Awesome. And no double dribbling or traveling, like that stupid five year old.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Lateral knee "clicking" not affected by rolling IT band

^^^ Probably true, give it a couple of days of RICE and see where you're at. But the fact that you had surgery makes me think that, unlike Lord Darqman there, thou hast insurance. In which case, get thee to a licensed physical therapist.
Why is it suddenly 1647? I don't know.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Kipups - Did I also mention, I hate these?
« on: October 05, 2010, 09:17:18 am »This is used to destroy the rotator cuffs, it's not supposed to be a strength exercise primarily I guess.
Fixed.

Saw him live last year at Wizards...kid is the real deal. Those passes are just too crisp for words. The ones at 1:23 and 1:29 are dirty.

Vid from yesterday: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi4vXsFgvig" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi4vXsFgvig</a>
Sprint is full of problems, I know. No triple extension on the first step, for one thing. First jump is awful, the second and third not so bad. Didn't record the best jump of the day, which was about 31" or maybe a bit more.

400m Sprinting or Shorter / strength for sprinters
« on: October 04, 2010, 11:15:42 pm »
Two good articles, one on improving acceleration and the other on the different demands required during a 100m sprint. Excellent info.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Lateral knee "clicking" not affected by rolling IT band
« on: October 04, 2010, 11:12:15 pm »Hey guys,
I've been experiencing some right lateral knee clicking since last night. I rolled the heck out of my IT band, stretched my piriformis (dunno if that's relevant to the problem at hand) and iced my right lateral knee and the discomfort isn't really subsiding. I had a lateral meniscus tear diagnosed via an MRI in 2007 (not sure if I tore it then or earlier) and had a PLC reconstruction operation following the diagnosis and have linering scar tissue, which may be causing or aggravating the "problem." Any suggestions?
This is going to sound glib, but given your history, my suggestion would be to find a good PT, call him or her, and set up an appointment.

Program Review / Re: Jump Manual
« on: October 04, 2010, 11:08:15 pm »Jacob is actually a really nice person and quite knowledgable about Jump Training. He spends a lot of time helping his customers and making sure they get results. If you were to follow his program I am sure you would do ok.
Zgin, care to offer a counterpoint?
nope. i dont disagree with jack.
Aw, crap.

warm up
foam roll legs x10 mins
work
easy jog x30 mins, ~3.4 miles
cool down
walk some
stretch
HR was around 130-135, just about perfect for a recovery run. Felt extremely easy, could have kept going at that pace for a long time.

Sprints in Nike Frees were bugging. New kicks still not ideal but definitely improve things enough that I can set up okay. Should try push-up starts. Thanks for the other suggestions.

SR sessions are planned as max 20 yard sprints and max DLRVJs, although given the limitations of the facilities I have available, that might have to change (e.g. there isn't always something to jump to, sometimes it's raining outside so the track is out, etc.). Might be helpful to have a menu of activities, actually. Thoughts on that?

nice man, ya i do that visualize/self talk stuff when i do my big sessions.. it really helps.. i can't remember the last time i didn't jump insane high after i say to myself: "this is the only jump that matters, everything else is in the past".. works every time, got it from that olympic triple jumper interview vid haha..
but ya, once you go at this for a while, then you can start incorporating more reactive work (id say no dj's, more like pogos/tucks/etc), then your RVJ should feel way different.
peace
Word. It's not so much a psyching up thing for me at this point, mostly just visualizing what it should look like as I approach the hoop: aggressive acceleration, big step into the jump and rotate whole body as right foot plants and I launch off the ground. Psyching myself up for real tends to just make me tight, I try too hard.
With respect to adding more reactive stuff, I'm going to wait until I've actually followed through on the current set up. Or would you recommend adding more reactive stuff to SR sessions starting in the next phase? The one thing I've thought seriously about adding was a couple of heavy squat singles or doubles on the power day, just to keep advancing strength as much as possible. My technique is back in an okay place: no knee collapse or wobble and good depth. Thoughts?
