« on: September 26, 2013, 09:38:11 am »How much correlation are you seeing to how you jump on a certain day and your sprint times? Your squat has consistently improved; your also seemingly getting better at bounding but having more variable performance. Good to see the focus on sprints, I think the improvement to your vertical is long term but will help. By the way, no more correcting your to you're for me:

Lol. Look forward to training with you, we will have to get a session semi filmed so others can get sense of the workout.
my squat hasn't really improved, or if it has, not by much. i hit 315 for three sets of five a year and a half ago and have spun my wheels for the most part since then. this is also part of why i always have the nagging desire at the back of my brain to just really focus on squatting+gaining weight for a while.
but to answer your question, the correlation is near-perfect. if i sprint well, i jump well. if i don't sprint well, i jump poorly. if i feel springy, i feel springy. on rare occasions i can warm up past feeling sluggish but usually i know right away whether i'm going to be fast/jump high on a given day. i'll be sure to bring my camera and tripod when we work out so everyone can see just how slow i am over 60m (it's impossible to film by myself the whole thing at the track where i run).
long live proper orthography.
