Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: DUNK finally- if not now when
« on: December 02, 2015, 09:20:28 am »
My dad had a chance to remain in Switzerland when I was 1 year old, demanding political asylum. He had to come back because my mom didn't have a job and we don't have relatives... so... he had to gave up on that (if he were to stay, we would've had to live ~1 year or so on our own).
And because he did that a bunch of stuff unfolded later on... anyway, I would love to live there.

My grip gives at around 100 kg too, in the RDLs. It's weird that I can grip a ~185kg bar enough to make 1 deadlift... I guess it's an endurance thing in my case.
Great bench press progression, by the way. I did 70x6 as a PR, you did 3 sets of 5 with 70 and then had 17 reps with 55 kg... definitely I would say MUCH stronger than me. I did 70x6 and then my first set of 45x10 felt really hard to do lol.

Always been a fan of rockets and space travel.
So anyway, let's talk about the inflaton quantum field in the early universe.

43? Really?
I remember when Russian coaches used to monitor their athletes' heart rates in the morning and see the difference vs. their usual HR when rested. If their HR would be over a certain threshold they would be overtrained and they would skip that day and use it to rest them.
I have a bunch of interesting ideas gathered over the books I read... had to cut short their display on my website because of personal problems... maybe I should look into writing them in a post these days.

Well I prefer a standing VJ as well, I can gather myself better, I get almost no reactive bonus from loading up my "knees" (quad tendons), but to transform taking a step to jump or do a pivot-rotate jump into a "injury risk" is way too much. Com'on now.

Everything we do is geared for fast twitch muscle fibers. They really are the only fibers that respond to hypertrophy, really. Otherwise marathon runners on caloric surplus would "develop slow twitch fibers" and get big, bulgy slow twitch physiques.

Com'on. Why not? It's not like if you'll do a reactive jump you'll break down and be done with 10000 injuries. It would be interesting to know what your actual MAX vert is, with the added reactive bonus (if any).

How much would you gain off an one-step plant or with a rotate-on-the-planted-leg and jump?

Yes but the adaptability of the hip flexors is much lower than the overall weight gain of the legs. The same applies to the calves - one important reason why when you get heavier you'll be a worse one leg jumper is because the calves rarely get adapted to being stronger as you gain all that weight, and therefore being heavier = more overload to pretty much the same strength level for the calves = more collapse of the jumping leg.
The calves can't keep up getting stronger as the same rate as you gain weight, just as much as the hip flexors can't keep up getting stronger at the same rate as the legs are getting heavier.
