About that... How do you generally warm up for depth jumps/drops? I assume from this that you do a few from lower heights before your work sets. I'm curious because I'm doing them with Starting Strength, and the other exercises have very prescribed, gradual warm-ups that really seem to help. But I've been kind of just launching into the depth jumps after my general warm up.

ya i definitely warmup good.. first i do general warmup etc, such as jump rope now (or when i was training months ago, a normal dynamic warmup).. then i do some ankle hops, build up in intensity (but not max).. then i start doing drops from low height and work from there.

so ya, always warmup good for those.. i would always recommend warming up from lower box heights.. if you didnt have low boxes for some reason, i'd use little mini SVJ's into depth drops.. etc..

peace man

i sware my ability to jump has been 'deleted'.. its as if someone stole the program responsible for jumping.. so hard to explain..

I'm kind of afraid of this; like I'll bust my ass, reach my goal, then as soon as I shift focus onto something else I will completely lose the ability. Have you been jumping at all beyond the ankle hops? Or really taking a break?

last workout before the earth is destroyed by godly hellfire.

17 neutral grip pullups.. felt good.. just walked out of bed and did them.

;d

ill do some more stuff tonight, which will be jan 1 2010.

peace

Nice job on the pullups. Question: when you do them, what do you do at the bottom? Arms fully extended but shoulders engaged? Shoulders fully relaxed? Both are legit, obviously, but it makes a huge difference for me whether I relax my shoulders or not at the bottom.

Also, you're gonna work out after midnight??!?! I love working out, but there's not a snowball's chance in hell of me being sober enough to exercise after about 9 p.m.

hey, sorry missed your comment.

i used to relax shoulders, but i dont anymore.. i leave my arms 'slightly bent (very small bend)' and maintain tension.

ya i love working out late.. im a night person so, i get a huge burst of energy at night.. when i was boxing years ago, i would train in the day, but always follow up with alot of road work/shadow boxing/jump rope at night.. many 1am sessions ;d

last night i worked out 11pm-12am



(last night, forgot to write it down)
1/1/2010:

tonight going to do circuit of:

peace
