KNEELING POWER CLEANS
KNEELING SNATCH

I've read the book these two lifts/jumps came from...i think I remember them being prep exercises for the snatch and C&J, nothing more than that. typical America for you though, lets find something odd/new (which isn't new at all) endorse the hell out of it and take the industry by strom

and why just extend at the hips and not the knee and ankle like most jumping?


ya, that's exactly what they were used for.. just a progression for learning the oly's, now look, they are utilized in every 'performance gym' around the US.. all they do is waste time, unless it's part of an oly learning progression.

that 45 year old housewife should do some kneeling oly's, you should suggest that to your instructor.. haha

peace man

bw = 149.4
soreness = not much
aches/injuries = not much
fatigue = high as f**k

workout #1: dunks
- just did dribble ups, missed everything but had a bunch of 32-33's off dribble.. was throwing them down hard

workout #2: glute bridges/calf raises
- gb 100, gb 130, cr 50, db 130, cr 50

bahaha


i need to put together a portfolio for my zoolander modeling career:





whatever, least the lighting was cool.






Yeah it would really be interesting if you put your mind into getting a 50 inch RVJ... (I won't even talk about a "kingfish 40 inch SVJ".

dont diss kingfish breh, he's dedicated to SVJ.

Yes. Right hip is buggin and left knee tweaked during the jump squats but this workout felt very good.

neutral focus
SH:SP:SR:SH:SP:SR:SH:SP:SR:SH:SP:SR:

power focus
SH:SP:SP:SR:SR:SH:SP:SP:SR:SR:
speed/reactivity focus
SP:SR:SR:SR:STIM:TEST

warm up
shoot hoops -- hot and cold
core stretches fast

work
tuck jumps x10
pogos 2x10
15y sprint x4
1-step jump x15*

REA squat 2x3x95
jump squat 3x3x95
squat 3x2x285 -- first rep was awful but rest were pretty good
OHP 3x5x95 -- super light but hadn't done these in a while, so
chin 3x10
core circuit x3, no rest between exercises, 60s between sets
--Pallof press x10x80/ea
--crunch x18x45
--leg lower x12

cool down -- took about 35 minutes, felt great
foam roll
stretch

*These felt as good as jumps have felt for me. Was consistently hitting 30-30.5, when last workout I think I might have hit 30 once. I was just amped for them at the beginning and got a knuckle on the rim on my first jump. I think the sprints helped with that. Dropoff was pretty clear after about the 12th jump, but that's okay. Will get better as work capacity improves.

nice jumping man! good stuff

hope nothing is up with your hip/knee.

been dreaming alot lately. yesterday, i dreamed that i was driving on the highway and for some reason, I was sitting facing the window instead of the road. like i was shifted over 90 degrees. anyway because of this ackward position, wheni tried to hit the gas, i could only hit it hard enough to go 25mph on a 65mph road. my dad in the front seat (who is usually very calm and sometimes encourages me to drive fast) was freaking out because i was going so slow. my mom in the backseat (who always gets nervous, esp when  drive fast) was perfectly calm.



your best dream post yet, that is completely twisted.... awesome









Can you think how could the brain create so many different strange stuff in our dreams... I mean I think it's fantastic this stuff happens...

ya man, it really is amazing.. i love the dream world, i am excited to visit it every night ;d One day I will really focus on learning to astral project, that would make life perfect.

NOHOMONOHOMONOHOMO



yes im skinny, but leanest i've been in a long time.. happy about it.

18705
AGE: 19

HEIGHT: 6' 1" without shoes

WEIGHT: ~160lb, could be slightly more

SLEEP SCHEDULE: Sleep usually between 11pm to midnight on weekdays. I mostly feel drowsy when I first wake up, start to get into things after about and hour. I usually smoke (mary jane) at night before going to sleep so I guess that's somewhat of a sleep aid.

BODY TYPE: Skinny, lanky build. Long arms and legs but I have broad shoulders. Not very strong, I would say my lower body is stronger though.

GOALS: Jump out of the gym. My ultimate goal would be elbow to the rim, but anything over a 40" RVJ would be awesome.

CURRENT ABILITY: Getting from about 2" above my wrist over the rim from a running DLVJ, maybe an inch more from SLVJ. With a reach of 7' 10" standing, that makes my DLVJ about 30" and my SLVJ about 31".

INJURY HISTORY: Achilles tendonitis over summer, went to rehab for 8 weeks and am now careful to not overwork it/keep it properly stretched out. Barely notice it now, occasionally after a tough session it'll feel a bit tight, but after stretching it out feels fine.

TRAINING HISTORY & ACHIEVEMENTS: Been working solo on my jumping for about 6-7 months now and have seen roughly 4-5" in gain on my DLRVJ. I started doing straight strength work on my legs and kept reading online about optimal training methods. I started with a leverage squat machine (never felt comfortable doing free weight squats, couldn't position the bar properly, but I've been wanting to start that up) and leg press a couple times a week. More recently, my leg workout has been:
1x10@250lb
1x8@260lb
1x5@270lb
on the leverage squat, all explosive as possible with ~5mins rest in between (do upper body in that time).
1x10@230lb
1x10@240lb
1x10@250lb
on incline leg press, also explosive and also ~5mins rest
1x10@150lb
1x10@160lb
1x10@170lb
on incline leg press, very quick up and down, explosive

I do that once a week and I need about 3 days to fully recover (isn't that long?).
The past 3 weeks I've been doing intermediate plyos from the VJB as well, so weights once a week and plyos once a week with a couple of straight ballin days in between when the legs are up to it.
I feel like I've been training hard for a while but not seen the best possible results. I want to train right, and I think if I get the right program I could be dunking by the end of the year.

CURRENT ACTIVITY LEVEL AND/OR TRAINING PROGRAM: Pretty much broke this down above. Just seeing the leg work typed out now it really doesn't look like much, but that's what I've been doing the past couple months.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF CURRENT DIET: I eat a lot of crap, mostly because of gettin the munchies. Breakfast on weekdays is a bacon egg n cheese with a coffee and usually a muffin. Lunch is usually some kind of sandwich with meat and cheese and a soda. Dinner is usually a pasta and meat dish of some kind, with variations including pizza, sub sandwiches, stuff like that. After dinner I usually eat a shitton of unhealthy food - candy, ice cream, chips and the like.

IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES: I don't really need to be fresh for any specific time. Things to work around right now are work which go from early in the morning til about 5:30 when I get home. After that all time is my own.



Just to kinda sum up, I feel like I've been working my ass off trying to get my hops up and don't have that much to show for it. If I had put all that effort into the right training methods I think I could be dunking by now. Sure, I've seen some gains but I don't think I've been as efficient as I could have.
I've been following your journal for a little while and I have to say your dedication is inspiring. Anyway hope I've given you everything you need, looking forward to hearing your take.

sup man! thanks very much for the compliment. put your post into a journal so I can respond to it in there, that way we can go back & forth in your journal, it's much cleaner/more organized that way. Put it in the progress journals section.

peace man
