I still don't get this VMO stuff. For a lot of time I thought the VMO is activated at the top of the squat movement (say 1/8 squat range). Then everybody was talking about how the VMO is actually activated with deep squats. Now, you (Andrew) say it would be stimulated by unracking, so that's the opposite of deep squatting. Not sure what to believe anymore.

No, not really. One of the best things you can do for your jumping is to jump maximally all the time when you play... you start to "expect" jumping maximally and becomes more or less 2nd nature. At least, I think so. Because I'm too lazy to do it.

So Nightfly is smart for jumping 8 inches on his rebound attempts? And being outrebounded at the same time? :P

That's not my problem, my problem is - don't you risk to injure your knees more by taping the ankles. I mean, if I had to choose between an ankle vs. knee injury, I'd choose ankle. So the question is - is this worth it? Do you win more by taping the ankles than what you lose in knee instability?

Weird... it's probably a structural thing in these situations (like having pronated feet and stuff like that) that "promotes" injuries. Otherwise, these people must have a really weak lower leg musculature.

Yeah, Fred Hatfield was exactly what I was thinking about when I wrote this. I don't think anybody knows if this would work or not because nobody tried to high-frequency do it.

You could do weighed crunches + supermans and that's it. Supermans are just back hyperextensions from the floor, with someone holding your legs.

What's up with that? You see everybody with their ankles taped several times in the NBA... wtf? I think that puts the knee to an even more disadvantageous position than just wearing high cut shoes alone. If you combine them both, the knee has to really compensate for the lack of ankle mobility.

why do you care?



Because you can learn from this and apply to yourself. Why do you care about commenting about something you don't care?

I wasn't talking about any shortcut, I was talking about a POSSIBLE stimulating thing. Whether that's feasible or not is debatable, hence this topic.
