He's good, but he's not as good as Mayweather, Sergio and Ward

Olympic Weightlifting / Re: Mendes tests positive for HGH
« on: April 17, 2012, 09:24:40 am »I thought HGH was undetectable?
Massive blow for him and American weightlifting.
Undetectable by urine. With blood tests they can find out how much growth hormone you have in your blood, and if it's too high they say you're taking hgh. If someone naturally had ridiculously high levels of growth hormone (not sure if that's possible), they're shit out of luck. It's not like steroids (besides testosterone) where they can detect synthetic hormones.

As I continue to say in every thread it seems
Weight Room Numbers =/= Strength
So many variables to being a good lifter besides strength. Squatting (Powerlifting) is a fucking sport, yet we're using it as the only measurement of strength? Ridiculous
And before anyone misinterprets what I'm saying, the best way to get stronger is to squat. If you get relatively stronger you're going to jump higher. Anyone who has ever gotten stronger (not Avishek or Harvey, who are weak as shit) will tell you that. Both are weak, both can't jump for shit.
It's ironic that Avishek says that stretching increases strength so that "proves his point" when before he said strength doesn't mean anything because Ziani isn't strong.
Where did he say ONLY? He said strength training doesn't increase vertical jump.
So funny the two weakest people who have had 0 results and have failed training are telling people who have gotten results what works.

He said that it isn't the ONLY way in which people get up. Stop assuming that because it works for you everyone else has to train that way to be successful. In Ziani's case, his force exertion isn't based upon strength.

Avishek has to be a troll
lol at you trying to use yourself as anecdotal evidence to "prove" your theories. You look like shit. Me, and many others who follow IIFYM completely embarrass you in terms of mass, leanness, and strength. But that doesn't mean anything.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Seated Calf Raise or Standing Calf Raise
« on: April 07, 2012, 02:01:16 pm »Seated calf raises = soleus being the protagonist of the movement.
Standing calf raises = the calf (gastrocnemius) being the protagonist of the movement. The gastroc is not really active when the knee is bent.
Do you know of any correlation between seated/standing and high/long calves?

/thread
Based on what? Nothing in Raptor's article should help someone come up with that conclusion.
Rip can squat more than Lebron, therefore he has stronger upper legs, meaning calves are everything. derp
I'm not saying they aren't important however.

1. People are retarded. What they tend to use to measure strength means jack shit. You lift to get stronger, not measure your real world strength against others. Your whole article is based on using squat strength as a measure of strength, saying they have equal relative strength.
2. I highly doubt anyone who puts on muscle and stays at the same bodyfat percentage is jumping lower. It may not be as drastic as they expect, but squatting does indeed help with one leg jumping. If they are jumping lower, it's because they got squat obsessed and forgot you need to jump a lot as well.
3. Again, xx increase in squat =/= xx increase in strength
You're completely missing the point and I'm just repeating myself, so that's it.

« on: April 04, 2012, 06:37:26 pm »http://www.adarq.org/forum/strength-power-reactivity-speed-discussion/importance-of-low-body-fat-percentage-when-jumping/msg68456/#msg68456I don't think these hypothetical situations that are always deemed "impossible" are silly or unproductive though. Sure they may never be a case in real life, but that's besides the point.
Is it that hard to just look at the situation for what it represents: the effect of a higher bodyweight on single leg jumping, when the relative strengths are equal? Just accepting the 'impossible' hypothetical situation and analyzing it will shed light on many things like the importance of calf strength as he put in the article. So these "impossible situations" are actually very helpful IMO.
You don't make points based on fairy tale situations.
But anyway, "Relative strengths" for squatting doesn't necessarily mean one is "Relative stronger" for everything else. Look at it this way, Powerlifters backsquat more than Olympic lifters using the powerlifting technique, but Olympic Lifters front squat ATG more than powerlifters. So who is stronger? Stop using lifts as the only indicator, because there's a lot more to it than strength.
I've said this 1000 times
I think you're getting too technical with these situations. Okay yeah I agree, squatting the same does not mean same strength.
But OBVIOUSLY the situation is just trying to say they have equal relative strength in the upper lower body muscles... I feel like you're always looking for flaws in each hypothetical situation (which there always is a thousand of), instead of looking at the point trying to be made.
Equal relative strength in upper lower body but one has higher BW, how does it affect unilateral jumping. Difference is how the calves come into play. Simple as that. You don't have to find flaws and totally disregard the obvious points trying to be made, because it's HYPOTHETICAL but still enlightening
