hey adarq, ever since you started long distance running have you preferred jumping off 1 or 2?

sup man!

didn't jump much during running phase but, definitely preferred jumping off 1.

yo. oh i see. yea my thoughts here are that running long distance is going to decrease explosiveness, so going off 1 foot may be better because it relies less on pure strength/explosiveness. thanks

cool.

yea dno. you have alot less time to generate force in a slrvj. dlrvj u can spend more time on the ground and generate force. long distance running reduces your RFD. so dlrvj might actually be better, theoretically. however, in practice, i think the slrvj motor pattern is more similar to running, so it gets some transfer. regardless, if you slrvj or dlrvj while running long distance, you can still keep your jumps respectable. i mixed running & max effort slrvj's for a little bit, and my slrvj was going up nicely - with no strength work other than lunges. so, "proper" strength work in addition to running + jumps, should be able to keep jumps up - obviously not peak but enough that keeps things interesting.

running also gives you some "good elastic qualities". just need the strength & rfd work as complementary work, and you can keep jumps up or improve them in the case of less trained people.

most long distance running athletes get in some good speed (sprint/stride work) occasionally to keep from turning into mush.

dude can sky on those lobs / ME rvj. disgusting.

solid vid. been learning alot from this dude. also got some trees from him recently.

didn't know about the "victory gardens movement":

Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany[1][2] during World War I and World War II. In the war time governments encouraged people to plant victory gardens not only to supplement their rations but also to boost morale

It was emphasized to American home front urbanites and suburbanites that the produce from their gardens would help to lower the price of vegetables needed by the US War Department to feed the troops, thus saving money that could be spent elsewhere on the military: "Our food is fighting," one US poster read.[15] By May 1943, there were 18 million victory gardens in the United States – 12 million in cities and 6 million on farms

the moth is crippled. wings were messed up because it didn't have anything to hang from when it came out of the dirt. really sucks.

i've been giving it water. haven't been able to feed it.

until now. just fed it. was quite the experience. it sucked the honey-water out of my hand for literally 10 minutes. he was relaxed, not trying to escape, just suckling this honey-water out of my hand.

then the little doof rolled his tongue back around his arm.. so i had to help him unwind it and get his arm out. 

bad photos but.. hard to take photos when doing this:

that big "wire ish thing" is his tongue (proboscis).

first photo was me adding more honey, but didn't have water in it .. so had to rush back over to the faucet to mix it with water.. it doesn't like pure honey. def prefer honey mixed with water.. that's what finally got it to unravel the proboscis.. well, that and i jammed the proboscis into it to get it sticky & entice him to eat. it worked.

i've tried giving it fresh cut flowers, honey in a sponge (some advice somewhere), honey in hand, honey on ground etc.. good old fashioned honey+water (& hunger?) out of palm did the trick.
