wide stance is only for people who plan to be soliciting sex in bathrooms in the minneapolis-st. paul airport

How do you know that precise location? Have you... you know...

I wonder how the T-Nation guys like it now :D

Looking good man. As long as the deadlifts don't interfere with the plyos (meaning - they don't generate too much soreness that limits the plyo days) then it's all good.

I personally can't squat narrow. Even a 1/4 squat with a narrow stance = great knee bend and pressure on the knees.

Definitely for this.

Squat definitely looking good. That guy who commented was spot on. So I guess maybe it's just a matter of getting more efficient at squatting muscularily-wise (in terms of muscular intra and inter coordination, which basically means your body adapting to the exercise until real strength gains start happening).

I wonder how and if your training will change going for a higher SLVJ

Would you say the need for specificity will increase? More lunges/BSSs/one-leg deadlifts or just continue with half squats?

For example, I was thinking about your LTMP thing but I was thinking about using the lunge or BSS instead of the half squat daily for more one-leg specificity...

Powerdunk from today (focus on speed and power):

A matter of technique I think. I'm very similar, I can tap into the glute strength reserves in unilateral strength exercises, whereas in the squat it becomes a quad dominant thing that takes the glutes off and my position/posture sucks hence my squat sucks.

Maybe a video of your squats would help.

For the stepups I use 3 or 4 25 kg plates that fit the small bars (very small bar diameter). These are very stable one on top of another and I can do my stepups there since I don't have boxes.

5651
Yeah I think I come back to what I'm able to do regardless of training, probably just due to structure and technique alone (and just my natural level of strength or whatever).

5652
Yeah we'll see how it goes.

You're familiar with snatches and cleans, is your form good, or will you replace these with jumpsquats?

5653
First off, I can't understand how you aren't able to play ball during the summer. No outside courts near you?

But no, 2-leg jumps should improve if my strength improves, so...

5654
I never regressed at my one leg jump even after 3-4 months of not jumping almost at all... so you might be the same.

Wow really?  this 3-4 months of almost no jumping at all was after some time of making progress?  Or during untrained years?

Well during the winter I don't have a gym to play into, so I limit my training to strength only.

Interesting though isnt it that the black athletes with hips producing power dont stimulate much growth of the gastroc/soleus.
