wow you have very little dip compared to me and kf. i wonder if you could jump higher if you spent some time working on a deeper countermovement. there is some experimental evidence to support a correlation between countermovement amplitude and SVJ height.

just a thought, maybe he had a fluke moment..I had some insane jumps when i am super relaxed, like 5-10inches more than normal jump due to being unnaturally calm for no cause

5-10 inches???  :o

I've had that with ~2-3 inches but a 10 inch increase out of the blue from being relaxed.



I'm not attcking you BMully, everyone is different and i just felt like posting the pic  :P

i don't lie, i got super relaxed in a game and almost dunked with 2 hands, head was heigh as hell, this was 8th grade

Yes yes. And I won Mr Olympia. It was just a fluke. Im back to fat now again.

that is a physical change, not possible to do just like that..in times of extreme pressure or extreme relaxation, people can get super human abilities..that is how i grabbed rim as 13year old who could only normally get half way up, this one jump i got rim, then it took a while before i got it legit everytime...the cns is responsible for strength and power, we develope it to allow more, but it is always capable of that power

ya bmully is definitely right about a substantial performance increase, verkhoshansky referred to it as the 'innate (protected) reserves'.. in which access to that strength/force output is restricted, but through years of proper/aggressive training, athletes can keep improving how much they can tap into it at their own will.. i mean, i remember i was jumping shitty say 5 months ago, then that cop pulls me over, and i jumped like 3" higher after alot of fatigue, that wasn't even life or death, but that small adrenaline response/heightened cns arousal lead to some gains..

level-7 = PR city.


True. But claiming a 10" sudden increase is idiotic. Thats like when Rip claimed that crazy crazy sprint time because he saw a spider or something like that. Actually I dont remember if it was Rip, but someone did claim to run a crazy time, faster than world record speed.


btw yes, that was rip that ran a WR after having a spider on him :D

Hehe. I thought I remembered it. :highfive:

Yes, athletic improvement can increase during certain circumstances we all know (Lev 7 MANG). Yes 10 inch vert increase suddenly is about as likely a sudden 100lbs improvement in the bench. And yes this is a long quote, quote, quote, quote, quote. And we all know that rip pr'd becuase that spider was a super duper mega jumping spider, and when in landed on rip, some of the exlposive and elastic qualities of its legs were temporarily fused with rip's Bi-legged frame.



show me the video of ripp doing a wr in 100m after a spider jumped on him

No vid. Only story.

correction, "No vid. Only true story."

Can I quote again? Looks like fun.

Was it fun?

It definitely was, it's like the LEVEL-7 quote training.

This thread is epic. I only pr when running after the bus

I PR when on massive amounts of caffeine & when my legs feel light.

I tend to jump best when a smoking hot bitch will give me something as a result of great dunking ability.

I know, but doesn't that apply to anybody that's heterosexual?

i jump REALLY good when hot chix are around.. i say to myself, "land this dunk and they will leave their pathetic boyfriends for me".

Why would you want a girl that has pathetic boyfriends? Or is this the kind of girl that looks the best?

well, their boyfriends might not actually be pathetic, that's just my perception of them because the sexy female is not with me. They are probably very successful, nice, charitable, respectful human beings, what do i kno.



I doubt they are. From what I know about women, which is very little, they all like guys who beat them and love other women, so these women can cry and think about how great it would be if the guys wouldn't do all these things. :(

possibly, but that illustrates our differing views, you, the pessimist, me, the optimist.

:P

So you're optimistic about your chances to :P a woman?

17 DOLLARS !!!

( only www.verydemotivational.com followers will get this joke but it's 1000% relevant! )


this is my favorite

Hence we can now conclude that the conservation of angular momentum and its vector quantities contribute to the degree of arousal in the average athlete in regards to vertical displacement when performing a veritcal jump, off the running or counter-movement sort.



I thought that was obvious? clearly this convo has all that crap you made up





hahaha! nice pic

Can we continue this thread? #pls

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: weight vests
« on: January 29, 2016, 11:37:46 am »
Ive always wanted to try out a weightvest, especially while playing basketball. I remember reading about weightbelts being better as they dont affect your posture. Also the weight is centered near your center of gravity, so movements arent affected either. Thats the idea at least.

i can't imagine that a belt would stay in place very well. the vest i posted earlier hugs tightly around my chest and so feels very natural, just as if i were 13 pounds fatter than i am. doesn't move around at all and doesn't drag down much on my shoulders.

+1 for distractions and hanging out with people without talking about it.

WEIGHT: 172.8 (170.8 -- no weight vest)
SORENESS:
ACHES/INJURIES: right low back tweaked on squats a little, uh-oh
MENTAL STATE: good, a little slow

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a few
not great but my baseline has clearly moved up. hit 33 easily off one step, couple dunks with the small dodgeball.

- squat 315 x 1,1,1,1
meant to keep going but right low back was off. form was off, even in warm ups i was rocking forward too much. weird.

- hip thrust 295 x 12,12

- ladder x 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1
-- pull up
-- dip

- stretch

4282
just about parallel, it seems to me. if you put your heels up on 5lb plates (or got shoes) you could full squat easily i think.

4283
snowy weekend = gym was closed until today and was only open for a few hours today. as per usual after even a short layoff, i felt weak and slow.

WEIGHT: 191 (172.8 -- more alcohol than normal over the last few days prob accounts for some of this)
SORENESS: right arm from snowball fights, lol
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: fine

- warm up

- SVJ x 6

- DL bound x 4,4,4

- squat x warm up

felt out of sorts, cut it off. back to normal tomorrow i think.

4284
your journal,



welcome back, sorry to hear you had what sounds like kind of a lost season.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: High bar vs Low bar 2.0, by Greg Nuckols
« on: January 26, 2016, 01:15:16 pm »
yeah i'm upright-ish because my body is structured to allow me to do so: short femurs, long torso. it's kind of a hybrid, though, i'm obviously not as upright as i would be if i moved the bar up, or to a front squat. check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03mF1JEpzj4 vs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngkwd5xQSyY

i sort of agree with merrick, except w/r/t the knee stress comment. i really think everyone is a special flower to some extent, and unless you're competing in PL or OL, you should pick the style that gives you the least amount of joint stress/discomfort, regardless of where the bar is placed. for a lot of people that will be HB full squat, but not all.

Was informed this morning in a text message...yea a fucking text, that my wife wants a divorce. Apparently shes been lying for a while about some pretty big stuff and got tired of faking working on our relationship. So....fuck her. Maybe she'll run back to her abusive ex. idk. idc. im not worrying about anyone who doesnt care about me.

oh shit dude, that sucks a lot. sorry.

4289
feel the bern, brah.  :-*

dude please back out of the squat rack. so much safer than walking forward. rep looked good, though.

also, fwiw, merrick is right about body image.
