Thanks brosephines.

@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.

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.

Not really into metal but I love this song:

how's your ankle?

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.

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 
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.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

x7 million

Everyone else here is on crack.

Otherwise, the old one.

damn them some fancy shits.
