hey darq whats your view on power/hang cleans, Bulgarian Split Squats and Complex training (individually in regards to vj) Thanks in advance.......

if your form is good on power/hang cleans, then im for it.. if you're self taught with bad form, or coached with bad form (most usa schools), then im not for it, there are better alternatives like REA squat, jump squat, jumping clean pull, push press etc.

I like bulgarian's, but I like walking lunges better.. there is an ADA component to walking lunges if you do them with a bit of a drop on the front leg, this introduces a greater eccentric etc.

Complex training i'm for, just have to make sure to do it right..

Squatting complexed with explosive lifts works well imo.. explosive lifts complexed with plyos works well imo.. Squatting/explosive lifts complexed with broad jump/sprints works well.. As far as VJ/RVJ, i rarely have seen that much of a stim effect with heavy squatting etc DURING the workout.. seems to be too much fatigue for most people. The IES (iso extension stim stuff) never made me feel any worse during my SVJ's/RVJ's, and gave me a small boost, so that was the best complex that I liked for svj/rvj. Also, for complexing SVJ/RVJ, doing med ball scoop tosses or heavy dumbell swings, then complexing the SVJ/RVJ, ive seen that work well, as a result more powerful shoulder flexion.

sprinting seems to be effected less than most everything i've noticed.. man we had some crazy PR runs after squatting etc.

peace man

bw 159

quads = sore as f*k
hams = sore as f*k

back feeling a bit better

upper body a little sore

groin a little sore



~8 mile walk:
- 2 hours
- tightened up a bit while walking, hams /quads were feeling it

hopefully that helps me recovery alot for tomorrow.. wanted to get in a good heavy bag session but my legs feel dead..

no idea how ill feel when i wake up! if i feel extremely crappy i might do some punch conditioning crap instead of what i had planned.


pC!

ya.. woke up, hams still sore, but i think ill be alright, we'll see.

i need to make sure that i keep up some MAX-V sprinting at least 1x/week so that I never get this sore from it.. I have been doing sprints but 400-800 etc, which has me holding back a bit as im pacing, i need to make sure i hit 50-200m 100% sprints at least 1x/week.

Darq, what is your view on LDISO's, the WGF guys swear by them.....most efficient way to get strong etc. Like the iso lunge for minutes and such.

as prescribed, 5 minutes per exercise & ONLY training using the ldiso's for 3-6 months, i think they are a waste of time.

pulling yourself into position, maximally, can lead to strength gains, but you don't need 5 minutes of it to obtain them.. the ldios's are backed by ridiculously insane claims, and by individuals who cannot provide proper credentials. honestly, they are just a cult following..

the actual WGF guys (korfist/fichter) don't say they are the most efficient way to get strong, that's the funny thing about it. That forum has been taken over by Jay Schroeder worshippers & james colbert. WGF uses weighted isos, such as very heavy split squat holds for 7-20seconds.

It's like the WGF guys don't even read their own forum, but, if they do, i'm surprised they allow it to continue. That forum should be about utilizing WGF methods, instead it's a 2-3 year failed LDISO experiment for the most part, with tons of bullshit slung left & right.

peace man

Yeah, they are all conversing with a guy who claims to be some LDISO god, who can't even put out a video, name any athletes he's trained, has hardly any credentials, etc. It's a cult following :) Check the Jay Schroeder thread in call em out, give that a read you'll laugh your ass off. That thread is based on this topic we are discussing.

WGF Iso's would definitely be something you could try, but I wouldn't right now, keep making gains on what you are doing. WGF methods don't incorporate squat, but they do incorporate reactive squat etc. All of their max strength work is done using iso's, then they have you do reactive/plyometric work & correctional work (glute/feet/core etc).

From the journals on 'db hammer forum', which used to be about inno sport's methods (WGF improved inno sport & gave it life), most people get all caught up into that ideology, but eventually go back to the basics.. that's a pretty telling sign.. but you never know how good they could have done with proper WGF coaching from korfist/fichter. I'd imagine with direct coaching, WGF's methods are very good, but it's pretty hard to do on one's own.

peace man

well, i was starting to try them but i got major knee tendonitis, so i stopped, then i tried them again, major knee tendonitis.. the tendonitis came instantly, so i stopped early.. lunge iso fucks my knees up BAD, really bad.

as long as you have a six pack/are lean, then you're fine, don't worry about weight much.. being that lean is what you need for peak vert, it's an element, but don't think you need to drop mass, unless that mass is temporary water weight when you're all caff'd up for a jump session :F

got real busy tonight. bleh.. didn't want to workout anyway, hoping tomorrow i feel good..

left knee has a little bit of tendonitis feeling on the patella insertion, left shoulder is much better.. dont know what the knee feeling is from, except maybe stretching my quads yesterday, that probably did it.

so nothing for tonight, just rest.. hopefully feel good enough to do a bball dribbling workout tomorrow morning.
