Article & Video Discussion / Re: High bar vs Low bar 2.0, by Greg Nuckols

Well, because they kind of are "used" to high bar squatting. I'm the only guy the low bar squats in my gym, or in any other gym I've ever been in.

So in a way, if the back is less of a limiting factor, then more work is being done by the legs, which is what we, as aspiring athletes, care about.

Truth be told, when I try high bar squats PRs, the limiting factor IS staying upright with the bar. I can't even "imagine" going down with it due to this limitation. It's not really the leg strength that is stopping me.

MUSiC anD SHeeT! / Re: I just added three more songs to my karaoke playlist

Haha I actually did that one today but didn't bother to export it again, upload it etc.

Whenever I do, I'm always like "for sure I can sing better than this" and am just disappointed.

Yeah, that's the basic idea.

But in a standing vert, a long Achilles is better. Anyway, no need to talk about it because you can't change what you have, so... might as well continue working on that PC strength.

Well, that's what you always hear about the Achilles.

Yeah, it's impossible for me to initiate a high bar squat from the hips, I would just lose position.

A longer Achilles usually translates into more knee bend in the jump. You should watch that Donald Thomas vs Stefan Holm video.

Is that a high or a low bar position? I can't tell from the video. It does look like the hips are really involved, though.

Actually a short Achilles is better for one leg jumping, because it takes less to load and snaps quicker => better ground contact times. A long Achilles is great for standing vertical jumps.

+ a depth jump from a teammate's back and a free throw line dunk for long jump and a high jump over a center

I've felt like 2:03 several times, but I tried to stay calm and pretend nothing is happening... I've exited the gym a few times to take some cold air.

I have one too, I remember when I used to dunk with it, and felt so heavy, and was actually lighter than I am now. I think back then with a weight vest I was at ~92 kg, and now I'm ~95.
