Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Who would jump higher and why?
« 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.

No they are not, it's the CNS that has adapted to fire the electrical impulses better.

Haha, for the first second or so in the video I was like "hm, wonder what kind of layup this guy will do". That is - if I were to ignore the video title.

That's great too, but well beyond my current level I guess.

If you fall into depression and go on the way of drugs, those drugs that create dependence, then it's out of your control at that point. You're going to LIVE for the drug itself. The only thing you will really care about is how to take your next dose.
Are you doing yourself a huge disservice getting your first dose? Yes. But from that point on you become another kind of person/animal and you can't really be held responsible since your whole physiology changes, behavior etc.

But do you see an actual use of this? Or just wasted time and effort? I feel it's great to teach you control over eccentric movements and that should be great for one-leg jumping. The more you're accustomed with controling yourself under high tension eccentrics the better you CAN be jumping off one leg.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Sprint deceleration
« on: July 23, 2011, 07:08:26 pm »
Quick question: what do you guys think about sprint deceleration as an actual exercise. I like it very much but every trainer I know swears against it. Not sure why.
I usually like to ACTIVELY decelerate after I finish my sprints. They will say you need to decelerate relaxed blah blah blah on a period of the same length your sprint had (so for 30m you will stop in 30m or maybe even more) and stuff like that.
Well I don't. I like to really load my quads during the deceleration and use it as an exercise in eccentric control and strength. I think it's just great for that. So I don't see why all the trainers are against it.

Natural selection
I'm not sure it's that easy to judge. It shouldn't be at least. You don't know anything of her life and what was going on. Once the drugs grab you from an early age you're sometimes out of your own control in your actions.
She was in control when she started taking the drugs and she was fully aware of the dangers. And she said no no no to rehab.
You'd say no no no to rehab too if you'd be a drug addict.

Yeah bro!
The thing is - I don't know how that energy is going to be used in terms of time.
That's why I wonder why Andrew eats carbs today for tomorrow. How do you know what you eat today is going to be available for you as energy tomorrow? How can you know they're not going to be converted to fat by then, or that their energy value was lost during the night and next of the day up until the athletic event and so on and so forth.

To me, any death of any kind sucks hard. It's basically a victory of nothingness vs life. Doesn't matter if it's a human being or a fly.
