« on: August 17, 2017, 02:27:08 pm »Not to take it offtopic but im fascinated by the Masaii jump. Any thoughts on adding it into one's training?
basically stiff leg pogo hops, one of the most highly recommended reactive exercises on this forum
pogos are incredible.. even more so than double leg bounds, MR tucks etc. They train "elastic qualities" obviously but i've always felt like they just improve triple extension better than any other exercise .. so if you want that "flick of the wrist" of a jump shot effect for your ankles, pogos are your exercise.
you basically try to keep your legs "locked" upon landing and flick yourself back up .. you can actually do this submaximally to start & it still provides a great training effect. It's easier to keep your legs locked when going submaximal. As you get higher, you'll have a little bit of bend upon landing which is fine. These Maasai jumpers allow more knee bend. If you notice they hardly have any arm swing either.
during my peak RVJ I felt like I could get near 30" or so off the ground on these, maybe even more .. here's a video of me doing them, but not at that level:
here's two more videos of the same Maasai jumper:
very serious bounce..

I gotta watch my diet, feels like my appetite is up due to the weights.
I bought a sandbag thing with a bunch of handles on it and comes with a 10/15/20 pound sand kettlebell bag set.
just don't leave it outside.. i made my own sandbags for lifting, way back in like 2005 or so.. left em` outside. eventually i'm lifting it, and i start feeling stings, red ants all over me .. they created a nest inside the bag somehow, and it was full of ants. nightmare.

Thanks mate. Didn't train again today and hopefully back at it tomorrow.
Yeah good idea. I'll start adding a date to each one cause I can't remember either. Haha lol'd at noob

bw = 157
- whoa
soreness = bottom of left foot a bit, right hamstring slightly
aches = bottom of left foot - certain positions can cause it to feel painful rather than sore - plantar fasciae strained slightly. I've had this before several times in my left foot so, seems like something is jacked up there & once it heals/adapts it's usually fine for a long time.
left foot is way better today than yesterday, but didn't want to risk making it worse, so AELS - didn't go to the track.
I might go to the track tomorrow morning, but if it's still bugging i'll just take another rest day ... idgaf.
walk with dogs:
- 3.5 miles
did some feet stretches at night .. made my foot worse, then better.
ideal plan:
- thursday: 400's/200's with spikes, jumps
- saturday: MARATHON JUMP SESSION INDOOR GYM!?!? just tons of L/R-SLRVJ's in my favorite indoor gym
- sunday: running jump rope, 400's, jumps
that'll probably fall apart like usual.
peace!

Soreness: hamstring
BW: unknown
Warm up
uphill walk
activation and mobility drills
Workout
12kg kettlebells in each hand squat jumps 3 x 7
12kg kettlebells in each hand switching lunge jumps 3 x 10 (5 each
leg) - I go to lunge position, jump and switch legs in the air and
land in lunge position, 1 rep, repeat.
12kg kettlebells in each hand run up steep steps with emphasis on
driving off the back leg to get on to the second step and do this
without stopping till the top (10 steps) walk down and go up, so go up
steps 3 times, did this for 2 sets and last set without kettlebells.
12kg kettlebell (held one kettlebell with both hands) did hip swings
- where you swing the weight between legs and use hips to swing it
forward 3 x 12,14,16
12kg kettlebells in each hand calf raises on edge of step till heel
reaches bottom of step below and till i tip toe to the top 2 sets x
20, then did it single leg for 10 reps which was harder due to
balance, but when you lean against wall it becomes easier so had to
avoid leaning.
12kg kettlebell in each hand single leg stiff leg romanian dead lifts
3 x 12 each leg
Cool down
stretches
walk down hill
Comment
gym was being refurbished so only had access to gym and I could ask for kettlebells to train with, which I did and came up with a workout, which may have some similarity to my usual routine plus added creativity. Will do this workout tomorrow too as refurbishment finishes nextweek.
out of nowhere kettlebell fest.

« on: August 16, 2017, 05:03:52 pm »after your slit-wrists comment directed at acole, which was definitely crossing the line, I really didn't want to reply.. but I will this time. Most people on here probably won't reply until you cool down for a while, they just won't feel the need to help you if you are causing problems. Once that number hits 100%, it'll be futile to even post on here. So dude just relax.For example yesterday I did some insane volume at heavier weights.
If I were to push myself to the limit and say do the same today while being super stiff and sore..... albeit I don't get injured, would that be beneficial?
It can be very beneficial. The thing you need to understand though is, the most important aspect of training through soreness/fatigue, is to actually dig yourself DEEPER into a hole. By increasing fatigue, it's basically like pulling an arrow back to the maximum on a bow, and then you rest a few days, or slowly deload, and your performance can increase quite dramatically past current levels. It's a super compensation effect due to accumulated fatigue.
so generally, training through fatigue and soreness isn't a great idea; risk of injury & severe CNS fatigue increases if you push yourself past the breaking point, especially if you do it for too long (too many consecutive days & sessions too long in duration). So more experience and a high level of fitness/work capacity will make it much safer & more effective.
high frequency training routines manipulate these variables .. another thing you need to realize is, when training through fatigue, you need to understand that your "1RM" or various performance numbers change day to day. So if your fresh 1RM is 405 lb on back squat, it might be 375 when squatting consecutive days etc.. The stubbornness I talked about above, is when people think they should be hitting "fresh numbers" when in a fatigued state, that becomes a problem.
you can search things like: supercompensation effect, accumulated fatigue, delayed training effect etc
as a personal example, during one phase i'd do some reactive work and/or jumps + squatted several times per day, as often as I could. Sessions would last 15-30 minutes. Really quick warmups, some stiff leg pogo hops maybe or MR tuck jumps, workup to a heavy single, 5 rep, or 20 repper. I'd do this for say 3-4 days in a row, take a day or two off, then feel ridiculous & jump really well. I did the same thing with running, kill myself from Monday through Thursday, take 1 day off, then feel ridiculous in a race.
He was another one of those that I just ignored while he disrespected me for the last few months, then today out of no where he comes out and says all this shit again, so I just stooped down to his level and got into disrespect war.

« on: August 16, 2017, 03:44:36 pm »8 oz gloves.. nice.
http://www.boxingscene.com/mayweather-mcgregor-8-ounce-gloves--119535
Oh wow, they accepted their request to 8 oz gloves. Well more easier for Floyd to knock connor out.
Nice vid.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-SrUAu9SFQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-SrUAu9SFQ</a>
ya people keep saying this helps conor, but honestly, it'll make Floyd more cautious which means he'll care more about being hit - which means he won't get hit .. and it'll mean that Floyd's potshots/quick shots will cause more damage.
i'd say that's actually worse for Conor .. Conor's advantage would be 4 oz to bare fist I imagine.
