claimed 50+ vertical. could in fact jump pretty high, but stills purporting to show him jumping head-over-rim were really just pictures of him after grabbing the rim, doing a pull up and launching himself up from there. faaaaaker.

Didn't someone call it Penisgate or something because people noticed his junk was going the wrong way in that picture? lol

penisgate, the precursor to pizzagate. and ya i think that someone called it that. His penis being "upwards" in most photos reinforced the idea that he hung from the rim and kinda 'threw himself off' while posing to get the frame. For any future vert fraudsters, make sure you lock your penis down. :/

I realize we lost alot of that info when TVS went down.

Was going thru Klokov's instagram and i came across a vid he put up of him trying a vertec, he got 36" btw. I imagine at his peak as an athlete and if he trained for the vertical leap he'd have like a 60" vertical or something? just found it interesting. dude fucks around and hits 36" smh. no link available, you'll have to follow him to see it, it's private

if by 60" you meant 40"? typo? lmfao!!

also, this is perhaps the worst post i've seen on this forum.. next time please provide a link, i want to see it without searching!! WTF!

:D

I imagine at Klokov's peak he might be able to hit a legit <= 42" or so.. much lower than the debated 60". He's probably alot lighter now (correct?) than when he competed (105kg after weight cutting), he also lifts & trains pretty hard still.

I'd say these NFL freaks have a better chance at setting "world records" in legit SVJ than pretty much any other type of athlete.. They are fast twitch monsters, sprint/accelerate all day, lift hard etc. NFL db's seem to be the perfect specimen for SVJ.. though some of the biggest SVJ numbers are from RB's, WR's and LB's.

awesome article:

http://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/what-are-the-highest-vertical-jumps-in-nfl-scouting-combine-history.html/?a=viewall

Lots of defensive backs (corners, safeties) etc.. That back pedaling & those quads. But still massive number (45) for Cameron Wake @ 45" being a line backer.

These dudes are insane.

If I had to choose between NFL vs Olympic Weightlifters in an SVJ competition, i'd go with NFL. I think the speed component is what gives them the edge. Oly Lifters are perhaps "slowed down" just enough to affect their SVJ technique in regards to reaching their peak potential. Meanwhile, these nfl guys are always just primed and ready to launch with speed/power. They lift heavy/hard but they aren't at all overly adapted to it & thus slowed down like an elite weightlifter/powerlifter would be.

I'd love to see SVJ competitions or something though, then we'd really see.. Athletes from different sports/disciplines competing for $$ with SVJ.

pc!

Zion Williamson has perhaps the most stardom in h.s. since Lebron.. at least on the internet anyway. Kid has blown up beyond belief, and rightfully so .. he's only a sophomore lmao, WTF.

i literally just said "oh my god" out loud.

i kinda did that, but for this video



WTF?


damn this dude has some insane videos.. reminds me of Ehab, but obviously does crazier shit (from  movement/weirdness perspective) than ehab.

look at ehab doing hurdle jumps, with a barbell on his back (last exercise):



nuts. dude is crazy.

Bodybuilding / Re: stomach vacuum/waist thickness
« on: January 16, 2017, 07:16:52 pm »
anyone ever used these to improve their uhm, abdominal aesthetics?

LBSS talking about the greek measurements in his log got me thinking - my waist is TOO BIG. around the navel is like 34+ all the time...even with abs. i look bloated aaaaaaaaaaaaall the time, enough for people to comment like 'woah you gained weight?' until i lift my top up and they like huh?

some of its probably my APT but other than fixing this i wonder if stomach vacuums could help? seems you dont have to dedicate much time to them, just wondered if anyone had any sucess?

i've done them (for several weeks) before to experiment, didn't notice much other than the ability to be more conscious about pulling my naval in.. lol :ninja:

most people seem to find them effective tho.

this happened today.. epic. Look at Lopez pleading to the stats-guys to give him an assist.

Session: Evening

7 PM

long slow run with some speed sprinkled in: 15.03 mi in 2h:17m:56s @ 9:11 min/mi pace
- my favorite long run session so far!! :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:
- hit some decent speed during my short speed intervals, sub 5 pace for a few of them - which is what i was hoping

I think this is my favorite "long run variation" .. majority slow and relaxed, but a few hard runs/sprints mixed in. I had a 0.3 mi @ 4:59 pace in there which is good, haven't gone that speed in about a month. I might do more of these sessions; I really miss going "fast". I need to get some kind of near-max speed in every session like I was doing the previous 5 months, that makes running way more fun to me. :D





happy about it.

i think i just love running fast.. so if i can hit some serious speed for a small portion of a long slow run, i'm happy. lol. 6+ min/mi pace makes me sad.. 5:xx min/mi pace is ok.. 4:xx min/mi pace makes me happy.

i mean the feeling is just so much different.

legs/shoulders felt very loose/snappy tonight. mobility/stretching stuff i've done the last few days probably helping already. also my calves didn't bug me at all during the run .. left achilles slightly, but, kinda expected something like that given i havent run that speed in a while. quads felt kinda numb at one point tho, was odd.

i ran in my XC flats too.. i love those damn shoes.. those are definitely my "speed shoes". My nb rc5000v2's are definitely my distance shoes.

so i can run long & slow in my xc flats, but they are meant for some very fast efforts.

nb's are meant for consistently moderate pace long runs.

I prefer when i'm shivering like a chiuaua, I feel like my body doesn't overheat as easy.


spot on comparison for those shivers lool

do you think you'd still like staying sub 150 if you lived in a colder region though? shivering gets old

hah dno. maybe, maybe not. i'd sacrifice shivers for performance. I see lots of very skinny runners (on IG) training in the cold/snow. Once they get moving it doesn't seem to be much of a problem. I've only ever lived in Florida tho, but I imagine i'd still rather be lean than insulated (moar fat).
