I like the squats. You should progress towards depth jumps though to achieve full triple extension/take off.

I assume you practiced your two-footed jump a lot during that period.

Yeah I know, the original plan is strength train (5-8 reps) for a few months (already past that period), then go with MSEM and power training, then go with pretty much all out plyo in preparation to summer. That is sprint based, with bounds and depth jumps as accessory exercises.
I've trained way too long with 5-8 reps, I want to go with some power training, I haven't ever done that.

I think running from the cops is level 7 training, so that explains their athleticism.
Problem solved.

That's because the guys who smoke it are "thugs" and guys with "criminal" nervous systems... you know, people that don't really pay much attention to study and are just "nervous" and "rebel". You're probably going to say I'm not making much sense but if you think more, you'll see that I am.
They smoke it because their personality and mindset in life is about being "aggressive" and "defiant". So it's their nature that gives them hops, not the marijuana.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Return to volume/strength work or continue with MSEM/power?
« on: February 27, 2011, 03:19:57 pm »
It's snowy outside and I have already started doing MSEM/jumpsquats/depth jumps in terms of training. Now my idea was to do strength work during the winter, then transition into power during spring and play during summer, reaping the benefits of my winter/spring work during games (streetball).
Now I'm in a dilemma: should I return to volume work to increase muscle size/strength, or should I continue with MSEM/power, hopefully tweaking my gained strength to be more explosive. I've never really done explosive work for too much time... and my plan is to finally do it. I will do it anyway, but maybe I should get with a 3x5 on the squats twice per week going for a little more muscle size... not sure.
What do you think?

That jump has to be over forty, no doubting that.

Next I want Casey Combest.
Then why don't you put him in here yourself?
Wow. You were smart enough to actually think of that and I wasn't. Amazing.
I don't put him because I can't find any video of him.

You also have to think like this:
How you can jump faster: with your bodyweight or with additional weight on you, like a weight vest or a barbell? So basically, improving your strength will make your bodyweight be a lower % of your max 1RM, and a lower percentage is easier to move/jump. Period.

Getting better hams will probably help you jump faster/extend faster at the knee, since the CNS will "know" (in lack of a better term) it can allow a faster knee extension because the hams are powerful enough to stop the knee from hyperextending (act as brakes). So therefore, at least in my opinion, your knee extension power will improve.

215 Total.
wow what? seriously??
Yup. I think my education/childhood stays at the base of that. My dad used to beat me whenever I was doing any little mistake etc (probably good subject for "the hole" forum or something now that I'm saying it) so it just develops that "fear" of doing any mistake and weakens your mind as heck. If you pan that to ~10 years of that non-stop in terms of "environment", you better believe it's going to affect you big time.
