Right after hurricane Katrina, alot of us went to Louisiana to help people clean up and rebuild, these were on a huge spool used to tie barges and ships, was like the only thing that survived, ships were torn to pieces, ropes stayed strong.
just a thought, maybe he had a fluke moment..I had some insane jumps when i am super relaxed, like 5-10inches more than normal jump due to being unnaturally calm for no cause
5-10 inches???
I've had that with ~2-3 inches but a 10 inch increase out of the blue from being relaxed.
I'm not attcking you BMully, everyone is different and i just felt like posting the pic
i don't lie, i got super relaxed in a game and almost dunked with 2 hands, head was heigh as hell, this was 8th grade
Yes yes. And I won Mr Olympia. It was just a fluke. Im back to fat now again.
that is a physical change, not possible to do just like that..in times of extreme pressure or extreme relaxation, people can get super human abilities..that is how i grabbed rim as 13year old who could only normally get half way up, this one jump i got rim, then it took a while before i got it legit everytime...the cns is responsible for strength and power, we develope it to allow more, but it is always capable of that power
ya bmully is definitely right about a substantial performance increase, verkhoshansky referred to it as the 'innate (protected) reserves'.. in which access to that strength/force output is restricted, but through years of proper/aggressive training, athletes can keep improving how much they can tap into it at their own will.. i mean, i remember i was jumping shitty say 5 months ago, then that cop pulls me over, and i jumped like 3" higher after alot of fatigue, that wasn't even life or death, but that small adrenaline response/heightened cns arousal lead to some gains..
level-7 = PR city.
True. But claiming a 10" sudden increase is idiotic. Thats like when Rip claimed that crazy crazy sprint time because he saw a spider or something like that. Actually I dont remember if it was Rip, but someone did claim to run a crazy time, faster than world record speed.
btw yes, that was rip that ran a WR after having a spider on him
Hehe. I thought I remembered it.
Yes, athletic improvement can increase during certain circumstances we all know (Lev 7 MANG). Yes 10 inch vert increase suddenly is about as likely a sudden 100lbs improvement in the bench. And yes this is a long quote, quote, quote, quote, quote. And we all know that rip pr'd becuase that spider was a super duper mega jumping spider, and when in landed on rip, some of the exlposive and elastic qualities of its legs were temporarily fused with rip's Bi-legged frame.
show me the video of ripp doing a wr in 100m after a spider jumped on him
No vid. Only story.
correction, "No vid. Only true story."
Can I quote again? Looks like fun.
Was it fun?
It definitely was, it's like the LEVEL-7 quote training.
This thread is epic. I only pr when running after the bus

What did you think of the ending?
Sick. The give-and-go at about 0:40 is nice. Kid needs a damn sandwich, though.
In general I don't like to watch 7 footers because they base their whole game on their height, but this guy is an exception.
Quoteuh, level-7'd again.. nothing major but just scared the shit out of me.. so im at the basketball court, doing some jumps, and my 'predator' soundtrack song comes on.. then out of nowhere i hear this HUGE noise and then i see some huge thing falling out of the sky, turned out to be a like ~10 foot palm tree thing falling off a palm tree.. dno, just crazy timing considering the predator song haha.. looked like predator falling out of a tree @ 2am.
level-7.
Lol, that feeling is awesome though. Especially when it happens without you being in any real danger.Quotesoreness = left soleus (horrible, from the midfoot runs), both hamstrings a little
When you're running like a mile mid-foot, does it end up being like a strength endurance sort of burn in the calfs? Sorta like the burn in the legs when doing ultra-rep lunges?
Also, I've been doing some 'strength' SLVJ's. Like standing at the free-throw line and doing only my penultimate step into a maximal SLJ, trying to touch rim (scraping it on most attempts). Sounds similar to what you've done in this workout. Eddie's jumps look like he has more bend in the knee than Holm for example, and I wanna get a similar sort of single leg pop. Hope it works out for us!
Keep it up.

9-29-10
Dynamic warmup, sprint warmup.
Sprints- 1.66-1.69
Did a few svj's - 28"
3 step - tied pr of 32 within a few jumps... got new pr of 32.5 then took I bunch more jumps because I really wanted to get 33", eventually I did. Really good pr. I've only gotten 33+ on a vertec once before that and that was an rvj.
Decided to do a few rvj's to see if I could get 34, got to 33.5 to tie pr but couldn't get pr. I probably jumped ~25 times, way more than I wanted to but when I'm close to a pr I go crazy.
4x10-12 tuck jumps
3x5- pogos (didn't do last set because I jumped so much earlier in session)
Rea squat- 125x4x3
squat warmup- 135x3 185x2 225x1
C1- Msem squat 1x6 @ 255
C1- jump squat 2x2 @ 95
two rotations of C1- bumped it up to 260 on second rotation
lunge- 205x3x3e
core circuit x2
Really happy with jumps, I think the tucks and pogos are helping! Expecting big things in a few days for rvj session!
Been at the hospital most nights up until today. My friend's doing surprisingly well, props to the guy for being such a badass and surviving, all the while only requiring surgery on his collar bone because the rest of him is recovering so well. He's had quite a bit of stitching. He has some pretty gnarley cuts on his head and cheeks and he's bandaged up. He had bleeding and bruising in his brain. (which apparently healed to quick to do much damage) Left collar bone was shattered, he had a bone graft done to get it to heal. His neck was thought to be broken at the ER but apparently it was misaligned and will heal on it's own. That along with pretty deep abrasions all over his body and it's surprising he's even alive. People have died from much less. It's like he grabbed death and slapped it across the face while he said, "f**k you death! I'mma be joking around with my friends about everything just a couple days from now, just you wait!" And he did just that.
Anyway, I'll probably upload a picture he posed for in the ICU while he was still swollen, sore and in more pain than he is now (because he still looks like hell). We should make a entire thread commemorating such badassery.
That said and done, I'm back in training again.
Scrawny to Brawny Phase IV (I won't bother figuring out what day I'm on since I've gone so off track anyway. I'll probably just end up changing my workouts entirely for a 3x/week plus 2x sprint work/week anyway)
Supposed to be an off day so I did some sprints.
- Warm up
- Hurdle mobility drills
- Sprint 50m, walk back to 100m mark (from finish line)
- Sprint 100m, walk back to 150m mark
- Sprint 150m, walk back to 200m mark
- Sprint 200m, walk back to 150m mark
- Etc.... until ending on a 50m sprint.
- Cool down jog
- Stretch
