It's perfect form alright. More in the tank as well, it looked way too easy.
And your voice will always sound different recorded than in your head.

« on: February 19, 2011, 06:55:53 pm »Btw, if youre squatting deep enough, it is highly likely that your deadlift will go up along with your squat, if you only deadlift it is not as likely that your squat will go up in the same fashion.
Definitely, since a "good" deadlift is like a 1/4 squat, so it doesn't have as much (if any) carryover to a full squat as a full squat does to a deadlift.
The point is - could a deadlift and deadlift alone be used to gain muscle/strength (forget about jump specificity and all that, just pure muscle)?
Because, if it can, then you can just deadlift to gain muscle and do plyos to tweak and tune that muscle to act explosively.
For example, if you were to do depth jumps followed by deadlifts, then you'd get quad and calf stimuli by depth jumping, and also much more specificity than a squat for jumps, and deadlifts for the posterior chain as muscle growth stimuli.

It's simple: imagine your torso was 5 meters tall. Would a barbell BSS be easy?
The further away from your center of gravity or the point of control is a weight, the harder it is to control.

Good point. Wonder why he/she wasn't holding that pole over her head or on the shoulders.

« on: February 19, 2011, 08:31:54 am »I was about to say that's not really that impressive, I thought he had only one weight vest on, but 3? WTF? You can't know how much they weigh though...
its 305lb all.
just read the youtube description...
I did bss with a 230 lbs barbell, i think it's harder than using vests and dbs...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUmtj15rk9I" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUmtj15rk9I</a> < this is 220 lbs but i also did them with 230
imho barbell makes it easier because of the better weight distribution and therefore more balance
Are you crazy boy? What's easier to stabilize, a weight close to the ground or a weight far away from the ground?

P90X is silly. If you want to become an athlete you better train like one!

I have the same problem. I do for example my first set of benches with 55 kg and do 10 reps. Then my 2nd set is around 5 reps after a 45s break.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: LR vs RL plant for Dunking
« on: February 18, 2011, 06:23:48 pm »
My sincere advice is to have someone film you while you play. You can then observe what's your natural plant by looking how you plant when you jump for rebounds, blocked shots etc because you're acting on instinct there and not thinking about how to jump.
