yeah the discussion in the other thread where dreyth and raptor and t0ddday are arguing about squatting and bodyweight made me think that i probably have pretty weak calves, all things considered.

joint is malformed, no cartilage, bone spur growing on top of my foot. here's a bigger version of the image (NB this is from 5+ years ago, it's probably worse now):

MORNING
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee, right toe
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- skater jump x 10,20
- one-step RVJ x 5,5
first three reps of second set were pretty good
- DLRVJ x 5 w/vest
got out to three steps and could not get organized. took vest off.
- DLRVJ x 10
mediocre, best was probably 34.5. but the fact that my mediocre days are the same as last year's good days is great.
right knee bugging.
- foam roll and stretch
EVENING
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee pretty bad
MENTAL STATE: tired
- warm up
- one-step RVJ x 5
- DLRVJ x 1
CNS shut second jump down, knee bugging too hard
- MB OH toss x 5
totally wacked out. what a wasted week from a training standpoint. toe is bothering me again now after the workout, to boot.

two things:
1. you don't do exercises like bounds for their own sake. you do them because they teach your body something. you just started learning how to do them. be patient.
2. improvement doesn't have to be - and in fact rarely is - linear. you might struggle to get technique right for bounds for a while and then all of a sudden something clicks and you get a 50cm improvement all at once. you follow my journal, you know how long i was at 33-34 on my "good" days and then how suddenly that jumped up by 2-3 inches.

arthritis. usually it's just at low-grade background discomfort and it limits my ROM pretty severely, and i've adapted my gait and movement so that i avoid stressing my toes too much. but for whatever reason the last few days it was absolutely killing me, radiating pain up into the rest of my foot. happens once in a while. feels okay this morning, knock wood.
ETA: my avatar is an x-ray showing the arthritis.

not the NSA, no. chilean women, though: yes. i dated a chilean for a couple of years. hot and freaky. she went full evangelical christian after we broke up. weird.
recommendation: do not get arthritis in your toes. it sucks. right foot has been killing me off and on this week.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Kingfush: SVJ 2-hand dunks 2.0
« on: April 20, 2016, 02:13:45 pm »This discussion makes me wonder about a hypothetical scenario:
- Athlete weighs 200lbs, squats 2x bw
- Athlete cuts down weight
- Athlete weighs 175lbs, squats 2x bw still
How would his DLRVJ, SLRVJ, and SVJ been affected, assuming all other factors were held constant?
depends.
