basically the same height, eh? damien sits back so much more.

+1

Much better hip load for Damienz, but it was expected from Adarqui to be extremely quad dominant on these.

I just feel like if adarqui would learn to gather his hips better, plant forwards more etc and make that adjustment, he'd jump so much higher... (I'm sure he's going to disagree)

Well yeah, I consider full squats a GPP exercise and half squats more of a SPP exercise, since they are more specific to jumping and you can play with the load a bit.

Beyond any of that, half squatting (slightly above parallel, NOT PARALLEL) is 100x more specific to vert/power based athletic movements than is deep squatting.

Isn't weighttraining always just GPP for the non weightlifter-athlete?
At the end it shouldn't matter how the strength was obtained...

so then why would it matter if strength is obtained in a deep squat vs half squat?

Hahaha, I bet adarqui had sweet dreams after this.

what  are some achilles tendon to calf length ratios for some elite jumpers and sprinters? what ratio would be considered "high cut" calves?

Would high cut calves count as the calf being less than the tendon length?

WTF? :ninja:

Who said I am? The fat thing will resolve by eliminating sugars and going into sprints etc, and right now I'm downloading some Pavel Tsatsouline "Loaded Stretching" video... will see what it does.

But my flexibility is decent enough. There are some areas that are really lacking but... (like the hip flexors/abs and upperbody stuff, Kelly said something about them but I don't remember exactly what was the culprit - I always hurt in my abs when I jump off two feet, on my right side)

I just hate mobility work, stretching I hate it from the bottom of my heart. It's like I'm a retarded women in a pink compression short doing aerobics and counting 1-2-3-4 while stretching. I mean wtf? I hate it. I HATE IT.

Brr... just thinking about it makes me shiver.

And even if I wasn't hating that, I can't think of a good mobility routine/I find that useless. So...

I don't know, it just blows my mind (the one that's still in there). I mean, the contrast between the "killing machines" and the way they behave there just brings tears to my eyes (in a literal way). It's just... "deep" phylosophically if you will.

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.
