Good god,
i was away for a week, been on vacation ... without internet access.
Came back and see all these replies which I really appreciate.
This thing about me, I am always wanting to learn and constructive feedback is always welcome.
I did read every single post on here, and try to understand what everyone is trying to tell me.
Here is some quick info about myself however:
FAT: 19% Body fat radio, Adarq is right. but is Hard to cut it down being a office boy...
Strength: I currently hold the local city squat record with 83kg squatting 210kg (geared up); I am not sure why people keep saying my strength is not enough. The low 300lbs squat is because I am trying to train my CNS, and every time I squat, i try to go up explosively. And like Adarq said, if I start to Grind up, I stop. and it is at 300lbs, I feel like i am slowing down so I stop. Are u guys telling me to preform explosive lift with 300lbs on my back as a goal? (if that is what I need, i will set that as a goal)
Technique:No doubt my technique is bad. I had been doing Depth jump and Hang clean alternatively prior to my squat in every lift session. So pretty much all the major lift is explosive related in the gym. In fact, there are time where i feel like i am using my TENDON in my depth jump every now and then (it is rare, but i can definitely feel it when i used it.)
However, I am not able to use any tendon(reactive power) in my jump, i feel like i can depth jump higher then my so call running jump. Is clearly i am not able to accelerate, stop on a penny, redirect my hori force upward, can not control without technique. I will try to fix it with more jump session like pal point out here.
Routine Issue:Adarq said i am always changing my routine which i do not agree to certain extend. I follow a routine usually for at least 3 months if i am not mistaken. May be that is consider a short period? correct me if i am wrong please.
New to me is the following; I had been talking to a few bud on IRC chat room from adarq site who suggested a few exercises to add in my routine.
Beside the usual: Hang clean/Depth Jump, Squat, Reverse Hyper
Added: Calf Raise, and Leg Curl. (i was told that I might be good at squat, but my other muscle is relative weak... which might limit my overall performance...)
In short, Like most of u had said, as my jump technique is shxt, just head out and jump more! 1x a week is not enough!!!
Extra, I came across this link from some bud on utube, spent a good 15 min on it and many of his stuff is new to me. He suggest jumping like a 100m Runner, with Tapping Feet, Chest Up high, and not much of a knee bend. (his two step approach train seems interesting also....)
I am not sure how effective it is, I will probably give this a try in my next jump session.
