Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Kingfush: SVJ 2-hand dunks 2.0
« on: April 20, 2016, 01:58:12 pm »
This discussion makes me wonder about a hypothetical scenario:

- Athlete weighs 200lbs, squats 2x bw
- Athlete cuts down weight
- Athlete weighs 175lbs, squats 2x bw still

How would his DLRVJ, SLRVJ, and SVJ been affected, assuming all other factors were held constant?

Edit: my projected max is 455. At 200lbs morning weight even 450 puts me at 2.25x bw. I planned to hit that goal june 1st. Guess im there already. Planning to start cutting weight may 1st (5ish pounds) hopefully i keep all my strength too. Cant wait to fly. This summer will be the summer i hit 40" inshallah!

Damn it's getting tough trying to retain all this information. I'm going to have finals coming up too, and they will get in the way. Good thing theres a little bit of overlap!

I think yesterday's workout took a lot out of me. I cut out some sets on today's workout. Not exactly a de-load but still. I felt like ending the workout early... but instead of doing that and missing exercises completely, I decide to just lower the number of sets and go through every exercise. I think that's important!

Studied some of the book but not much. What I never skimp out on, though, is reviewing quiz questions and notes.

Will probably join a basketball league in a few weeks! Fuck yeah I'll finally start playing ball weekly. Going to be extremely fun and not only that, I'll get to see how high I can jump now that my strength ratio is the highest it's ever been! Oh and increased movement efficiency (of which I'm probably at my baseline/zero) will help too. Def hitting 40" this summer assuming no injuries.

Schedule will be:

Mon - lower body
Tue - upper body
Wed - bball
Thu - lower body
Fri - upper body
Sat - off
Sun - off

That means I play bball on wed and then squat/RDL on thu. That may be a problem, not sure yet. If anything i'll just swap my upper days with my lower days.

You should do them in the squat rack, you won't be hitting the safeties.

Oh I think youre right! I usually hit the safeties at other gyms but probably won't there.




I weigh 200lbs in the morning after poop n pee though. No longer 196ish. It's just glycogen storage though.
I think starting May I'll go on an official cut and keep a calorie log. Want to get down to under 195. Hopefully I can keep this strength.

435 wasnt a true max at all. Didnt hype up for it. I was nervous though and therefore a bit adrenalized but i could have it it without adrenaline as well. It was very little.

Both PRs. I hit 385x5 on monday as well, but it knees were caving in on last rep of it. This is more solid for sure. On my phone so ill update this post with the full workout tmrw

^ Hey thanks I'll try em out! I never tried neutral grip DB shoulder press before. Only standard grip, which works out my tris way too much to the point where my delts never grew but my tris would overtake them. Same with bench presses, chest never grew. So for the past few years i've taken the tris out of the equation as much as I could: no OHP, just lateral raises, and wide grip benches. I finally have pecs and delts now. Tris are still growing anyway lol.

I stated earlier that i would have liked to do upright rows because i felt like i could progress on them indefinitely (and db shoulder presses just workout my tris too much), but i wouldnt do them due to them wrecking people's shoulders apparently

i found this vid though! I'll give these a shot:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SnVJDt7jts" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SnVJDt7jts</a>

basically do a DB upright row with some external rotation

Haha... what, exam questions revealed?

Yea, exam questions from previous exams. Many are re-used. Even if zero were re-used, it would still help me with the types of questions being asked. This god damn book is 700+ pages!

Learned 119 of 283 cards

Will read another chapter later today and update. Learned a bunch more practice questions. I got ahead of myself now; the practice questions I know the answers to, I haven't even read about those sections yet in the book.

Thinking of adding more practice questions if I can find some more (free) practice tests online. I want to get up to 500 questions. Chances are maybe 2% of those will be on the actual exam, but hey the exam is only 90 questions! That's a free 10 questions I get correct.

Maybe that site raptor linked me to has braindumps?! I just found out what braindumps were.

Edit: ended up not reading a chapter. did go back over my quiz questions though.
