this afternoon was walking back to the hotel after a funny experience in a series of taxis. beautiful day, slightly irritated at my complete lack of functional tajik or russian, slightly sore in the hamstrings and glutes, and i was bouncing down the sidewalk. strong urge to run.
just now:
- jump rope and stretch/mob x 30 mins
bunch of criss-cross, did 30 double unders at one point and practiced going in and out of double unders.

again, you are too weak to be worrying about shit like that. just do linear progression until you can't anymore. start modest and keep it simple.

you're too weak to be worrying about whether you should add supramax squats to your routine. no offense, so am i. depth jumps are a different story in part because you're not loading your back in the same way as on a very heavy squat and because you're not loading your body to the point where it literally can't come up.
just focus on making your legs stronger through basic means: squat, GHR, RDL, hip thrusts, etc.

« on: November 17, 2013, 12:22:56 am »I'm trying to improve running vertical most (off two legs) but still trying to do both. Am I supposed to train this differently in the weightroom? I know I'm supposed to practice the technique of running and jumping off two feet often.
nah, as long as you're practicing jumping a lot the gym part isn't as important. i'm not sure i'd set up a microcycle the way you did but i'm not gonna tell you what you're doing is wrong, either.

the verdict is that pretty much any cue is context-dependent, and trying to universalize something as vague and ill-explained as "knees out" is a recipe for disaster.
EDIT: also that just because someone uses words like "torque" and "eversion" doesn't mean they actually know what the fuck they're talking about.
