WTF, you have a 3x330 squat PR? Full squat or what is going on there?

By the way, I usually measure the hangtime from the time the heel gets off the ground to the time the heel touches/should touch the ground.

Noooo way full squat , it was 90 degrees half squat.
I never maxed out my full squat , most recent PR performance was 5 sets of 3 reps @ 242lbs (110kg )

This has been discussed here:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/strength-power-reactivity-speed-discussion/about-the-hangtime-based-vertical-jump-calculators/
Flatfoot to flatfoot is also wrong , overestimates the jump. I think the best estimation is ( hangtime calculated jump toes-off to toes-landing ) + ( reach in toes - flatfooted reach ).
I never measure hangtime anymore , recording highest touch on measured rims is the way.

10 July 2011

So my back was feeling 100% this weekend. Did a few pistol squats yesterday and it didn't bug a bit.
I was 190lbs ( season low ) , feeling great, decided to caff up and go ME jumping.

10 minutes dynamic warmup , feeling very springy and powerfull.

Warmup jumps sequence:

3xlow effort DLRVJs : 29'' - 30'' - 31''
3xmid effort dropsteps : 31'' - 31'' - 31''
3xmax effort 1-step lead in jumps : 32,5'' , POP!!!

Fucking back got pulled again , WTF , BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Waited 5 mins , attempted to jump again but it was like i was cut in half , although back doesn't hurt , barely bugs , but i have this feeling that if i try to transfer power it will be torn in pieces!

Tomorrow ( if able ) im going back to lifting , ME jumps are impossible as it seems, most i can achieve is re-injury...

what are you doing for prehab/mobility/strengthening for your back? that kind of thing shouldn't happen as frequently as it seems to happen to you. and yes, i know you're (kind of) old and blah blah blah.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Maybe you have the same piriformis syndrome as I had?

I think it is just a muscle pull that i don't allow to recover and i keep reinjuring. I tend to do that (stupid ) on all kind of injuries , whenever i feel 100% , i say 'oh , nice, im back' and go ME , big mistake. I also didn't do anything at all recovery-wise , stupid too. I don't get injured often ( more like almost never ) so i don't really know how to handle injuries.   :-\

Anyway , there are 3 weeks left before holidays so i decided to call it a season vert-wise. I will go GPP those last 3 weeks and after holidays i will chase vert like crazy until my birthday (end of October ).

Also ,what kind of mobility/strengthening/recovery specific work would you suggest for a typical back pull?

I have no experience with injuries, but what I personally did was a lot of piriformis stretches throughout the day.

If you can't bend with your legs straigth to touch the ground and feel pain in the buttock of a leg or in the hamstring (knee area of the hamstring) then it might be the piriformis syndrome.

I don't think it was that weird you did good in the pistols, you probably haven't exercised as hard with your back injury so you rested your legs better.

Well i haven't lifted from 24 june , that is 17 days, i definitely expected to be detrained than just deloaded/rested.
Possibly tapering / milking the gains from the high-frequency block ? Or just a random very good day? Next sessions will answer that.

When I had my back problem I think I stayed about one month away from lifting. Didn't lose anything at all. I also had a period of no squatting when I had my knee thing, for about 3 months, and didn't lose anything as well.

Pistols. Nice. I like pistol squats. Theyre very cool. Never seen them done to a box though.
