Yeah I think when doing bodyweight stuff is the moment when we give the least amount of respect to the exercise and just go through the motions, basically ignoring the TUT, the intensity of the exercise etc etc etc.

Instead of focusing on having very good tension and also time under tension, we tend to mock bodyweight exercises and go through them fast and finish the set very quickly. No wonder they "don't work".

Ah, damn. Sorry about that. I hope it works out for you. And yes, I know it's none of my business.

Everybody is a beast on steroids.

Nice job on those slow tempo exercises. Sometimes when I do slow tempo work I feel like cheating a few reps and going faster just to rest (lose tension for just a bit), not sure if it happens to you too.

 

I was at 67 kg up until 21 years old (when I weighed 64 kg). Skinny fat, no abs.

For me, I naturally have sucky pushing muscles (triceps, quads, chest, shoulders) and naturally good antagonists of these muscles (biceps, hamstrings, back) but at the same time, at least as far as the lowerbody goes, I USE the weak muscles more than the strong ones (since I'm in pretty excessive anterior pelvic tilt).

Also tiny wrists and ankles here and small chest. I have pretty beastly pulling strength, especially if I use a very narrow grip (maybe since that limits the contribution of the posterior deltoids?).

I'm not really taking creatine anymore, just every now and then, but I stopped about a week ago so I have no idea if it's out of the system or whatnot.

Considering all this, these are good reasons why I always thought you should be a good one-leg jumper and practice that instead of those ugly two-leg jumps... it stills remains a mystery to me why you're not. Obviously there are differences but you look to me like the kind of guy that has the potential to go up pretty good off one leg.

You have focused a ton on squats though without any calf or too much plyo work so...

We're pretty much have the same body apparently... I'm at 6'0, weigh ~85 kg (probably 86) and my waist is 89-90 cm.

You might have more upperbody muscle/strength (at least in the pushing muscles) and I might have more lowerbody muscle, and probably move overall muscle since I weigh a little more, but I might also have a bigger bodyfat... so... who knows?

What's the tempo on the deep squat?
