why would you give up on PPs that fast? if you lack stability and a rock solid core and feel that PPs challenge those, then maybe do some light PPs at least in part to help overcome those weaknesses?

« on: December 05, 2014, 05:49:50 pm »LBSS is right, the best way to jump quicker/with less dip is to go jump that way. Look at KF, he can jumpsquat a fuck ton im sure but id he curious what his vert it with almost no "dip" compared to hos normal SVJ. Id bet its remarkably lower in comparison since hes never trained for it (that I know of). And now im actually quite curious! KF...wanna try it?
KF's SVJ dip is one of the deepest i've ever seen. it's ATG. he'd jump way lower with a smaller dip, i guarantee it.

jump squats are basically GPP, just a bit more specific to jumping than regular squats. the point of jump squats is not to train yourself how to jump in a game, the point is to train your leg muscles to generate more power. you can produce more power over a bigger ROM, and more power is good. the fact that you will never almost never in practice use that full amplitude is irrelevant.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: Do we have any info on stretching/foam rolling affecting the stretch reflex?
« on: December 05, 2014, 09:15:26 am »Because there's a loss of stretch reflex when you're too flexible - you don't benefit from it anymore. If you're still explosive it's because you're strong, not because you still benefit from the stretch reflex at the level of people that aren't as flexible as you. But this applies in something like ballet or whatever.
yeah i'm with matt, i'm not sure this makes sense.

the floor the scale is on also makes a difference. my bathroom scale gives different readings in the middle of the floor vs against the wall.
