Yeah man when I think "tuck" I think "knees to chest." Realized belatedly that that's not right. I might scrap them altogether because I find it hard to be sure I'm getting triple extension when I do them. Okay to add another set or two of pogos in lieu of tuck jumps?
Suggested alternative name: MR half-tuck jumps.
MR half tuck jumps.
you get triple extension, it just happens very fast, and you don't "feel it happening".. if you ever check my slowmo tuck vids i had put up, you'll see it.
i'd still do something similar to tucks, like double leg bound, don't need to go max distance, just focus on max height, similar to tucks but you're moving forward.
then some jump squats, alternating 95lbs, 45lbs, 95lbs, 45lbs, 95lbs, 45lbs 1 legged box squats(bw) just tried to do some speedy ones, prolly did 6 each leg someother plyo shit, and machine work on hamstrings and quads.
went into the pool area and did jump roping, push upx10, side planks and plank for 20 seconds each, crunches etc etc.
ran a mile on 7.5mph with a 3 incline
heres a little video( i need a bi-pod thing) for the camera
cool man, nice vid, speed box squats looked fast, even though I hate them and would never advocate them.. i prefer REA squats, jump squats, and heavier speed squats OFF PINS with a 3-5 second pause.
peace
yeah i did jump squats, just the angle was to low so u could just see my ass and down, figured itd be awkward to put in lol
and ill do the overspeed REA squats next time to try them out kinda seems like its a awkward movement( with the lil hop while your going down)
don't go too heavy starting out, just keep it to 30-40% of 1RM and focus on form, getting those feet off the ground while dropping into a half squat.. make sure you stay tight though.
Do tuck jumps always hurt your back? Thats like the only exercise that slightly aggravates my back for some reason, dont know why though?
try to focus more on getting higher than on hip flexing.. i think alot of people are confused, i'm just now realizing that.. the exercise is more of an emphasis on: getting as high as possible with a very short ground contact.. when focusing slightly on hip flexion (such as with mr tucks), ground contacts will be less, than for example, compared to MR "jumps" (ie very fast repeated svj's), but mr tucks are less intense than pogos due to trying not to lock out the landing.. so MR tucks become more of a submax exercise because of the hip flexion component, BUT, the emphasis definitely isn't on hip flexion.. trying to REALLY hip flex is not the focus of this exercise..
i should probably start referring to them as something else, fuuuuckkk.. this is a debacle.. lol
created this thread to post the responses I deleted from the q&a, sorry vag/lbss lolol.. we made some rules for that subforum just so threads can stay short & sweet there.
Oh, I was also wondering this: if you eat a caloric deficit, yet a great amount of protein, can't it happen that you lose weight and build muscle at the same time? So body re-composition is happening? I mean, it would make sense, probably the weights on the bar would not increase but if they stay the same and the bodyweight is going down, then the relative strength increases so that's a gain in itself I guess.

Optical illusion (??) says; you're close to the top of the M@*T%#ERFUCKING SQUARE !$%#*@%$ try and get that for me plz, not sure how high that square is tho
i'd imagine it's 11'6 like all of the squares, not sure though.. i'm pretty close regardless, if my peak jump hits 11'-11'2, i'm 4-6" off.. top of square would have me hitting 42" RVJ.

On your diet; you seem to be taking in HUGE ammounts of protein compared to the ammount of Kcal your eating, you drink enough water do? That shit can be a pain on the liver, kinda been there. Sweat smelling like ammonia yet?
ya i drink enough water, my sweat smells normal.. I have some crazy BO if i don't wear deodorant though haha.. i've had that ever since getting under 160 though.
you owned them all man... they were like taller than you and can palm the ball easy... dunk contest?
did the guy dunk or something... he was limping at the end... lol.
lol wasn't trying to 'own them' tho, wanted to land some really crazy dunks, they seemed hyped up and were enjoying it a bit.. the 'white factor' helps.
guy at the end didn't dunk but i dno how he pulled his hamstring, pretty funny.. hope he didn't pull it but i keep cracking up when i see it.. hah
originally i thought i was doing 235, 215, etc.. i miscounted on the weight, so, trying to keep my back safer because of the injury, i end up doing 255 @ 4 x 5 with speed thinking it was 235....... eh.. weird, dumb slipup but it worked out for the best.
backward depth drop off 36" was intense but i stuck most all of them, strong sets.
peace
Dude, you don't eat very much at all! I would be freakin Zombie ravenous after a day like that! Anyhow, I wanted to ask you two things: First, what do the 03s at the end of your Depth Drop sets mean? Second, by my count you did like 135 Deadlifts? Holy crap, that's huge volume! Are you able to bend over and pick up the remote after that?
i ate alot the day before, but ya, i eat light.
03s must have been a typo, it should just be '03', meaning 3, i use '03' to line it up with the other exercises i'm doing.. ie, 03 lines up with 10, but 3 doesn't.. makes it easier to see.
ya i went a bit nuts on DL volume last night, i feel completely fine, basically like i didn't even workout yesterday, except for my calfs, from the 36" backward drops.. haha
? What doesn't have to work as harder? The lateralis?
vmo doesn't.. tychver is probably saying, patella-femoral stability isn't as important with bilateral squatting, so, vmo being the main patella stabilizer, doesn't have to work as hard.

So... what does this have to do with my low bar squatting?
it got worked hard first session, but adapted quickly.
Adarqui AND LANCE answering on the same site? EPIC!!!!111 w00t All love for y'all ! I owe dunking to Raptor, but the latest improvements came after listening to you two. It's really great that you(Lance) have your own performance section, props!
appreciate the support mang!
Adarq.org on National TV! Remember that?
yes, will never forget.
people paste me that pic all the time, because it was tagged of me on my facebook, so people always paste it going "what jersey is that" (with the adarq.org/TVS writing).
