welcome man. vertical mastery is good stuff. its a bit unfortunate you dont have weight access based on your stats. however, you can definantly make progress on bodyweight exercises. i know ur following vm but adarqui had a bodyweight only experiment and doing walking lunges x400 each leg really got him strong. obviously dont do 400 each legg the 1st time you try it. anyway, good luck mang!!!!

thnx dude, il get out of phase 1 of vm and il giv the lunges a go. 400 each leg sounds killer, isnt that more enudrance training tho, i like the low rep as hard as you can style training xD

damn that sucks no gym access..

well, zginphil is on point when he talks about 400 walking lunges, what he means is, if you're just doing bodyweight, it's hard as hell to create a proper hypertrophy/strength stimulus using the volume (set x rep ranges) that you're using.. the volume on drops, reactive work, etc is fine in your workout.. but for strength stuff, bodyweight training needs more reptitions to illicit a proper training effect..

so, let's say you wanted to really hit those legs hard.. your workout would become:

Quote
workout1
seated jump 6x4
BW step up 3x20-30 (each leg)
hindu squats 3x20-30
BW walking lunge 3x30-50 (each leg)
BW single leg deadlift 3x20-30 (each leg)
60sec rest btween sets.

workout2
single leg depth jumps 4 x 4 (each leg)
cone hops 10 x 3
multiple hops 6 x 3 (each leg)
box jumps 5 x 4
seated single leg box jumps 5 x 4 (each leg)
150sec rest for depth, 60sec the rest

that would provide a much more intense stimulus for strength/growth.. all reps done with max power, but alot more reps..

people say that is 'endurance', but is it? when you are sprinting a 200m, it's 50+ strides per leg.. that is maximal anaerobic training.. so endurance is taken out of context.. the power has to be there each rep for it not to be endurance, but you have to find a way to fatigue the muscle fiber's for them to adapt and grow, which can't really happen on low volume bodyweight stuff, unless it's like upper body or GHR or something.

peace and love xD

form looks fine for your strength level.. you just look "soft" in your runup/plant, soft meaning, lack of strength.. the stronger you get, the most stiff & strong your runup will look.. you should get a bunch of different angles though, showing full run up, like 5 jumps from a few different angles, so we can really check it out..


peace man

i feel wat your sayin, i was a lil surprised on the low reps, but this is my 1st time attemptin to do anythin to increase my vert, so i jus got on with wat i was given, the 1st workout tore me apart for 4 days!! i was doing each rep with everythin i had, the low quantity made me do it with the highest quality i could put out. so for my beginnin level, i thort it was enough. when the spare cash mounts up again, il mos def be investin in sum weights/squat rack.

i guess it depends on the user, someone like me would hav to pace the power to do 400eachleg, so from my perception, it would be endurance training.

cool man, hope you get some good gains coming up.. and ya no one would ever expect you to do 400 lunges each leg right off the bat, that would leave you sore for 2 weeks lol.. everything is about "progressive overload", progressively overloading your body's abilities so that you make adaptations to get stronger, more explosive, more fit, etc.

Week2 day1 workout completed yesterday:

a few lil edits, jus to insure progression, i had my barbell on my back for the exercise, think it weighs 10kg. i swapped up 2 sets of lateral lunges for forward 1nes.

step up with 10kgbarbell 5 x 4
hindu squats 8 x 4 i decided to do these a lil different from last time, emphasizin on accelerating downward movement
lateral lunges w/ 10kgbarbell 6 x 2
forward lunges w/ 10kg bbell 6 x 2
single leg deadlift with bbell 8 x 4
seated jumps 6 x 4 wanted to get my arms involed in this one so didnt carry the bar
plank 2 x 1min
side plank 30sec each side

the whole thing felt good, every rep maxed out, felt alot more spring back up from the lunges/squats. and i woke up this mornin with nowhere near as much soreness as last week. mild ache in my leg gastro behind the knee, and my right ankle maybe peroneus tertius, which i think came from last weeks cone hops, i did that pylo workout barefoot on grass xD
good stuff so far, il let you kno how the jumpin session goes later on

peace and  love
xD

i jus smashed my standing vert!!!! i looked up at the marks from last week and they looked low, measured my reach it was 90" 2inches lower than last week, 1st SV attempt i touched the mark from last weeks 3step dlbe!! 23" from 18", thats insane, my 3step single was better, around the same mark 22/23", and the double averaged 23/24". i feel i cudv got higher with the double didnt really get the steps right, but no matter, still a plesing result

SHEEEEYIT!!! cant wait for next weeks test xD

damn good job man.. reach being 2 inches lower is a bit odd, i mean, i can understand 1", but you did jump higher so regardless, progress!

keep it up
