What would you say is the difference in terms of pure training effect in doing very high single respons jumps like the video I posted and doing say shorter hurdles but multiple jumps?

Yeah if you think about it, if you're doing your reps explosively then you're still recruiting the fast twitch fibers, even though the weight is lighter than the traditional say 5RM, and when your acceleration becomes worse that's a sign that they got tired so the other, slower fibers (motor neurons) get activated to suplinate, which is just a sign for you to stop.

Blessing in disguise, eh?
Remember me to pretend I have a SI injury next time I squat. Oh wait, I actually do! I had one a few months ago were it would take me around 5 minutes to get out of bed. Not really, but around 1 minute in "literal" time. And even so, a few lightning bolts would've still strike my back, all coming from the left SI. I could not bend forward (as in a hamstring stretch) lower than the knee without feeling pain in my upper portion of my left buttock.
Self diagnosis told "piriformis syndrome". It eventually passed away but very hard. The reason for the injury was calf raises on a Smith Machine (barbell), because I needed to put something exactly underneath the bar to increase the calf raise ROM and if it wasn't perfectly aligned, you'd do them with a bent back. Even a little would make a big difference. And to re-rack the ... "bar", you'd need to bend and twist at the waist.
Never doing that again.

« on: June 29, 2011, 03:33:37 am »what would "way before failure" be?
It would be at the first sign of decreasing speed of the current rep vs the previous.
So if I do 5 "piston" reps and on the 6th my speed slows down (but it's not a grinder) I stop. This means I'm going to do sets of 6 (in this scenario) with a weight I can probably do around 8-10 reps if I grind it out.

« on: June 28, 2011, 04:40:05 pm »I'm going to have an opinion against roids now, because I have such an opinion as well.
I think the most important thing is sports is to create/mold/strengthten the mentality to work to win. That is what you lose/don't obtain when you take roids. You take the easy way out and you don't have a winning mentality. When you work hard and fight to increase your strength, increase your performance through the "traditional methods" you gain that work hard mentality and you "expect" to win. You work hard and WANT to win because you worked so hard and failing to win after such a hard work SUCKS, and if you lose you come back again and again and FIGHT.
This is the whole idea with sports and training. And this is what roids will usually rob you of. That's why roid people usually are losers and weak.
But from a pure performance standpoint, roids are cool. However, since we don't live in a vacuum, that's hardly the case in realife: to split performance and mentality and other sports aspects into separate, living enthities.
That's my point of view to sports in general and just winning mentality.
So I definitely agree and believe and KNOW what Steven Miller is saying. Heck, I know a few guys like that. They just pretty much suck.
EDIT: These guys just look at me like "wtf" when I deadlift ~120 kg or squat 120kg, pretty much in shock. How lame is that?
How can you negatively rate this ^^^
It's the truth.
