Haha, yeah I remember those BSS and deadlift videos. If you talk stuff too much, you might force me to use the heaviest dumbbells available in my gym, which are 50 kg.

Pics, Videos, & Links / Wide bar grip on squats
« on: March 03, 2011, 01:22:50 pm »
Why do all the powerlifters use a wide (extremely wide) grip when squatting? It's beyond my understanding.

Like this:

He's the next Hickson is Hickson is the next Magnusson?

Have you ever noticed how all the "World Strongest Men" have the name "Magnusson"? Like Magnus ver Magnusson.

Yeah my explosiveness just exponentially lowers with weight added. For example, with an empty bar I get so high... yet with 30 kg I don't get high at all. Same with snatches. With an empty bar I do them explosive enough. Give me 30 kg and it's all shoulders, non explosive etc. It's annoying and I can't find a logical reason for that.

Basketball / Re: acquille carr goes for the dunk
« on: March 03, 2011, 10:54:08 am »
I finally see a small guy choosing to go with a one leg jump (albeit missing the dunk on this one). I rarely see small people choosing the one-leg jump (almost never).

Fuck, sorry to hear about your grandpa. That has to be so hard, I mean seeing him like that again and again... I just won't comment anymore on that subject unless I want to post in the emo thread.

Yeah I probably should've gone with 20 kg. The problem I see is that I kind of go towards the toes/quads when I load and land, although I try to do my best to keep it hip loaded on both the take off and landing. My heels just come up and that's annoying.

Yeah that sounds good. So you're not currently doing and sprint technique work, like teaching you how to move, how to "step" on the ground, what the proper mechanics are etc?

Yeah that's a good point. If I bend forward while doing the BSSs I load the quad anyway, so...

By the way - does anybody have any comments on my 1-2 jump squats in terms of loading/rebound speed etc?

By the way - I kind of like to do my BSSs "close" so I get more quad into it. I view it as a quad assistance exercise and not posterior chain, so I do them with a close stance, and with the knee bending quite a bit. I did enough of them really spread out.

Probably Alonzo, Karl Malone and David Robinson in the past. And don't forget Robert Pack. Oh, and Corey Maggette.

Yeah it's tough to explain... you just look more "mobile" and without any weak points... you just look like a complete athlete in these stills. This is the first time I see you as that if I'm to be honest. Before, you just looked "fine". But in these, you look "complete". If that makes sense. Not sure what's going on. Maybe lack of sleep is good. :P
