Well I've done everything by the book. You tell me how the same ratio is maintained despite increases in bodyweight? Sounds like a genetic thing to me.

Remember, my "natural" VJ back when I was 15 was "wow I touched the net" level off one leg (12 inches) and I didn't know a two-leg jump was even possible. That's the genetics I was served up with.

Dem glucocorticoid levels...

Well of course it is. But it's depressing to think that stuff is more into the realm of genetics than it is in the realm of actual training effects. To get a training effect would mean, IMO, to do a tremendous amount of volume of plyometric work, a stuff that athletic/high jump coaches here in Romania do abide by.

Same thing with becoming a reactive "dunker" - go the Jordan Kilganon or Kadour Ziani "non stop dunking/dunk or die" route. But only those whose genetics were "right" to begin with will be able to go that route without getting injured, because someone with faulty mechanics/"bad structure" for jumping will take in so much damage from high volume jumping (using those bad mechanics combined with a bad structure) that they will get injured before any positive training effects will become noticeable.

It's really depressing when you think about it.

Pace : ~5m / km

5 meters/kilometer?

 

BTW... you do jumps after running one mile? Are you nuts?

What is the programming language that vag wrote that stuff into? C? Cause it sure as heck ain't looking like Java.

Would having a boner affect the center of gravity hence increasing the leverage against the spine putting the spine at risk?

Something to think about.

Wow, so different.

I don't think I could be able to half squat 140x5 with my 150 1RM.

By the way - where do you feel the "load" when you're doing the half squats? Like, do you feel the "knees" are loaded or the "hips" are loaded more? (yes, I know, very difficult to determine, but I definitely feel the knees loaded a heck-of-a-lot more than the hips)
