motivation zero. couldn't force myself even to warm up and stretch. odd.

vagus nerve exercise wrecked you.

interesting theory. why do you say that? it hasn't messed with me in the past, that i'm aware of. but it did feel different from normal on wednesday.

hah, was just a hunch, not based on much.

just reminds me of toying with something like high box depth drops out of nowhere and you just feel haywire for a few days.

says intense sparring, but it's more moderate intensity sparring.. still good footage because of the # of rounds, plus they bring someone fresh in at 28 minutes.. which seems like the goal of the session.

Nice, they will be showing it on the bbc channels and online. Excited.

cool! ya me too.

Bolt not doing the 200m as he sees the risk of losing it is quite high. Should be exciting.

guh that sux.. all the more reason he should be running 200m.

100m prospects: degrasse, gatlin (little to some chance), yohan blake recovering well, new american talent and usain bolt.

Then you have van neekirk and his blasting away the competitions in the 400m and breaking records. I don't see kirani james or the american guy keeping up with him.

ya curious to see how WVN performs. that was an unreal performance last olympics.

given an equivalent percentage of 1RM relative to the ROM, i'd definitely say quarters feel more horrible (draining, risky): there's not much "stretch reflex", it's more of a knee driven reversal rather than hip driven, it's extremely hard to descend with speed and reverse it early - without your joints actually helping you like they do in a full squat, and you feel like you could snap in half if you go just a little bit too far down.

as far as energy goes, there's probably some good data out there - based on ROM/tempo/% 1RM etc.

you can get some really good rebound coming out of the bottom of a full squat, it feels good that's for sure. you can achieve a similar feeling with half squat as you get better with it. The game changes alot as you go up above half squats. that's assuming you're going very heavy on everything..

if you're hitting quarters/halfs with lighter loads, the movement should feel really good.

the last video in there still cracks me up.. and i don't normally laugh at fart humor.



it's better to keep some of those threads growing.. they are like historical archives in and of themselves... like the beast & "whole bunch of dunks & shit" threads.

adarqui gave me a hint on my depth jump video i posted on instagram and i tried to implement more arm swing and i must say the one rep i nailed it on, it really felt good and different. Will be doing more of these now with the new technique improvements.Thanks for the tip!

hah np!

Actually having some back issues myself, pounded out some cardio, 400s and upper body today. Tomorrow I'll be doing more cardio, iso's, and agility/technique work. Dunno if any of this stuff would be helpful for your training goals but just throwing some ideas out there. I had what was supposed to be a minor QL strain maybe half a year ago and I kept trying to get back in it too early and it ended up dragging the injury out into a problem that lasted over a month. Better safe than sorry

ya that sounds like a good deal if you can do those things without disturbing your injury. I cant really think of anything that's painfree for me, yea potentially upper body stuff but say even getting in position with dbs for bench press, is hard to do with a back injury. Can say the same for jumping or running stuff. I dont know. plus you cant tell which is pain you can ignore and train through and what you should safely avoid.

i had a QL strain too, waaaaaay back when i was initially learning about lifting (before becoming ex sci major).. wrecked it.. took a long time to heal, that injury sucked.

and ya the only thing i'd say you really need to be careful of, is getting into that mindset of like, being "angry" and trying to just "beat squatting as if it's some kind of war".. honestly it seems like you get into that mode.. personally, avoid that mindset at all costs. If you find yourself doing that, switch up the session immediately and AELS. Easier said than done, but, I think that mentality is really self destruction.. So just be careful with it maxent.. don't go to war with the bar in the context of overcoming an injury etc. Odds are with the bar. :/

peace!

working super hard to keep myself on teh right side of AELS. i felt hyped today for some reason but decided to err with caution. I think im listening to my body, if a set feels wrong i will def stop there and do something else. so far i have stuck to that, it's what day 9, i think i shud be okay to train normally soon.

nice!
