@Divad: soreness is no reason at all to change depth, IMO.
Andrew disagrees with me on this, but I think you should squat to the fullest extent allowed by your structure and mobility. If you're really tall or have shitty hip mobility, you shouldn't be going deep. But if you're normal sized then increasing ROM can only help over time.

BW = i keep forgetting to measure
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = very high
DIET = shite, not nearly enough food and what i got was not the best.
kept it nice and easy today because high stress at work, long hours, shit sleep and shit diet (today, yesterday was good) meant no energy or focus going in
-warm up
-jump rope x5 mins
mixing in double unders here and there
-squat 3 x 5
225,225,225 == NO HIP TWEAK
-BSS 3 x 5
80,80,80 == NO HIP TWEAK
-C1: push up x10
-C2: leg lower x10
-C3: pull up x4
-C4: MB OH throw x15
-info: 5 rounds
stretch
now time to redeem my diet a little bit.

I bet there are plenty of good athletes in those places. They just didn't grow up doing jumping jacks every day in PE class. Plus most people I see doing pushups do them with atrocious form, so that's not exactly damning.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Best tasting Protein flavor
« on: March 01, 2011, 03:41:46 pm »Got vanilla and that was a mistake....taste is too plain to kill of the horrid after taste of protein ish
strawberry was my weapon of choice till recently, I just got sick of the same stuff...am trying cookies now, it's allright about = to the strawberry
Oh, and don't use water for the ish..Idk why i was dumb enough to do water with the ish, but it was terrible and lowers protein from milk
i doubt i'll ever switch from vanilla. just mix it with chocolate milk. tastes AMAZING.

The single most staggeringly awesome thing I have ever seen. Just absolutely towers over every other TV show ever made. But not only that, it ranks up there with greatest works of art of my lifetime.
I can't remember who was saying The Sopranos is better, but whoever you are: No.

yup. same size as karl malone, moves and jumps like derrick rose.
anyone who thinks they're even close as athletes is kidding themselves. it'd be like saying a defensive end who could cover randy moss on a deep post and then sky him for the INT wasn't the more impressive athlete.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: High cut calves
« on: March 01, 2011, 12:07:21 pm »Wow I just HOPE my son is really into basketball, I'll turn him into a damn star. I mean with the knowledge that I know now, imaging applying it to an 8 year old in stead of an 18 year old, and the potential rises just so much more. And how knows how much more knowledge we'll all have by the time we have kids? Better protein, better training philosophies, etc.
I mean I'll have him play with toy basketballs when he's a baby and stuff and watch basketball games with him, hoping that he'll have an interest for it, but I don't think I should force it down his throat if he doesn't like it. Like if he falls in love with soccer, then I'll help him like crazy with whatever I know about it.
yup. daughter, too, if i have a daughter. and if the kids don't turn out to be into sports at all, well, that's cool, too. but i'll be damned if they run, throw and jump like idiots.

Jeez, that guys on youtube running 10.22 too.
I wander what the knowledgeable guys are running?.
link? 10.22 is fast as shit.
if you're trying to imply that being an elite athlete (and 10.22 qualifies in anyone's book) correlates with not asking retarded questions or making retarded claims, good luck with that. a taste:
Quote from: Race Radio
Backed up by electromyography, I find squats to be the most overrated exercise around. Even though Charlie stated 'sprinting was a back dominant sport', he still employed/favoured squats highly, which from my research are quad dominant (right? or wrong?), both front or regular & don't hit much glute neither. Wouldn't deadlifts/barbell hip thrusts/reverse hypers etc (ham/hip dominant) be favoured options?.
Anyway a bench/squat variation?. What does everyone make of these below, (opinions) please?. You don't see many people performing this any more. A forgotten strongman's exercise, great for overall body strength development.
I think there right up there IMO, anyone into really strengthening the core in particular, increasing your plank time etc should be hitting on these. According to electromyography, great for glutes, hams, delts etc.
Yes? or No?. Performed dynamically or isometrically?. All opinions appreciated.
