Is the left nut your "problem" nut? I mean, I know you don't wanna hear this, but could that be the culprit?

I like the left hand shot with legs kicking...
Is that Dave Tate there? Damn, tell him I won't talk about leg pressing again.

« on: February 12, 2011, 05:48:37 am »
It was like 100% lower back. I mean, my upperbody is parallel to the ground and then I start to raise the bar... what I'm happy about though is that my grip hasn't been limiting me at all, weirdly enough. But because I have a much narrower foot stance when I deadlift vs when I squat, I think that's why I tend to bend forward at the waist (lack of ... what flexibility?)

that's only marketing, lol!
Haha, exactly, I set myself up for that intentionally.

Raptor, really, this is so fucking stupid!
I'm genetically different baby! (quoting Brucie from GTA)
But no, you must be crazy to think that guy is natural. Even adarqui addmited he's probably on roids.

It's called "APLs". Makes you jump 4 inches higher. Banned from the NBA.

« on: February 11, 2011, 01:06:38 pm »
I tend to agree with you in large areas of what you said, but I have personally increased a guy's jump instantly by four inches just by hinting what he should do. He has great strength but he was always jumping "weird", quad-driven etc. I just said to him he needs to throw his legs forward more and use his hips instead of just pushing with his quads that much.
And then he just jumped ~4 inches higher immediately. I was like WTF? I mean really, when I think about it now, that should've been even more shocking than it was. So it works for some people. Not sure if it was some placebo effect where he just said to himself "I'm going to jump higher now, this guy knows his stuff so I'll jump higher" and put more effort into his jump (could've been, who knows?) but he did do what I told him to do in terms of technique and got up higher. It's not like he jumped with the same technique as before and got higher.

« on: February 10, 2011, 04:24:34 pm »Oh, and another thing. You're also not lifting any of your body weight with the leg press machine, which you do in a squat.
Btw, that's something nobody realizes. Go ahead, put on a 30lb weight vest and squatting your 5RM will be much more difficult (even assuming that the vest doesn't get in the way or change your form at all). Leg press takes away stabilization needed, lifting at an angle and thus reducing force needed, plus takes away the bodyweight that you have to lift.
No, we do realize it. Lance said that already, that's why I haven't said it myself.
Quote from: Lance
then factor in that youre not lifting your bodyweight
