It looks so weird... won't your quad tire like crazy doing that? Won't you "not achieve" hip extension doing that? It's crazy how much endurance any guy has in his quads vs. me.
Whenever I bike, and I stay straight up on my feet, I lock my knees. It's so easy to stay like that. A friend of mine's always says that it annoys him to see me do that and that I should stay with my knees unlocked, having my quads do the work. But that's crazy talk, it's completely unnatural to me.

I experienced this a while ago too. i completely forgot about it for a couple years though. definitely looking forward to try it out again.
i wonder if it'll still benefit your jump verses your normal approach once you get your movement efficiency back
It probably works the lightest you are. The heavier you are, a 1-2 "step" plant works better, IMO.

I usually stretch the quads/hip flexors during the breaks between sets of other stuff, in the gym. Otherwise I wouldn't stretch. So I go to this incline bench press, and put my knee at the bottom of the chair, and the chair keeps my shin at a 45 degree angle. And there I can stretch my quads/hip flexors etc in all kinds of ways during the breaks between sets of other exercises. I do that every time I go to the gym.

I'm asking both. "Studies" done by the companies that sell the product claim it increases testosterone mildly. But ignoring that marketing, it helps have very interesting dreams, so it improves sleep.

Primetimes are some sort of "straight leg" runs, throwing your legs straight in front of you and pulling yourself across the track.
I personally like the dynamic loaded hip dominant exercises like KB swings (assuming you do them right) because they're both dynamic but they also load you up quite a bit so you feel if you load your posterior chain or your quads. Sometimes it's harder to feel it with just your bodyweight.

He's probably in some kind of chronic fatigue phase right now... reminds me of the Dan Pfaff "acute relieving syndrome" vs "chronic fatigue syndrome" antithesis.

Well, there has to be a solution. Maybe you can do strictly hip dominant work like very heavy kettlebell swings? They would pretty much target everything: power, strength (due to the constant time under tension), fitness, posterior chain activation, you name it, while also taking away focus from your knees and programming you to be more hip dominant. Sounds like the perfect idea.

Wow that guy had a lot of knee bend in his running... wtf... is that normal in long distance running?

Maybe you should do stuff like primetimes on the track that focuses on having a straight leg... so you learn how not to bend at the knee that much. Also, submaximal jumps where you hip snap and KB swings, since they are hip-driven dynamic movements (assuming you do them right and not "squat" them).

You tell me? My back is really bad for the last 6 months... I can't "afford" to miss time training, especially since that keeps me somewhat mentally stable, doing it, thinking about it, planning it etc.
Personally, maybe I should just focus on eating right instead of training. Maybe acole can focus on something similar.
