I'm liking that site much better the way it is now!

I didn't get terminal vertical, but I was on the vertical summit.

Well I can barely squat 105x5 in the high bar squat while weighing 90 kg. Squatted 150x1 a week ago in the low bar squat. People say I shouldn't worry about a few cm position of the bar on the back. Maybe they'd like to explain this difference then.

It seems that the same mobility and lack of foot dorsiflexion issues that prevent me from bending my knees well and stable in a one leg jump also prevent me from squatting well in a high bar squat, even with Olympic lifting shoes on.

Also, in the high bar squat I break at the knees first whereas in the low bar squat I initiate the descent going back with the hips. So it's not just the bar position, it's a whole different movement.

Funny thing is that when I did low bar squats a week ago I got pretty severe VMO soreness. So weird.

By the way - how difficult are half squats for you? For me they're maybe more difficult than full squats. That reversal point for me is hell and I feel a huge knee overload.

I was expecting a one-leg jump judging by the speed of your approach. I'll never understand how people can deal with such high speeds when going off two without getting completely overloaded in the plant. My knees and quad tendons would blow out after such a tremendous "stop" off two.

Raptor why are you comparing your situations bro, he was in an actual relationship not some made up infatuation thing. His situation is different from yours, mainly because yours is completely self created and sustained.

Who the fuck said anything about "comparing my situation to his"?

And why are you commenting on my situation like you know everything about it? You don't know jack shit, nobody here does except a few things I've said about it. Trust me, you don't. And even if you did, I don't care what your opinion is. Even if I have 0.1% chances of being with her, I will take them.

But no, I wasn't comparing his situation to mine's and no, you don't know my situation.

To me... when I think about my situation and I read about yours here... I can't stop thinking "how amazingly powerful the human brain is, and the CNS per total".

Just a few miligrams of neurotransmitters X and Y and hormone Z alters your entire perception and behavior and grasp on things in such a substantial way...

Also, how powerful this personal bonding thing is... but I tell you what: if you were dumb or really careless, you would suffer no such things as these.

The ability to suffer in this way just proves to you and everybody else what kind of person you really are in your kernel, in my opinion. Maybe it will make a positive difference at the right moment.

Yeah these all sound like good ideas... it's weird but when I don't run maximally I "think" about my running and start moving really weird or having my muscles shut down randomly on random strides that I take - like I have my hips collapse or knees collapse or muscles lock down, I can't keep either a relaxed nor a stiff "pace".

I'm just too much of an overanalyser/obsessed on thinking about stuff and what's going on and all that jazz. If you combine that with my current mental state you get weird running behavior... I have never heard anybody else saying similar stuff to what I'm saying here.
