Yeah maybe I should stick with full squats for only one workout and go with 1/4 squats the other one. Not sure about the volume though...

Maybe something more hypertrophy oriented like 3x10-12 for this 1/4 squat workout?

PS. Not sure if my knee will like the 1/4 squatting though...

It's a bullshit squat.

Nah, it's a Bulgarian Split Squat:

I need your VMO's now! Would probably solve or at least improve my knee issues by a fair amount! I'm the complete opposite: big vastus lateralis, small VMO

Me too... there are very few people who are naturally VMO big... although maybe in adarqui's case it's also a matter of squat stance (although he doesn't squat THAT narrow).

ya man i love drinking protein shake in between squat sets, i only down bits of one shake not like what you did, but it REALLY helps compared to when I don't do it.. i calm down quicker, recovery faster, and feel less jittery.

nice pics

pc

I'd puke it out. For example, I once drank a glass of protein powder like 1 and a half hours before my workout. Guess what? When I squatted 120x5, I just felt it coming up my throat (literally). It just stopped right before going out (I was wearing a belt by the way).

What part of the butt should go sore when you do the squat? The whole butt or only the lower part?

I got my entire butt sore when I did long reach-out BSSs and possibly walking lunges. Otherwise, it's usually the part connecting the glute to the hamstring for me.

IF IT'S NOT HEALTHY SLEEP THEN WHY I AM I, FOR THE MOST PART, HEALTHY? HUH, ANOTHER COMPLETELY RETARDED COMMENT

i'm a night person, i've adjusted, i'm fine on this sleep schedule.. i dream like 4-5 times a night.. I achieve REM.. i get melatonin production at 6am.. it's a rhythmic cycle.

RELAX.


Or maybe you just like to think you are. I agree about you achieving all that but it's still not the way you're designed to function if you ask me. You can't all the sudden change the way you're genetically constructed to work, and that's functioning at day and sleeping at night.

That's not healthy sleep though.

Healthy sleep has to do with melatonin as far as I'm aware, and that hormone appears into your blood stream when the natural sunlight slowly fades away (it's getting dark etc). That's the proper moment to sleep (when all the animals go to "bed" as well).

If you sleep some other way that's against the natural construction of the human body in my opinion so I believe that's sub optimal. Sure, one my quote studies but I'd still feel the same.

And did you have soem hamstrings injury a cpl years back? Coz i thought you were jumping high and squating big.

Well, since Dr. House has that crippled leg, Adarqui figured it's not cool not to have a leg injury of his own so he chose a hamstring one! Go figure!

All good, but you need to get quicker up there.

Yeah it will be interesting on how you react to an eventual deload... it could work either as a gain or actually a loss in power (according to Pfaff).

Any jumping fluctuations lately (inches gain or lost)?

Very very quick jump

Raptor, about the hip bend, I think it is in part due to genetics/limb structure. If you lok at the way cskin walks, his legs are slightly pointed outwards, meaning he has a glute preference. People with straighter legs, or legs pointed inwards may use the deeper quad bend more. Examples include Guy dupuy, maybe adarqui, AUT, myself.. it's hard for me to throw my legs out to much actually

I'm not sure about that. I still think Adarqui could get higher with more posterior chain, he's currently destroying his knees, (they look to be under extreme tension when he jumps judging by their position) in my opinion because of this high dependence on quads and their usage in jumping. To me, that's sub-optimal biomechanics. I know I'm on an island while saying what I'm about to say, but I don't really think it depends that much on the individual.

Yes, it does depend on the individual, but I think more in strength than in structure. I think in terms in structure the body will alter the jump stance (feet wider apart) and stuff like that, rather than muscle involvement. Muscle involvement depends on strength IMO.

i'm destroying my knees folks, because i'm not a "p-cain jumper"

 :uhhhfacepalm:


Damn bro, sorry to hear that.  Ice that shit and do some glute bridges..... NOWWWWW!  ;)

ya, i mean my knees feel great, but apparently they are being destroyed.

thanks for the heads up raptor.


Hey no problem, that's why I'm here for: to protect you against yourself. :ibjumping:
