« on: September 11, 2013, 02:16:37 pm »By the way - I agree with entropy about gaining weight to gain squat numbers. I mean... I'd get to a 100 kg bodyweight at 6'0 with a 180 kg squat... but what would that do on the actual field? Each and every jump would be such a shock and such a destroyer of joints at that point... I would jump a few times and then need to go home. And as I have terrible cardio ability, carrying that weight with me and trying to move it around would be TERRIBLE.
So... it doesn't make any sense (in my position) to get there.
As for squatting - looking at my recent squats that I've filmed... they look really good IMO even as low bar squats. Mutombo should go with low bar IMO.
You don't look very lean though. You could probably be the same weight as you are right now with a way bigger squat.

« on: September 11, 2013, 09:28:15 am »Those look really nice. I'd say it's ok train with higher reps 5-8 while you're learning the movement. You'll get more benefit that way than doing low reps with light weight. Later when your FS catches up with your BS you can switch to low reps for strength. In the mean time you'll gain more by strengthening your rack (via longer reps). FWIW Danny Green trains exclusively with higher reps on FS, he says it does more for his leg strength. I think that's probably true when your FS is heavy enough that high reps are sufficiently heavy to work your legs hard but the rest of us get more out of lower reps for building leg strength.
He's not above the occasional triple.

This reminds me that I should probably see a PT. Wall slides and that sort of thing are fine in my right shoulder, it's got great mobility, but my left one seems to have a physical stop in it after a point. I literally have to click something in it that hurts a bit to get to even a fairly shitty position.

you should film your ghrs I bet you're doing them with improper form if you can do them with 1.5xBW despite not being able to squat your bodyweight.

That load for DB RDLs seems really low. Why would they be that much harder than barbell equivalent? ROM?
Is there significant carryover between hip extension and knee flexion?

How are you only able to bench 40kg total if you are dipping with +20kg? All of your numbers confuse me hugely.

« on: September 04, 2013, 08:38:28 am »I'm not getting stronger from these failed sets. They're actually doing nothing for me, just testing strength instead of building it. Should do more reps to build strength, will do that next week, just testing a 3rm every time isn't working anymore.

I'm pretty sure I read an interview with Dan Green in which he said that he hasn't missed a rep in training for almost a year.
