Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: THE DREAM JOURNAL
« on: February 20, 2013, 01:59:19 pm »
I dreamed that I had this green spider with a big, venom-filled butt. And whenever I tried to kill him he would grow even bigger. I tried to squeeze his head with a fork and his butt grew bigger. I tried to squeeze his butt and his head grew bigger. And then I realized the spider was Satan himself and was invincible. Then I decided to squeeze on his head some more and his butt popped and he died.

The end.

As far as I know, TVS isn't working for more than half a year... what are you talking about?

For me the bluehost appears with ads and all that. No forum whatsoever.

Since when does that apply?

Sounds like the "penalty box" in Star Trek TNG.

LBSS should try harder to do some high bar squats. I did them today ATG (OL shoes definitely helped) and they felt amazing. Such a different leg sensation than the low bar squat, even doing them with a weight like 80 kg like I did today.

I have osgood since 6 or so... it definitely destroyed my chances of being a 2-leg jumper. My right VMO (where I have the condition) is pretty much non existant. No wonder I have all sorts of knee issues.

I think I'm going to switch to high bar squatting for a while and start low. See where that gets me. I hope it will help force some hip flexbility improvements as well as developing the quads better.

I will do this if my knee agrees though.

It depends what your aim is... if you want hypertrophy, less rest is better in order to waste the glycogen reserves and force your body to deposit more (thus increasing you "muscle" size).

Well... it sounds like you're going to need a ton of calf strength and a ton of tendon-based jumping drills. Probably some longer distance sprints/runs as well. Losing UNNECESSARY weight is going to be important to, but you need to decide what you deem as "unnecessary".

The idea is to make you start depending more on the tendons and being able to display power without the need to wind up and load your muscles every time you want to do it. I'm guessing you're really muscle bound now.

It promotes core strength.

Right, that's what I thought.

It promotes prolapses more likely.

I'm not sure I want to know more.

Haha I'm kidding around :P

The question is... what are you trying to obtain with these jumps before actually choosing some exercises?

I'm not clever, therefore I can't help you. Sorry.

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

I really like the "none the less" part.
