nice, why did you decide to run? 4.45 is alot to run just out of nowhere.
pc
Because I'm still very out of shape and therefore should be getting more light cardio, because I told myself I was going to yesterday and didn't want to back out like a bitch, because I like to run. 4.45 isn't that much more than I ran the last time out, and that felt great.
Mostly the bolded part, though, tbh.

warm up
foam roll legs and back
core stretches
work
run @ easy pace x ~41:20, 4.45 miles
cool down
stretch
Felt like absolute shit, like my legs were filled with concrete. Form felt awful and inconsistent, breathing was easy but HR was too high. Bizarre run. Didn't help that it was pretty windy. Had to stop about 1/2 mile in cause my tibia was starting to tweak. Massaged it for a bit and it was fine.

Yeah man when I think "tuck" I think "knees to chest." Realized belatedly that that's not right. I might scrap them altogether because I find it hard to be sure I'm getting triple extension when I do them. Okay to add another set or two of pogos in lieu of tuck jumps?

Dumb question: Would this work on a GHR? My guess is not, but we don't have that fancy bench at my gym so I figured I'd ask. Maybe a swiss ball...

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Cardio for fat loss when being on caloric surplus?
« on: November 23, 2010, 09:44:19 am »IMO it would depend alot on the intensity and contents of the workout, if you stimulated enough growth then that should work out as you planned it. The low intensity, not too taxing, cardio session is always a good idea, it will not only burn SOME bodyfat, it will also aid in your overall gpp and help you recover between sets and during your workout. This overtime correlates to more reps, more weight, less recovery time needed, etc., all very big factors in accomplishing your goal of building muscle tissue.
This. As long as the surplus is still there and you're getting enough protein and doing the heavy work, a bit of light cardio can only be good.

I'd add that it's important to stretch when you're done, too.

« on: November 23, 2010, 07:46:46 am »Do tuck jumps always hurt your back? Thats like the only exercise that slightly aggravates my back for some reason, dont know why though?
Nope, never had a problem with them before. And didn't yesterday when I did them again. I think it was just some overenthusiastic hip flexion.

I should be benching 220 and oly squatting 300. Im a bit below that.
I assume you mean kilos. Cause there's no way in hell my estimated max bench is 381 and yours is 220.
Yeah of course kilos. 484 bench and 660 oly squat that is.
Phew, you had me worried there for a second. I guess we're fraternal twins.

Yeah I think Charlie Francis (RIP) would have an aneurysm if he saw 8x80 recommended as a way to build explosiveness and/or speed (EDIT: Except for someone already highly trained and already well into their training year). Seems pretty retarded to me.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: BOX JUMPS ARE STUPID - STOP BRAGGING AND DO A REAL VERT, BITCHES
« on: November 22, 2010, 01:44:44 pm »In squatting for jumping improvement, IN MY OPINION, the amortization phase, the point in the movement where the bar goes from downward motion to upward, is the single most important part of the lift. I have seen and strongly believe that the athletes who can turn the lift around the fastest will always have the best carryover to jumping. It is more about how quickly you can get to top speed at that particular point in the lift, than the overall speed attained during the movement.
Interesting point and I think adarq has said this before in reference to REA squatting and jump squatting. I'm pretty sure I suck at this part of the movement. Any cues/tips on improving it?
