Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: High cut calves

Nightfly has similar calves to these guys ^^^ and jumps over 40 off one leg. Maybe a shorter tendon might be thicker and get stiff easier? At the same time, a longer, bigger calf muscle has a chance of getting even bigger than a shorter muscle (more hypertrophy potential).

Yeah but hypertrophy isn't really the key here. Those dudes' calves aren't really THAT big.

I'm with dreyth, that shit gives me and my low-cut calves hope of actually being springy one day.

this guy is fat as hell, on steroids, tried out for both the brazil and US olympic weightlifting team and both told him no for whatever reasons. i know most people think bb.com is a stupid troll site, but they are all over him there in his tests he failed and how he can't sign shit anywhere cuz no one wants him on their weightlifting team. this guy is fat as hell too.

that may be true. but he's still insanely strong, especially for his age.

- jumps : 2 step & vert  
:personal-record: tied @32" after one of the gym owners told me I should be getting more knee flexion on the plant. Jumped high, tweaked hip.



 :highfive:

Thanks vag! I felt like all of a sudden I could do a lot more, the earlier jumps had been okay but that one was like a full inch higher and not even more pumped up or anything, just, "Flex knees, get lower." If I can get this hip thing figured out I might actually be able to jump higher next time!

congrats on the tied PR man! you seeing patrick lally?

Nah, my oly lifting coach (if I can call him that at this point...) also does PT. And he doesn't charge for answering questions. BTW I will most likely be in the gym on the 3rd and 6th. The 3rd I might actually have to be at work very late, but hoping not. Thursdays I'm typically in the gym by 6:45 or 7 and Sundays it varies, although I prefer to go mid-late afternoon, when basically no one else is there. Anyway, just PM me if you're gonna come down and we can coordinate.

What exactly did you do for a warmup? It might be that you didn't get adequate motion or flexibility going in your hips. Used to happen to me once in a while too on similar lifts when I didn't warmup properly.

I warm up pretty well although I'm obviously starting to do more for my hips. I think it's partially just the long, long term imbalance between right and left. PT also told me to try doing like one extra rep for left leg on unilateral stuff, and to stretch/roll it a little more. Seems reasonable.

BW = i keep forgetting to measure
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = hip tweak has radiated around deep into my ass muscles...yeah...sit with that image
FATIGUE = low-moderate
DIET = not enough veggies, otherwise solid

session 2 : power

- warmup

- sprint warmup

- sprints : 10-20 yards - to fire up

- jumps : 2 step & vert 
:personal-record: tied @32" after one of the gym owners told me I should be getting more knee flexion on the plant. Jumped high, tweaked hip.

- MR DL BOUND (vertical emphasis): 4 x 10-20 MAX EFFORT, ridiculously powerful armswing

- Pogos: 4 x 5 MAX EFFORT
forgot, i'm so retarded i'm not even sure where my nose is

- REA squat : 4 x 3 (40%)
125,125,125 == hip tweak bad

- MSEM squat: 2 x 4 (~90%)
285,285,285,285 == weight flew, hip tweak rotating deep into piriformis etc. but not as bad on sets 2 and 4

- BSS : 3 x 3
150,150,150

- core
circuit x3
--MB OH throw x20
--KTE x5

- stretch
and roll

My coach/PT told me basically to just chill for a few days, roll all the way around the hip, avoid stretching, and do ice massage. So that's what I'll do. No sense letting this turn chronic.

VERY pleased about the jump, even if the rest of the workout had sucked (and it didn't, pain or not it was good) I'd be happy.

OK Melo, you got what you wanted. Now fucking prove you're worth it because I'm really not convinced.

agreed, but, would be funny if NY competes with the heat now over the next few years, ruining their finals-dreams etc.. back when i cared about basketball, NY was a serious thorn in miami's side, cracks me up now that they are all of a sudden relevant again.

i think this will be a pretty impressive force, melo+amare+billups is a pretty skilled trio btu the team itself is anything but deep at this point.

should be interesting though

chicago is the real dark horse now though, they have a solid team.

yeah and they play defense.
