason why a lot of athletes simply don't benefit from such a low squat.

interesting and kind of depressing point. would be nice to do a barefoot pistol. i have strength enough for days but i can't flex my ankle enough to keep from pitching backward. regardless, will continue to work on dorsiflexion while squatting in my oly shoes.

Do you have a GHR machine?

yep. vid ~~coming~~.

ETA vid of GHR and paused squats. notes:

i do not fire my glutes properly on GHRs. on the set after this one (it was the second of three) i focused on squeezing my glutes and extending my hips at the top and trying to maintain that all the way through. made the movement harder and i still lost some glute contraction at the bottom; transferred to hamstrings.

paused squats were just bad yesterday, this should not have been as ugly as it was. will stick with 285 next time but i'll be mad if it's not better than this. interesting to note that these are really full depth sans back rounding -- they don't look as deep as they feel. guess that's where the dorsiflexion comes in. you can see from old vids and the screen cap i posted that i don't usually lean this far forward. i came way up on my toes on the third rep. will do better next time.

WEIGHT: 175
SORENESS: triceps
ACHES/INJURIES: lot of quad tightness
MENTAL STATE: calm, focused

- warm up

- superset x 2
-- jump squat 20 x 3
-- SVJ x 4
SVJs were pretty bad, 24.5-25, except one solidly at 26 when i got the arm swing right

- paused squat 285 x 5,4
could have gotten five on second set but would have been grindy. lame. felt the quad tightness on these.

- GHR x 5,5,5
focusing on form per alex v video. will post vid in a bit

- circuit x 3
-- pull up x 8
-- paused calf raise 415 x 10
-- DB OHP 100 x 6

- windshield wipers x 4,4,3
i tried these the other day and they were fun. not sure why but i was swinging forward and back today and that made it harder.

- stretch

lebron is 6'9 in shoes. his head is roughly an inch over the rim there. that's a 39 inch jump in the middle of a game. so, so nasty.

also, i just came across this pic. look at kobe.

if he did leg day he wouldn't be able to fit into the skinny jeans that are the essence of wolverine's character.

It is rumored that Ivan Ukhov can pistol squat with 150 kg on his back. If anybody finds a video...

that doesn't even make sense. how would he not pitch backward? i have an easier time imagining a 150kg pistol with the bar in the front squat position. unless he has insane ankle mobility, i guess.
