Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: chasing athleticism

I don't get videos like this... Why perform some exercise in a strange way to make it impressive. I mean he is doing standing broad jumps. It's not an endurance exercise and they way he is performing it shouldn't cause fatigue. The standing broad jump is already measurable. Just do a standing broad jump. It's like listing them sum of your vertical when you get 3 jumps.... Yah cool but what's your top vertical jump???
Additonlly he gets to slip forward slightly and because we measure toe heel he basically gets a one foot length advantage for two jumps which makes it less impressive. Multiple broad jumps take reactivity and require a shorter landing to facilitate it. Standing broad jump does not. 3 broad jumps are just a sneaky way to do a broad jump
Exactly. Initially when I used to do 2-leg bounds (or 2-leg consecutive broad jumps, in my case) I'd be like wow look how much I gained due to reactivity! when in fact it was the 1-foot added for each bound (it didn't take me too long to figure it out, though).

That's scary... I used to always think about that when I would clean and especially snatch, since I was doing them in a commercial gym with no place to drop it.

I can't believe we're actually talking about this completely obvious thing.

Yeah, they're your secret weapon. It's basically what was missing for you to get really athletic and healthy. You will see their positive effects in the future.

« on: April 15, 2016, 09:39:35 am »6x120kg backsquat and 190kg x 8 jumpsquats?!! this is getting ridiculous... how do you even do these and why on earth would you do jump squats with like 150% of your 1RM?
Helps with supramaximal recr... wait... what am I saying here.
I can't even imagine the amount of risk involved in trying to leave the floor with 190 kg on your spine. It's just ...

« on: April 15, 2016, 03:45:43 am »yeah that dunk club looks cool. reminds me of raptor and nightfly's old videos in the park. does make me realize that i haven't really been hyped for any of my recent PRs. wonder what i could do with a bit more encouragement like that.
I really need to lose weight and get back to that.

Plus, pause at 0:01 at your first landing and look at your head - it looks completely down. Try to look forward.
At least you're not doing this:

On the other hand, you keep the hips high and you look pretty bouncy:
For example, I try to force the issue and I have deep, unreactive landings, so I sacrifice reactivity and form for length, which is bad:

Spent a bit over an hour foam rolling and stretching the shit out of every leg muscle. Feels soooo good! What a dick i am, i should do this much more often.
nice!
how come that seems to always happen to us? we spend time stretching, foam rolling, etc.. feel amazing.. then we stop doing it? heh!@!
Lol smr is like that girl we neglect... Then we really need it and it comes through and we make a note of how great it is but then forget about till we need it again... If we just take care of that stuff often we would be so better off...
"That girl we neglect". Sounds like science fiction to me.

You should do them in the squat rack, you won't be hitting the safeties.

Check out the plant at 0:41, and how his knees go forward so much yet he doesn't collapse into the plant. I would love to be able to do that.
