yea I did the same doing tuck jumps the other day. Hurt like hell but just adjusted how high I brought my knees.

That's interesting. I'll try less flexion the next time I do them, see how it goes.

lol im 24 also, happy birthday

Thanks!

Happy bday twin.  Im 24 today as well then.  Damn I feel old. Maybe thats why you wrecked your back. Because of your extreme age. 

LBSS happy birthday !!!

Flander are you trying to depress me? 

yes

 

Do tuck jumps always hurt your back? Thats like the only exercise that slightly aggravates my back for some reason, dont know why though?

try to focus more on getting higher than on hip flexing.. i think alot of people are confused, i'm just now realizing that.. the exercise is more of an emphasis on: getting as high as possible with a very short ground contact.. when focusing slightly on hip flexion (such as with mr tucks), ground contacts will be less, than for example, compared to MR "jumps" (ie very fast repeated svj's), but mr tucks are less intense than pogos due to trying not to lock out the landing.. so MR tucks become more of a submax exercise because of the hip flexion component, BUT, the emphasis definitely isn't on hip flexion.. trying to REALLY hip flex is not the focus of this exercise..

i should probably start referring to them as something else, fuuuuckkk.. this is a debacle.. lol

Yeah man when I think "tuck" I think "knees to chest." Realized belatedly that that's not right. I might scrap them altogether because I find it hard to be sure I'm getting triple extension when I do them. Okay to add another set or two of pogos in lieu of tuck jumps?

Suggested alternative name: MR half-tuck jumps.

MR half tuck jumps.

you get triple extension, it just happens very fast, and you don't "feel it happening".. if you ever check my slowmo tuck vids i had put up, you'll see it.

i'd still do something similar to tucks, like double leg bound, don't need to go max distance, just focus on max height, similar to tucks but you're moving forward.

On the bright side, I'm 24 today.

Happy belated man!!!

run

nice, why did you decide to run? 4.45 is alot to run just out of nowhere.

Because I'm still very out of shape and therefore should be getting more light cardio, because I told myself I was going to yesterday and didn't want to back out like a bitch, because I like to run. 4.45 isn't that much more than I ran the last time out, and that felt great.

Mostly the bolded part, though, tbh.
