this afternoon was walking back to the hotel after a funny experience in a series of taxis. beautiful day, slightly irritated at my complete lack of functional tajik or russian, slightly sore in the hamstrings and glutes, and i was bouncing down the sidewalk. strong urge to run.

just now:

- jump rope and stretch/mob x 30 mins
bunch of criss-cross, did 30 double unders at one point and practiced going in and out of double unders.

again, you are too weak to be worrying about shit like that. just do linear progression until you can't anymore. start modest and keep it simple.

you're too weak to be worrying about whether you should add supramax squats to your routine. no offense, so am i. depth jumps are a different story in part because you're not loading your back in the same way as on a very heavy squat and because you're not loading your body to the point where it literally can't come up.

just focus on making your legs stronger through basic means: squat, GHR, RDL, hip thrusts, etc.

I'm trying to improve running vertical most (off two legs) but still trying to do both. Am I supposed to train this differently in the weightroom? I know I'm supposed to practice the technique of running and jumping off two feet often.

nah, as long as you're practicing jumping a lot the gym part isn't as important. i'm not sure i'd set up a microcycle the way you did but i'm not gonna tell you what you're doing is wrong, either.

standing vertical or running vertical? like, are you trying to dunk or do you just want to be able to jump higher from a standstill?

okay, but the first sentence of your post is "bobsledders are the fastest athletes in the world." just saying.

the verdict is that pretty much any cue is context-dependent, and trying to universalize something as vague and ill-explained as "knees out" is a recipe for disaster.

EDIT: also that just because someone uses words like "torque" and "eversion" doesn't mean they actually know what the fuck they're talking about.

yesterday spent 12 hours in the car driving back through the mountains to dushanbe. stretched and went to bed immediately after. cough was back this morning.

just now (wednesday evening):

- warm up

- 1-2 jumps x 6
ME jump followed immediately by another ME jump. coordination spotty on these, will continue to practice as i think they're probably good.

- SL pogo x 5/e,5/e

- DSVJ x a few
got up pretty good on one or two of them

- circuit x 3
-- DB bench 20s x 10 (had to pause in the middle of the last set to cough a lot)
-- DB row 20s x 10
-- DB BSS 8s x 10
-- DB RDL 16s x 10

- circuit x 2
-- DB curl 8s x 10
-- tricep press down 12.5(?) x 10
-- paused decline sit up x 10

- stretch

feels so good.

important article on the "knees out...external torsion" that supple leopard endorses: http://dsstrength.com/2013/11/11/supple-leopards-vs-the-world-my-take-on-the-knees-out-debate/.

i've found all that to be very true in my own experience. the knees-out cue is fine as far as it goes but past a certain point i feel much less stable and also much more stressed in the knee.
