Well I could but... it feels weird, I mean, to lift the heels just so I can squat narrower instead of squatting wider not to lift the heels.

To clarify: I don't mean stand on your toes, I mean wear lifting shoes or put your feet up on 5# plates or something.

I don't know how you guys squat narrow stance. If I were to squat narrow stance, 1/2 squat would be the lowest that I'd get until I would fall on my back so I'd have to compensate by leaning forward A LOT. The only way to squat narrow is if I lift my heels like a beauty queen.

So why don't you?

You don't need to eat many times, small portions. That is wrong. You just need to eat a lot.

For one thing, oly lifters wear oly shoes, which tend to help with depth. Your depth is great in that video, why would you want to go lower?

The old farts had taken over the court tonight. Plus I got blood drawn for some tests earlier in the day. Not a lot, but still kept it on the short side at the gym.

warm up
jump rope
light foam roll
boo LeBron
mobility/stretches

work
depth jump 2x5x18" -- figured out why I suck so much at these...
depth drop 2x3x30" -- harder barefoot (as I did them tonight) than with shoes
squat STIM 2x285, 2x295 -- easy

cool down
stretch
boo LeBron

The thing that keeps playing through my head is Dave Chappelle as Rick James saying, "A celebration!" Over and over. Don't know why.

Just sacked up and bought some lifting shoes. Now I can finally get the most out of chin-ups!  :strong:

Forgot to post this last night. Was crunched for time. Legs felt pretty dead.

warm up
shoot hoops -- what's cooler than being cool?
stretches/mobility stuff

work
depth jump 3x5@18" -- pretty bad, I think, but I've never been good at these
depth drop 4x3@30" -- not as bad, although I did lose my balance on a couple

cool down
stretch
shoot hoops more -- not as bad, I remembered to bend my #$@I!# knees on each shot and, lo and behold, they started falling

why fuck tony gentilcore?

Really, not fuck Tony Gentilcore. I was kind of joking. He seems like a nice guy, even if he does propagate broscience and write for Biotest sometimes. I said that because he gave me really crappy advice when I emailed him back in the day as a starry-eyed, TNation-loving noob, launching me on many months of strength-only training that got my lifts up (noobie gains!) but saw me stagnate in every other area of athletic performance. Still bitter about wasting all that time.

Well to tell you the truth... because I'm afraid of cardio. Like genuinely. Two of my family "men" have died after effort... one came with his bike home and had a vein pop out in his head at 25 years old or so after effort. Another one died after he got home on his bike, was kind of tired, and the elevator was broken so he used the stairs to get home (at the 8th floor of the building) and his heart stopped and started vomiting and coughing up blood and pink foam (sign of pulmonary edema) - and he died basically of a heart attack after effort.

So I keep that in mind and whenever my heart rate goes up at pretty much anything, these things keep coming up in my head and I get scared and my heart rate goes even higher and my fatigue increases a lot in just a few seconds. Then I'm done.

That sucks, man! But cardio doesn't necessarily have to feel like "effort" to be worthwhile. In fact, sometimes it should be really easy. You could just take a brisk walk around your neighborhood, or go hiking somewhere, or something like that. Don't think about it as focused exercise, don't try to get your heart rate up, just get out and move around a little bit.
