Bball training.
Breaths , pop , strength , jumps , all good.
Got a 30'' dropstep jump and a 32,5'' 2-steps DLRVJ.
32,5'' is a season best , it's also just 0,5'' before "dunk attempt" status.
Good shit...

niiice vag!!

Extremely retarded, especially considering Cushing could get hurt doing something so useless and lose millions.  Joe Defranco has plenty of vertecs, if he wanted to test a max jump its pretty damn easy to do safely and accurately.

yup.. if you're going to do PR 'hurdle jumps', i mean, at least come up with a safe setup when you're having a guy under a million dollar contract jumping over it, same goes for high school, college, or whatever-level athletes too ;0 no matter how good you jump, anyone can clip a hurdle or have a weird plant/jump.. doing so in that setup could be horrible.. cushing was obviously pumped that he made that jump, which means he had an even higher percentage of missing it.

i agree though, hit the sticks on a vertec, those PR's mean more

peace man

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."

lol i'm getting attacked from all sides on the 64" box jump comments,

safe, or unsafe?





LOL, imagine clipping that..

Hi Andrew

you shouldn't be so hard on the undulating ropes. I have a set I use with my clients and they are a cool conditioning tool. The people I train like them because it is fun, easy on the joints, and really hard work. For people who have leg injuries, or need to take it a bit easy on the lower body for a while it is a great alternative.

When the weather gets warmer here in Melbourne I plan on doing some conditioning circuits using my prowler (lower body obviously) and the ropes (upper body). I can't see them helping your vert much (unless you need to drop some weight), but for people who need grip strength and general shoulder/upper body strength endurance such as say - an MMA fighter, it would be a good training tool.

cool, ya they look fun

That said, I am with you on the skipping rope. I love mine and wish I could get more people using them. I have just ordered a weighted one and am looking forward to having a play around with it.

jump rope is legit! I have a weighted rope, I actually find it easier than my non-weighted, because non-weighted spins faster.

I am voting for you being a grouch. So is the Thinker.

The Thinker hates me because I exposed his squat numbers.

:d

Hahahaha!  "I bet youre one of those people on the cross trainers avoiding squats and deadlifts" .... that made everything else after his sentence alot easier to put in perspective.

ya that comment was completely fucktarded..

seriously though, that setup is dangerous

i absolutely hate the videos you posted, but i'm laughing.. sledgehammer/athlete one make me cringe.

LOLZCAKES.
