Perhaps you should do the pullups, rows and pushups before the endurance test?
Yeah I meant for it to come last. Good point.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: no bounce, need bounce
« on: August 12, 2010, 05:08:26 pm »
Okay, here's the plan for the next week.
Today: ankle rehab, trap bar DL, BSS, jump rope, metcon/core
Friday: rest
Saturday: ankle rehab, bench, BOR, jump rope, metcon/core; practice
Sunday: rest
Monday: test SVJ, DLRVJ, 20yd and 40yd dash, trap bar DL, bench
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: beep test, max pullups, max inv rows in 60s, max pushups in 60s
Between now and then, I need to get my hands on a beep test (someone at my gym has it) and figure out how I'm going to time the dashes. If I can't do the beep test, I'm going to do a 2000m rowing test. Fast as possible. Either way, it will suck.

Crazy Weird Analysis & Stuff :) / Re: Leg/Foot Mechanics: Middle-Long Distance
« on: August 11, 2010, 06:40:05 pm »
With respect to the first vid in your last post:
"The scientists set up a high speed camera...at the 15km mark of the race, and captured most of the runners coming through. In total, they were able to observe the foot strike of 248 men and 35 women, and characterize them...
...the finding is the following:
* The vast majority (75%) of the elite runners land on the heel"
http://www.sportsscientists.com/2008/04/running-technique-footstrike.html
In short, as many people in the barefooting movement are smug morons as in Paleo or Crossfit. Not to denigrate barefoot running by comparing it to the latter two, and I believe in barefoot running in principle. But the point stands that it's a movement and therefore many of its most enthusiastic supporters are just zealots.

Yeah have to agree, see my post in the other thread. I'd be a little more generous than 40" but it's closer to that than 48". No hate, though, rip, you can still out-jump the shit out of me and most other people on Earth.

Kind of disappointed having checked the place out a bit. Lots of PTs are idiots, apparently.

On watching it again, doesn't look as bad as I thought.
EDIT: But yes, that would be bad.

Win. But, why does it have to be a Latina?
Because he lives in southern Florida.
