"Now Cornell University neurobiologists, studying the adrenal glands of rats, have discovered how chronic stress cranks up the intensity of this adrenaline response. The key to this so-called molecular memory resides in a donut-shaped protein on the surface of cells that secrete adrenaline, the hormone also known as epinephrine."

PED's in drug free sports is cheating, unethical, and weak. Athletes and/or coaches who condone/display this behavior can get lost.

"Any athlete that has a legit TRAINED 36-38" SVJ started out with a 30-32+. Show us your data, and show us the video of the jump test method you use."

- Mark Rippetoe



LOLLLLLLLLLL ok so if you have a 30" SVJ already you can only increase it by  6" LMFAO.. that's only a 20% increase in vert...


mind you, I've went from a 27" RVJ to now a 38" RVJ over a period of 4 years. Mark Rippetoe has ZERO knowledge when it comes to vert training. What a tool.

My opinion is that half-squats are never a legitimate exercise for any purpose under any circumstances.

Any athlete that has a legit TRAINED 36-38" SVJ started out with a 30-32+.

I do not think partial squats are SPP. I think they are an ineffective way to train anything, because their mechanics are sufficiently different from normal human movement patterns that they are actually counterproductive.

You can't create "elite" jumping numbers (36"+) with any kind of squat if elite jumping genetics are not already there

And what the hell does bodyfat have to do with this as a training goal?

My rule of thumb in these matters is ABOUT 25% improvement in untrained vs trained SVJ, with emphasis on the S. I didn't make the goddamn percentages up -- they are the consensus of every high-level S&C coach I've talked to about this, every high-level athlete that has trained the SVJ for performance, and my own personal experience.

Half squats are used -- and their use rationalized in this way -- by coaches that do not know how to teach the full squat successfully, that have never disciplined themselves to learn and use the full squat personally, and that run typical shitty collegiate S&C programs that get by because their recruiters put enough genetics on the team that it looks like half-squats and Hammer Strength actually work.

Lakers, you are not reading appropriately - SVJ is not the same as RVJ.

I also think that people are not trying very hard to understand his position and where he is coming from. People just get into these discussions without an open mind and then get upset, like you are, that he is not accepting the idea that some athletes make solid increases in their SVJ without some form of prove. And he is rightfully so asking for it since those gains (let's say 30%, which is a number that has been used in previous discussions), despite the perception on forums such as this, are pretty rare. You could even look at the logs in THIS forum and on TVS and count the guys that increased their standing jumps more than 30%. There are people who did that, but if you think they are more than a small percentage, your perception of it is clouded.
You also have to understand that athletes on a board like this are a somewhat "special" population in itself. For Rip the SVJ is merely a diagnostic tool. People here treat it as their training goal. Those are two different worlds clashing together.

Those things should be discussed, but IMO this thread got quickly out of hand because opinionated people from both sides did not try very hard to understand the other side and could not get their heads wrapped around what was the actual difference in opinion. It's a pity that this is the case though.

x2

I agree with steven-miller views on being open minded , differencing a general athlete from a VJ-trainee , seeing the big pic with SVJ possible progress etc.
But rippetoe is less openmided in this case for sure , those statements are provoking arrogant.

Just 2 cents from someone ( not an athlete , not even close ) who took his SVJ from ~20'' to ~30,5'' ( just a bit above 50% improvement ) squatting mostly above parallel.
