Well, he did say "changes the stiffness of human tendon-aponeurosis complex in knee extensors". In a hip thrust hold, there isn't too much knee extensor activity other than stabilizing etc.

How about what I'm doing here:

The aim of that was just good ol' plain ISO strength. Rep time is ~20s.

If you don't overdo it, you're probably going to gain more by having a more glute driven squat than you'd lose by tendon stiffness adaptations, if any, that will occur in my opinion.

Well it's no coincidence that the irradiation effect comes from the core (although it's not limited to that).

This is interesting:



These articles rock. Makes me think of Schroderisch LDISOs.

Man these guys are some FAT seals...

I like this:

Maybe you should try some left handed dunks... or dribble dunks? I'd like to see you dunk off one leg off the dribble... that would be easier to do in games.

Ridiculous. I like how you pull your legs in when you drop the bar deadlifting :highfive:

I think you can do deadlifts with bar drops at the top while in-season, since they're going to be 100% concentric and will not create too much soreness. And since you're in-season you're going to have a lot of plyo so it's going to be plyo+deads.

Ridiculous. Wonder if she'll try double arm swings for the bounds.

Also, she could probably have that heel run a bit more towards the butt and don't let it hang back when she sprints. You know, "imagine it's a glass wall at your back" kind of thing. At least, this is what I see in terms of possible improvements.

Kelly, what do you think about my DJs + deadlifts idea? DJs should take care of the quads+calves and deadlifts of the posterior chain. And yes, I'm aware of TUT and CNS differences between this and using squats, but still...

Obviously it depends on what you're aiming for (strength, mass etc), although these things depend on other factors as well (food, rest times etc) but as a general idea, do you think depth jumps + deadlifts can be a valid replacement for squats?

I set it at 335lbs and it was tested the Friday before week 1, which started on Monday.

So 335 was your true 1RM or was it lower? If so, what was the gain on Smolov?

By the way - is this what you did? http://joeskopec.com/smolov.html
