Tell me how they feel for one leg (and two leg) jumps.

Just be thankful you don't practice at my track:

1) People throw American footballs around on the track;
2) There are people with baby cribs walking on the track;
3) There's a guy with his doberman going to the long jump sandpit to let his dog take a shit there. It's cleaner.
4) Full of mosquitos;
5) The hurdles are on the track, but have a bike "lock cable" around them.

Enjoy!

Guess US wasn't all that bad considering they only lost 1-0 to germany in the group stage..

After Howard saved 16 goals. Or was that vs. Belgium?

So 7-1 is... is a pretty balanced score, right?

Maybe as wasted time in which you could've done better things: foam roll, stretch the problematic areas more, watch horse porn, or whatever.

I really love how Lipek "attacks the ground" with his left arm at 1:10 in the video... it really sets up his entire movement that follows.

But is that "core work" going to be beneficial, or just a waste of time because "you bought into the hype" - is the question?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Tendon strength/ long duration iso holds
« on: July 07, 2014, 07:06:05 pm »
Well... there are several reasons, some of which I agree with and some that I don't necessarily agree with.

Partial squats are more event specific in the case of jumping, they have a specific amortization phase, they lack the impact of jump landings (so you can use more reps without destroying your joints), they provide overload in the form of weight etc... but arguments can be made that you could just as well use full squats for muscle gain and depth jumps/sport specific jumps (dunks) for specificity, without the need of partial squats.

But yeah, IMO, partial squats increase tendon stiffness.

Try one leg jumps in your frees and see what you get.
