Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: The Ultimate Frisbee Athlete

Yeah, that's the basic idea.
But in a standing vert, a long Achilles is better. Anyway, no need to talk about it because you can't change what you have, so... might as well continue working on that PC strength.

Well, that's what you always hear about the Achilles.
Yeah, it's impossible for me to initiate a high bar squat from the hips, I would just lose position.
A longer Achilles usually translates into more knee bend in the jump. You should watch that Donald Thomas vs Stefan Holm video.

Is that a high or a low bar position? I can't tell from the video. It does look like the hips are really involved, though.
Actually a short Achilles is better for one leg jumping, because it takes less to load and snaps quicker => better ground contact times. A long Achilles is great for standing vertical jumps.

+ a depth jump from a teammate's back and a free throw line dunk for long jump and a high jump over a center

I've felt like 2:03 several times, but I tried to stay calm and pretend nothing is happening... I've exited the gym a few times to take some cold air.

I have one too, I remember when I used to dunk with it, and felt so heavy, and was actually lighter than I am now. I think back then with a weight vest I was at ~92 kg, and now I'm ~95.

Reminds me of Fallout 3 for some reason.
