Posted this in the Gerald Greene thread, which became the why LBSS sucks at jumping thread (sorry Joel): Just signed up for indoor ultimate this winter. Starts in January, games twice a week. Indoor ultimate is fun, it's like a cross between basketball, regular ultimate, and hockey. Played on a court so the chances of an ankle roll are much reduced. I'm out of shape and some extracurricular, fun GPP for a couple of months can only help, along with the opportunity to sprint and jump in a relaxed, competitive setting. Relaxed because there's no internal pressure to hit a particular height target. Competitive because, hey, it's competition. Who knows, I might come out the other side with improved movement efficiency and speed.

^^^ not bad advice but i don't really play basketball and i no longer even have regular access to a court. i've noticed that i jump higher when the rim looks lower, so the psychological/CNS factor is definitely there. and then there's the inhibiting factor of beating myself up for not jumping better when i'm jumping poorly.
imight sign signed up to play indoor ultimate this winter and will get my jumping and sprinting in that way. plus would help with GPP; i'm a bit out of shape. more relaxed jumping in the flow of the game = good practice. okay.

« on: December 04, 2012, 05:22:37 pm »yeah, your run-up is waaayy too slow, stiff, and upright. If you're jumping 34 with that technique, you could definitely be at 40+ with a proper run-up. Watch porter mayberry and zack jones
first sentence is true. second sentence might be true but is fucking useless to me because i can't do a proper run up. simply have not figured out how to do one. if you've got any advice other than "watch these supremely talented people" i'm all ears.

but the kind of people that LBSS mentioned... i mean wtf? you're in your 20's and want to make a liquor graveyard? i wanna slap that bitch and tell her to grow up. and then all the people on monday mornings telling you how drunk they got over the weekend. nobody gives a shit about how drunk you were. tell me what happened while you were drunk. Anything funny? interesting? important? ive heard the "omg i was so hammered" story so many times before.

hm, interesting look at his foot as he plants. never noticed the heel coming up off the floor immediately like that, as he's planting the forward foot. not sure what burnouts are but going back and look at some of my better jumps -- still vastly shittier than greene's, obviously -- my plant is too much of a jump stop for something like that to make a difference. flat footedness prevails.
to wit:

what are burnouts? i never got air alert.

P-CHAIN AND POWER BLOCK DAY 2
WEIGHT: 179 -- new scale, new frame of reference
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: okay, better as workout went on. new gym is still an adjustment
- warm up
- SVJ x 5
- squat MSEM 330 x 4
amazing, strongest i've ever felt at this weight
- RDL 155 x 8,8,8
figured i'd start light for technique purposes. only really started to feel right in the third set
- BSS 110 x 8,8,8/e
- OHP 125 x 7,7
i feel like these compress my back in a maybe not-good way. need to swallow ego and make sure form is right.
- chin up +25 x 8,2; pull up x 7
right bicep wonky, need more shoulder work before i can do straight bar chin ups
- ab pull down 80 x 10,10,10
- stretch
prediction: hamstrings, glutes, and low back will be sore tomorrow.
