ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Plyos + bodyweight training?
« on: May 20, 2012, 12:40:47 pm »
Hey Lance,

I'd like to give my body a break from all the heavy lifting and also make some money economy at the same time.

If I won't go to the gym for a while I plan on doing a 5-day bodyweight strength training workout consisting of weighed (24 kg KB) pistols, single leg RDL with the 24 kg kettlebell, KB swings and upperbody lifts like pushups and pullups/chinups and some dips.

I wonder how detrimental or maybe favorable would this be for me... it could help me build up some more endurance as well since it sucks so hard right now.

Also, considering I won't really be doing any real quad-dominant exercises (and a ton of posterior chain dominant exercises) that could really help break into my heavy quad-dominated movement I suppose.

What do you think about it?

I know, but these things don't eliminate each other out.

Squat 424

Whoa.  You were beyond those a month or 2 ago, even without the suit (I think)....what happened?

Nah man. These are my raw PRs. Had 484 squat with knee wraps and belt and 605 DL in suit.

Yeah but where's your abz at bro?

When I said "failure" I meant "athletic failure" not" life failure" and I still maintain that. I think you were at an efficiency point where if you weren't so obsessed in staying so light and were just to get up JUST A BIT in bodyweight and increase your squat a lot in the process you would've gotten higher and higher in your jumping. I know you probably don't agree saying that being heavier made you feel bad etc but...

Seriously, I'm not the kind of guy that forgets easily (in fact, I don't forget pretty much anything) so... I still remember and respect all the work you put on, all the effort helping other people for free, all that. I think these days people forget stuff extremely easy which is dissapointing but whatever.

So what have you learned since you quit?

OK, so I was at a street junction and there was this beggar that walked on the street and begged for money... and then he was hit by a cab and got stuck under the car. So the cab driver got out of the car and started you know, to cry and all that, and I asked him how the street is named so I can call the emergency etc.

And while I was doing that, people started to fall out of the sky and hit the ground really hard. And they were falling all over the place. I looked up and there were people in the trees everywhere. So I looked straight up and there were a few right over me so I started to run because they started to fall and were about to break me apart.

One of the wickest nightmares I've ever had.

Hating on innocent animals is pretty much what a narrow mind does. If you're to hate, hate on pitbulls and their "masters". Oh wait, they're dogs so they're pretty much Christ reincarnated. Right. Forgot about that.

Obviously if adarqui has a dog and not a crow, it's so much different. Because he says so. LOL

Seriously, don't make me answer all you wrote. Let's just forget about this thread.

what about narrow minded people who START shit with other people, out of nowhere?

I wasn't trying to start anything. It's just... "unfortunate" that "we" lost a guy who was on a good path toward proving that athleticism is actually trainable and not all out genetic.

I completely agree, but the trick is identifying what the weakness is and then choosing and correctly executing the right exercise to combat that.

It probably is bad... it's probably your body deciding to do that to compensate for some weakness/structural stuff. Don't know.

Haha, I knew I'll start a rampage as soon as I wrote that ;D :ibjumping:

However Andrew... you said you're going to hit your head on the rim and you didn't => failure. I never said anything like that => not failure. You have to admit that. At least I haven't given up like you did.

To me, you getting into programming is your way of saying "I know I can't do it, I give up, I'll pretend I'm being passionate about programming now so I have an excuse" - that's the way I see it. Obviously you can be genuinely interested in programming but I think, even in that situation, there's still a part of you searching for an excuse for your failed "hit my head in the rim" "promise".

So feeling guilty, you come in and write low-blow messages about me. Hey, if it makes you feel better...
