It promotes core strength.
Right, that's what I thought.

I would like your input on single leg jumping exercises none the less.
I really like the "none the less" part.

It's probably a very big difference in terms of TUT and recruitment between me and you.
I actually kinda shy away from TUT and rush to finish my rep as soon as possible with as little TUT (time under tension) as possible, which negates hypertrophy (the lack of TUT). So I'm "after" efficiency (I should be more after TUT if I want to grow these damn quads).
I also probably am more hip dominant with the knees barely going forward (especially as my body automatically does that to protect my right, hurting knee). These are probably the reasons. I also squat very wide usually.

« on: February 17, 2013, 01:11:33 pm »^Agreed, also remember in general my advice is to switch up the way your are squatting. You have added a bunch of weight to your LBS without VJ carryover (not uncommon) so now try something else. Olympic squats. If the bar is that painful on your traps you might have to try front squatting. You can also invest in one of those blue manta ray things. We are trying to switch up what you are doing with your legs... don't let trap pain get in the way of that.
Interesting though that the pain is so severe, maybe some kind of muscle impingement going on? Or nerve damage?

I'm squatting for 3 years continuously and I'm at 10% of that level of development.

Definitely. The around the world by Ross was Boss, although it wasn't off a Toss and done by Randy Moss.

there it is. It's poor quality but you know about what move I'm talking about. I'm doing this in 4 series / 30 repetition per series

But that's pretty much a hip flexor exercise since the knee angle is held the same... I don't get how that is anyway related to the VMO?

Nah but seriously... this year's NBA dunk contest sucked again... Gerald Green with a 45 inch vert decided to do a dunk that a guy with a 24 inch vert could do.

Huh? How is that even possible? I don't get it. I mean I'd get it from a 200 kg bar but from an empty bar? wtf...
