LBSS, there is no "so what?"
Adarq opened up this thread and asked for +/- feedback. i gave my feedback. i can only guess that what u ment, since u didnt clarify, is that u want to hear more about my experience?! i dunno what else to tell u man. i guess i can give sum safety advice.
----Safety----
if air alert or any other excercises cause pain or soreness in the knee area use
1. ice on the knees
2. Bengay type muscle rub
always stretch prior, between sets, and post workout.
a good idea for during workouts is to use knee sleeves/braces and/or jumper knee straps/bands which are designed to improve patellar tracking and elevation by applying mild pressure on the tendon below the kneecap. The tubular insert provides uniform pressure
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
Or just don't do it when the volume gets ridiculous so you don't have to use things that won't help at all. If you have jumper's knee none of that shit is gonna help.
Well, in my bro opinion, having "dead excess weight" messes the proprioceptive signal around. The CNS is like "I ain't gonna allow this limb to move this fast while being this heavy" as it receives signals from the receptors that sit in that particular limb. At least, this is my view on things, but you can take it as the holy word if you want to. You know I'm just never wrong.
You are retarded!
I don't know. It just makes sense for me. By the same token, why does closing your eyes demand a more proprioceptive signal from you when moving around?
Well, for me it does not. When you make a point like that it would be good if you had arguments in favor of it, don't you agree?
Also, I don't understand your question. What is a "more proprioceptive signal"? And what does that have to do with our discussion?
Is it possible to gain weight with a caloric deficit?
NO
Well it could mess up with your proprioceptive ability.
You have said that already but you did not mention by which mechanisms that would happen.
And if you think your bodyweight is a variable to minimize for a higher VJ, you are fooling yourself big time.
So if I'm 6'0 and 300 lbs with a 50% bodyfat I shouldn't think my bodyweight is a variable to minimize for a higher VJ?
No, you should not minimize it, but you should definitely decrease it. Notice the difference.
Can't comment on the single leg stuff, but I don't think that body fat - in reasonable amounts, like up to 15% - plays a measurable negative role in coordination. At least I cannot see why that would be the case.
I watched a video of a guy who progressed into standing and even decline ab wheel rollouts and he recommended against the "wall" thing. Instead, he said you need to do your standing ab wheel rollouts in the beginning on an incline surface or on certain incline benches in the gym.
I watched a video of air up there recommending against lower body strength training. Instead he said to stretch the lower body and do abdominal exercises. Must be true cuz he can dunk really well.
