Haha , yes , im really curious too , weaker + lighter + leaner = ???


You're lighter AND leaner after a vacation? Isn't it usually supposed to be the other way around for old farts like yourself?

Yeah but you can get away with eating anything when you're 18 haha. When I was 17 and 18 I ate like a gallon of jello a week, sometimes with soft serve ice cream on top. Did not gain a pound that year.

Haha  i was referring to "younger" as mid 20's :D
Now besides joking , nutrients partitioning does change a lot , but you can still control things pretty well at my age. Takes much more effort for the same ( or actually a little worse ) results, but standard things/rules still work.

16 August 2010

Vertical jump testing.
Weight at session : ~185
Jumping on concrete , 10' rim.
Was awfully hot again today , at 10pm that i came back home the local meteo station says temperature : 90'F / feels like :100'F
The burning concrete made it even worse , car's thermometer showed 95'F at court...

10' dynamic warmup , 2x10 sec DL line hops , bunch of low-mid effort jumps.

1x4 SVJs : 26'' to 27'' , one jump at 27,5''
1x4 dropstep DLRVJs : 30'' to 31''
1x4 1-step DLRVJs : 31'' to 32''
1x4 2-step DLRVJs : 32'' to 32,5'' , one jump at 33''
2x3 full runup DLRVJs : 30'' to 31'' , WTF?

Im guessing this dropoff was because of the heat. After seeing i cant get higher at full runup jumps i retried a few 1/2-step jumps , those were 30'' to 31'' too so i stopped.
Not bad at all , of course i didn't feel as powerful and explosive as 20 days ago but all jumps were much more fluid and high than what i expected.

definitely not bad considering the heat + detraining period.. good stuff.

Finished planing my training scheme for this year... not gonna change much. Gonna post it later...

I thought it would be useful to post how im influenced planning my training though.
I want encourage people that are training for 1-2 years 'traditionaly' ( caught in week-based schemes , 'programs' etc ) to follow my path. It is something like a "how to regulate your training" blog-post. Adarqui you could enhance this for sure , but this is like a quick but very solid guide:

Evaluation:
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/pathofchampions.html

Training guidelines:
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/setsandreps.html
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/nonfunctionalmyth.html
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/relativestrengthmyth.html
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/plyomyths.html
http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/verkhoshansky-notes-methods-ideology-gems-forum-responses/

Combining all that you get those:
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/templates.html
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/theultimatesplit.html

But then you want to mix them with this:
http://www.inno-sport.net/Training%20Basics.htm

So finally... you end here:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-ratio-technique/

My path was:
January 2007      -> May 2007 : general training ( 3xweek , standard reps-sets )
September 2007 -> November 2008 : VJB ( novice strength, intermediate strength , intermediate balanced )
January 2009      -> June 2009 : Ultimate Split
September 2009 -> March 2010 : Custom stuff : http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/templates.html
March 2010         -> August 2010 ( today ) : The Ratio Technique

So having passed from all those phases i wanted to share the "training method evolution".

Hope it can help some people...

Yes but it's ultra useful! Its all you need to know and its presented in very concentrated and easy to comprehend way.
That's what i like the most about Kelly Baggett. He not only knows damn lot of stuff , but he has an amazing talent on picking what and how to make a complete article.
Andrew has that 'gift' too i think , they are my 2 fav coaches around the internet, and their connection was a very pleasant ( but probably expected ) surprise.

Reading those articles you will see there is some overlap between them , you will see the same things and principles here and there. I think you are a bit new to this whole reading/testing thing. Its very easy to get carried away and start trying this , that , next split , next approach... that would be wrong. Those articles are not supposed to tell you a magic secret and give a magic workout , they are supposed to make you learn how to train.
For that reason i also highly recommend this article:
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/rocketscience.html

And those:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/an-introductory-block/
http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/some-post-on-another-forum-why-people-fail/
http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/making-progress-progressive-overload/

Also some extra advice , in all those articles , dont get caught in the various templates mentioned , they are great templates for sure but the main point is to understand what they try to say...

WTF is wrong with me today , im in a blogging mood...
