My first journal entry on TVS was Sat May 10, 2008 5:17 pm...

You look heavy (as in high bodyfat)... you probably could jump higher with less fat.

I really like the "8" in that picture. Really big cojones.

Yeah I still think your eventual increases in the squat (especially 1/2 squat in your case) will correlate really really well into your jumps because you're already ultra efficient in your run-up (well not really if you ask me but whatever ).

Yeah, you can still train, just dont do anything that causes you to "strain".  The belt is also likely a contributor, alot of people wear belts too tight, especially when starting to use one for the first time.  It doesnt need to to be extremely tight, you just need to be able to push your stomach into it, its there to give u something to push against not to squeeze the life out of you.  That issue youre dealing with is very common, especially when people start to use heavier weights and strain more frequently.

Well I already have an underlying condition... some guy kicked me in the prostate when I was little with his boot with all his power (he was aiming for the butt but hit me right between the legs) and even though we were little I was never the same before... so I have experience "prostate locks" which are scary as you can't believe it unless you experience at least one (you won't want to ever experience another again, EVER). That's why I don't really "squeeze" my anus (aka anal lock) as hard as I can like you're supposed to when you're pushing a heavy weight or jumping because my prostate would possibly lock.

The natural way to do maximal stuff is to lock the gut and the butt to create intra-abdominal pressure and irradiation. I always do (and probably pretty much everyone) that automatically and naturally, but I'm limited ever since that event.

So I think during my 140 kg squat and so on I probably didn't do a good job with that and now...

At least, I hope that's the culprit and not something more serious.

I've gone past that stage.

No but seriously, this doesn't feel good at all... could we please drop the sarcasm for a minute and talk about the actual problem?

Ever since the last few days or so I have a problem: ass pain. Not as in gluteus pain but assHOLE pain. Probably prostate pain as well... I can't really sit down too much and I can't really sleep well either...

I'm thinking maybe hemorroids? Heavy squats can cause them right? I also used a stationary bike and whenever I stay on that saddle my prostate hurts but not my ass...

Anyone experienced any similar problems from heavy squatting or whatever? Because if it's not generated by this, it could be something serious...
