Well, hard work pays off. Despite shedding like 100 lbs of my bodyfat and squatting relatively 5 times more, I jump pretty much the same.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word (better version than the last one, I think). I like how I make Elton John's voice at the 2nd refren:

I need to sing a few more songs from Shania Twain

But you don't need an Olympic bar to do sets of 50 reps, don't you?

Yeah I know what you're saying, I'm going to a very close by gym as well in the winter that is, it's like 5 minutes away. Costs a lot though (~40$ per month, my monthly salary being ~350) but whatever.

Get in a gym with a proper bar and see the difference.
I for one can't squat at all in a fixed bar squat kind of environment...

Well you better believe it makes such a dramatic difference...
If you think about it, this takes away so much from your leg strength potential because you can't use a weight that's actually challenging for your leg strength. You use a weight that's challenging for your form, while the legs can cope with that weight with no problems whatsoever.
That's a lot of lost training stimulus.

I was about to bet that. Does it have rotating ends? Or what you mean by "steady thickness" is that it doesn't?
If if doesn't it makes such a big difference when squatting because it creates forces on the back that weren't supposed to be there (because the ends don't rotate to take those forces away).

« on: October 05, 2010, 02:56:27 am »Jacob is actually a really nice person and quite knowledgable about Jump Training. He spends a lot of time helping his customers and making sure they get results. If you were to follow his program I am sure you would do ok.
I agree. You can watch his one-leg jumping technique video, it's on youtube. It's pretty good stuff and it's correct stuff.

Yeah I guess you're right. It's even more on your part, knowing how I'm a genius and a playboy and all that stuff.
I'm sure you wouldn't laugh if I sang "Lady Marmelade", would you?

You tell me...
I'm so much into writing in my blog (personal one) about life in general... but I'm so lazy. I come up with great ideas but I'm like "nah... I don't really want to write right now"

Yeah but maybe adding links to stuff like "here's a strength template" or "here's the typical hypertrophy workout" etc would be great.
