make sure if your doing step ups to try to not use the opposite leg..also try bulgarian split squats they are killer

ya, dorsiflex the foot on the ground hard, that'll diminish (somewhat, not completely) toe'n off on that leg. I don't like momentum on that either.

I prefer walking lunges over bss, but both are good.

cool set up adarq, you should make a more detailed version in your performance log, something similar to the jackm split post maybe? IDk just a thought

ya i need to drop a blog post, havn't done one in a while.

Why prefer the walking lunge over bss adarqui? I've done both but have probably dedicated more time to progressing on the BSS. I'd say the walking lunge is definitely safer than a barbell bss (balance can be an issue for some). I know it's probably minutiae, just interested.

a few reasons why I prefer walking lunges:
- the forward travel instead of vertical with bss
- the "ADA" component, there is a "drop" when you reach out with the front leg and land in a lower ROM, this causes a greater recruitment of mu's once you hit the ground..
- the ability to drive the back leg up when going into the next lunge
- stability/form is more natural than bss

that's pretty much all I can think of right now.. those are my most important reasons.

peace man

Oh and the cardio equipment is mostly used by the coaches :)

yes! some1 knows what i am talking about...if your a pro athlete why even waste your time with a treadmill? seriously go out there and sprint

they do TONS of sprinting during practices.. those treadmills could be used for warmups/cooldowns or for people who need extra cardio.

hhaha to the comments :d

i dno, this was a harmless snake.. i know the type, ive had them before when i was young.. i'd catch them and feed them etc then release them.

possums are weird as hell, i mean, you hear stories of them being all crazy and stuff, but i've seen them to be total pussies at night.. i think it's cause i'm stalking them, they freak.. anyway these owls are badass at night, they actually stalk me from all angles, watching me.. i was surprised it swooped down on the possum and was pecking at it.. possum started making these screeching sounds.

LBSS, ya i woke up real heavy yesterday, even after "losing some weight" i was still 165 it was odd.. i have a feeling though that i'll be about 162-163 when i go measure in a second.

peace

It's interesting how his left palm is on the right side of his body at 00:09 when he jumps.

ya that seems to be a motor pattern involved with his high jump, as if he would be going over the bar.

ok weird shit..

- i see 1 shooting star pretty much every night, but tonight I saw 4.

- after the second shooting star i saw, south-west, it fizzled, then pretty much the entire south-west sky lit up neon blue.. that shit was fucking insane, wtf? i'm serious too this was very odd.. i kept looking in that direction all night to see if there was any lightning or ANyTHING, nothing..

- then i come across a snake on the sidewalk, about 12" long, sidewinding itself away from me, at an astonishing 0.5mph.. that thing was fleeing for it's life and it was going slower than a worm.. i stomped my foot to the right of it and made it go left, then stomped left and made it go right, etc.. unbelievable how slow it was.

- at the end of my workout i see a possum, so i crept up on it, stood there, and it didn't even see me i was like 5 feet away from it on pavement while it was on grass.. so it walks by me, i wait until it gets like 10 yards away, then i full speed sprinted at it and freaked it out so crazy.. then an owl swept down and started 'attacking it', don't know wtf it was doing..

very eventful night............... lol

As for the depth jumps, I think the only positive part on a depth jump onto a box vs a depth jump to touch something high is the diminished GCT for the on the box depth jump. Now that's shouldn't really be the focus of depth jumping, but it still is something you can use for some people.

Why do you think the GCT is lower for depth jumps onto boxes?

ya they definitely are lower than dj's for height, there was some data produced on this topic by Joel at TVS during his master's thesis.

This guy looks like DeFranco in a Rafer Alston+Dave Chappelle body. But he's pretty solid in what he talks about (hence the DeFranco allusion).

ahahah

Probably because you're even less reactive/you're not yet aware of how to use a shorter last step/you learned to reach out to the rim from basketball.

how do i use a shorter last step?

you just have to practice it, alot, using proper drilling.

Those head jump pictures are insane man! You are getting up ridiculously high lately! Hope you will set PRs again soon!

thanks man, appreciate it.. i hope to fly tomorrow! this little peaking block im on has me feeling great, tomorrow should be good.. only thing is i'm 165 somehow haha.. my legs have been getting huge though so it's ok, but i definitely put on a little bit of fat back on my stomach, i definitely don't have low bodyfat genetics.

NATURAL GHR: 10 x 5
- 10 sets of 5, adjust according to fatigue but always glutes squeezed + neutral back, never cheating on form
- NOTES: very strong tonight on ghr, went midway on most reps, even fought through some > 10 second reps to raise up.


Nice job man. Yeah 10 second reps must be brutal. Should get one full one in not time, keep it up.

thanks man, i've started to realize though that focusing on a full one could be a bad idea.. i mean, it really rips my hamstring insertions hard, those tendons get wrecked.. i just have to keep hammering away at this partials at whatever 'depth' i can go, and just let that strength happen over a long time.. those negatives on ghr wrecked me up so bad.. it's kind of similar to how deep squatting wrecked my hip so then i just said F it and went half squat..

we'll see though!

peace man
