pullups/pushups/bodyweight squats..

i sware my ability to jump has been 'deleted'.. its as if someone stole the program responsible for jumping.. so hard to explain..

on a good note, pullups were very strong and bodyweight squats were fun.. will be doing them daily.

got bored with ghr's.

neutral grip pullups back up near 20... a little fatigue today so i only hit 15.. but i was definitely fatigued.. if im fresh thats near 20 for sure.

peace

Well i just got a new mobile that features 120fps video, that minimizes the error to 1/120 of a second each side , so max error is 1/60 wich is 0,016666.
I would still prefer the highest touch - standing reach measurement , but now highest touch is an aproximation , trying to see from the vid how much i got above a measured rim! 
Im leaning towards the 120fps hangtime thing , jsut wanted your opinion.
Probably gonna use both in next jump session to compare the results, that should be interesting...

whoa.. awesome!!!!!!!!

120fps = fun fun fun.

cool man tell me how it goes.. with video timing, you can always take a few measurements... it would be interesting if you:

- calculated rvj using touch - reach .. touch on rim of course..
- compared that to: video timing of heels barely off ground AND toes FULLY extended right at takeoff... both timed until first contact with ground.

Being an engineer i know well that the hangtime-vert calculation formula is 100% accurate, i even have my own excel version with the local gravity acceleration in the formula.
I was thinking:
The correct way to measure hangtime is to measure the time that the feet are in the air , from the first 'airborn' frame to the first 'touchdown frame'.
But doesnt that mean that we have a different measurement here compared to the normal one ( highest touch minus flat-footed reach )?
Instead of flat footed standing reach we are using 'toes-up' reach!
That would make the vertical measurements different by an amount equal to the flat-footed vs toes-up reach difference, wich would be ~4-5''.

What is your opinion?

well ya because, standing vert is a measure of how much your COM has changed from a flat-foot stand still.. so being up on the toes is changing the COM.. thats why in hangtime vids i always take the frame right before takeoff, still on the toes, but, right before your toes leave the ground.. this takes into account the 0.033s error also.. that gives you more of a vert number that is more similar to a vertec touch-reach.

the 0.033s error on takeoff and landing is the biggest concern with hangtime formula, when using 30fps cameras.. best case you're dead on, worst case you're 0.066s off.


ya it sux though i wish vertec's were ~20$.. vert training with one is so much better.

Probably ~32", which would be a PR.

very nice!

6hrs ski

Legs = toasted.

snow is cool.. i saw it ONE time

Getting to the gym is harder just cause there's so much other shit going on, and then I'll be visiting family for Christmas, which is like a blitzkrieg because my mom's family is so big and spread out. I should be able to get a run in or some hill sprints or something and MAYBE get to a gym. And to be perfectly honest, it's easier to blur the line between legit reasons for missing workouts and excuses. Anyway, full-on workout tomorrow for sure, then Sunday if I'm lucky (gonna be on the road) and next Tuesday, then five days without gym access. Oh well, just gonna get some road workout ideas from Ross Enamait and stay active when possible.

ya man just throw in some sprints, bodyweight stuff, and jumps.. that'd be fine during your time off from the gym.
