well, there's a difference between training sets and all-out or ME sets. i wonder if this woman is more controlled in ordinary work sets.

nope. stand behind the line, jump, measure to the back of your heel. so:
heeltoe|----JUMP-----|heeltoe
the space between the |'s is your distance.

do not try to replicate other people's plants. try to do YOUR plant as well as you can. that is the essence of what merrick was saying in the other thread.

okay then. couple things:
1. you can't "find back" something. you can find it (or, in this case, find it again), or you can get it back. native speakers with different dialects (looking at the australians), feel free to correct me, but those words just don't work together like that in american.
2. "the movements groove" doesn't quite work. did you mean "the movements' grooves" (i.e. the grooves belonging to the movements)? because that would be odd but technically correct.
3. because of the way "groove" is used idiomatically, that whole construction is just not something that a native speaker would come up with. that's why it's so interesting: it makes sense, it absolutely gets the idea across, i'd just never think to string those words together in that way. i'd go with, "getting back in the groove," and if i wanted to be clear that i meant it in the "greasing the groove" sense i'd add "of the different movements."

hey man i'm sorry to offend you or come across as aggressive. it's from a place of love, in general and also specifically of how language works, how our brains work. i'm fascinated by the way nonnative speakers speak english (and even by the way different native speakers speak), so it's fun for me when you or raptor or scooby posts something that's absolutely understandable but not quite a construction that any native speaker would make. same goes for myself when i speak spanish, noticing the mistakes that i make or the things i'm not quite sure how to say now that i've lost the near-native fluency i had 6-7 years ago.
no idea comments like that bothered you but i'll lay off them if so.
ETA: i actually am kind of a grammar nazi, or, really, a plain/clear language nazi, but only at work. and i work with a lot of nonnative speakers, so a big chunk of my job is cleaning up formal writing. in informal communication the only thing that matters is that people understand each other. the rest is nitpicking. i happen to enjoy the nitpicking, but it's a niche hobby.
ETA2: if you are interested i'll tell you why that phrase stuck out to me, but if not i'll just shut up.

yeah, it means rest-pause. so do the 15 reps, take 4-5 breaths, do 5 more, repeat. each mini-set should be challenging for the scheme to be effective, borge fagerli recommends going to within one rep of failure on the first set and then doing mini-sets until you can't hit the target number of reps anymore. that's how i usually do it, just decided to shoot for 30 total reps today instead. not sure why. it's a way to get a decent amount of moderately heavy reps in, quickly.
