Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Heavy Eccentrics
« on: April 14, 2011, 10:04:44 am »
yeah i'm with you on this one. heavy/supramax eccentrics make no sense unless you're rehabbing from tendinosis. then there's some evidence that they can be a big help. but i don't think supramax squats are worth it. seems like fanciness for the sake of it, when you should just be doing normal squats.

And they almost always involve athletes of color. Since 1993, according to our research, at least 70 athletes have been suspended, dismissed, put on probation, or forced to withdraw from their teams or the school after running afoul of the honor code. Fifty-four of them, or nearly 80 percent, are minorities. Forty-one, or almost 60 percent, are black men.
correlation does not equal causation brother it's as simple as that

makes some nice passes, too.
He could dunk on other presidents. That would be cool. But Putin would put him down in Judo. He ain't a president though.
PM is like half of a president, so that counts.

Yes , i still can't get why you're not jumping way higher. 320@169, WTF , that should have you in the 35 area.
You're very strong relatively and absolutely , lean , you do your plyos , you jump often , don't get it!
Then again you had many derails, those are major bitches.
High-freq jumping sounds nice , be sure not to wear yourself out though. When i was jumping almost every day last year , i would label most of those sessions as 'submax'. Psychology trick , just like you described about gym session : no expectations , no disappointments , just adaptation and technique improvements. So i would go like , e.g. , Monday submax , Wed submax , Saturday caff-up + ME. Worked nice.
Just saying...
yeah this is pretty much what i was thinking. jump more, care just enough to try to do it properly but not enough to get down on myself when i'm not jumping well, keep getting stronger. in other words, back on the arowe plan but with more or less DLRVJ depending on how i'm feeling that day.
also, i wouldn't say i'm very strong either relatively or absolutely. especially compared to some of the other dudes on here. but all that means is there's nowhere to go but up.

BW = 169
SORENESS = lower back
ACHES/INJURIES = right big toe, flaring up today for some reason, arthritis is a bitch
FATIGUE = low
DIET = good
-warm up
shoot around x 30 mins
a few jumps at the rim, WAY submax
foam roll x 10 mins
stretch x 10 mins
-BSS 3 x 5
50,50,50 (goblet squat position)
-squat a bunch x a bunch
95 for all sets, switched between low bar, mid bar, high bar and front squat, just pumping up and down (pause).
-S1: chin up 2 x 5
-S1: OHP 2 x 5
30,30
-jump rope x a bunch but FUCK MY TOE
-incline walk x a few minutes
-the end
Realized that I was having no fun at the gym. Putting too much pressure on every workout and getting pissed at myself for regressing after my work trip/being sick last week. That leads to me doing retarded shit like failing twice on 340 yesterday for NO FUCKING REASON. So tonight I just went with no plan and just dicked around, kept it REALLY light, enjoyed myself. Or at least had nothing to be pissed or disappointed about. I've decided that I need to jump every workout and nearly every day if possible, even if the workout doesn't call for it or if it's an "off" day. If I'm feeling super springy that day, jump more. Off days I'd obviously still keep volume low. If need be, jump a ton and cut back on everything else. I'm trying to get better at jumping. That should be the priority, always. Kind of a "duh" moment, I guess.
