156lbs?  Are you gonna just leave your weight alone, or are you going to drop to 145 like you said before? 
If you are still planning to hit 145, are you going to do it after you hit a specific strength number or something?

On another note, June 4 is almost here man.

dno, i'd need to do way more cardio.. which will be possible in june.. im going to take it easier in june, i basically dunked & squatted every single day in may, need a break... that would allow me to hit some relaxed long duration interval cardio in june and get my weight down quicker.

dno tho

Somehow, somewhere inside my head, when I done did seen this vid, I thought about a Darqui-rant.

It's NOT done all the time, and that is simply bullshit. 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.

My SVJ when I started all this business was 25". I have the video somewhere. On my best days now it's probably 29". I care much, much, much more about RVJ and I'm a lot closer to 36" RVJ (obviously), but if I had a 36" SVJ I could dunk a soccer ball from a standstill. That would be neat.

ya his same comment applies to RVJ also.. so for us obsessed RVJ'rs it makes no sense given some of our progress.

edit: Assuming you're HB and Lance is Reverse Hypertrophy, Lance was on some straight TLDR shit in that thread.

let's just say you assumed wrong, as to who is RH.

mindfucked, amirite?

I'm gonna side with Mark on this for the most part for a couple simple reasons:

1. To jump 36" or higher one has to have the combination of a ton of strength and decent reactive ability( fluid in the movement),

to SVJ 36 you need decent reactive ability? nope.. some of the most horribly reactive individuals can SVJ into the 40's. it's an explosive strength dominated effort, not reactive.

many lifters have the strength to jump that high but don't have the reactive ability, on the other hand many athletes training for it just do not have the mindset to not give up as it will take a very long time to gain 8 or more inches on your SVJ.

nope.. if you can't jump 36+, then you don't have the strength for it.. let's not forget that a number such as "2.5xBW squat" means nothing unless time is taken into account.. so if you complete your 2.5xBW squat in 4 seconds, then you definitely don't have the strength to jump 36 etc.. so numbers become irrelevant if speed is not taken into account.

as for people who give up, we don't include them in the conversation, rippetoe might, i don't.

2. A 36" SVJ jump is a ridiculously high jump and for the most part it takes a naturally good athlete to get to that level. I am not saying that most athletes can't get there, but it will be a much tougher road. Off the top of my head I can count a handful of athletes on this site ( A site dedicated to increasing vert) that has that high of a SVJ or even has the strength cabability to jump that high. It is a very small amount of people.

well from what i remember steven-miller was never a good SVJ'r prior to training, he's gotten so much stronger it's insane, and now jups 35-36" SVJ.

you went from ~35" RVJ to ~45" RVJ..

how does "only a handful of people" give credit to your argument? if only one person can prove it is possible, then it is possible for all humans for the most part.. how hard the other humans are willing to work & how consistent they are becomes the key difference in whether or not someone will realize their true potential or just quit and have fun playing sports without focusing on performance improvement.

But besides that, Mark is pretty much ignorant and wants to remain that way, but that was one thing he said that I liked.

he has no knowledge of the advanced methods of SPP yet tells people 36+ is a limit for "average athletes", makes no sense.. how can you know what the limit is if you have never truly tested someone's limits? you can't test someone's limits through squatting & GOMAD, that's BEGINNER LEVEL shit.. and imo, gomad is detrimental unless you really need the mass for sport, such as football or sumo wrestling.

i thought you did great considering how much lower you were jumping than normal.. regarding our convo on live chat, nightfly needs to warmup way better.. need to get in much more dunks 10-12 or so during the warmup part of contest it seems, and really move around alot more powerfully, no sluggish movements.. sometimes part of waking oneself up is simply "acting awake".. if you hunch over/walk around slow, it can have a pretty bad effect on how much force you can create.. gotta walk around boss and powerful even if you feel like shit..

Symptoms of Too Much Potassium

extra bball cardio + 12 bananas a day + basically a low sodium diet = adarqui in potassium overdose.

Doesn't matter how healthy the food is, overdosing on it will fuk you up.

well it'll fuck you up if you don't get in enough sodium.. i need to buy some saltine crackers or something.
