Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Glute activation during squats
« on: July 25, 2011, 07:08:23 pm »Haha, I know, what I love with BSS is that I can overload the legs without necessarily overloading my back. I can also play with stance length to get different recruitment levels.
Think about it - doing BSS with 40 kg dumbbells (80 kg in total) is like doing bilateral squats with 160 kg in terms of leg stimulation. Now I realize it's more to that than just weight but still, it's just a great thing to do.
The back leg side still contributes significantly in the BSS AFAIK.
Might want to check out the EMG study mentioned here though:

Yeah it does, just by putting your leg out there you're taking out some of the weight off the working leg.

« on: July 25, 2011, 11:42:48 am »BTW guys, I'm the OP and it seems like I just needed some straight up glute exercises to reactivate them or something?
I did BSS on Saturday which got my glutes sore. All of a sudden I started feeling it in my glutes during my dead lifts today, AND a LITTLE bit on my squats lol. Like 4 of the 20 total reps I felt it. I'll keep BSS as a supplementary exercise to keep my glutes active.
Thank you sir.
I'd personally go even further and make the BSS as the MAIN lift in one of my days. I just love it too much right now.

RTFL ( Read The Fucking Log )!!!
SLRVJs : max 28'' , repeatable
You should film them. What happens if you jump up with a ball you can palm (volleyball or basketball, whatever).

You tell me? I suck at right leg pistols - from form to strength to depth, to basically everything.

One of the biggest european prospects right now, not really known as a highflyer though.
Google his stat lines from his u20 games, they're off the charts.

Off the side of the backboard over a car? Pretty nice.
Saw him in Romania at the EDC (European Dunk Contest)... pretty nice, seemed kind of arrogant and all that but whatever.

« on: July 24, 2011, 02:54:30 pm »I don't understand why you would have to feel heavier, i think you would feel lighter, especially if CNS firing improves
If you suddenly lose mass, then yeah.
