Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Age vs Vertical
« on: August 01, 2012, 07:01:28 pm »
there's a guy at my gym who can overhead press as much as he can bench. he's not super-strong in either, but maybe some people are just better set up to do vertical than horizontal pressing?

- triple broad jump
- DL bound x 3,3
not as far as triple broad jump, although i'm sure that's because i'm pretty good at pulling my feet forward and stabilizing if i don't have to rebound.
Do you know the measurements and differences between the two?
Your RDLVJ is much greater than your standing right?
not exactly. it was the first time i'd tried it and kind of a whim. the difference between the first set of bounds and the second was pretty dramatic, too, for what that's worth. if i had to guess, i'd say the 3 x broad jump was about 26.5 feet, and the second set of bounds was about 24.5 feet. will actually measure next time. also, my single broad jump PR is something like 9'2.
DLRVJ is 5-8 inches higher than SVJ. DLRVJ is more variable. i think SVJ is about 25 unless i'm extremely amped or extremely tired, but recent DLRVJ varies from 30-33 workout to workout. when i'm in a better groove with it, as i was in may, it's more like 32-35. all-time PR is about 35.
Yeah I thought I remember you gaining huge out of an approach. 8 inches in amazing.
Since it's the first time trying bounding... you might improve a lot with practice then and you will soon bound farther than muli broad jump. Last time I tested on the vertec I was stuck at 35 SVJ, 36 RVJ, still really frustrating. I do 4xbroad jump and go just over 40 feet, but when I bound I always get 2 feet farther, or 3 feet farther if I depth drop into the first bound. For some reason I seem to score reactive on multiple jumping tests but can't seem to get what you can out of a running vertical jump... Maybe I just hate the carpet where the vertect is and the results would be different if I could test on grass or track!
bizarre. for the record, the broad jumps and bounding were performed on a hardwood basketball court. all the jumps i do are, except when i do tuck jumps or pogos; those are on the rubber matting in the weight room. it's odd to me that i get so much out of the DLRVJ -- 5 inches at a minimum, on a terrible day -- but otherwise would consider myself relatively slow, un-powerful, and un-reactive.
so your single broad jump is well over 10 feet? strange to me that your DLRVJ would be so close to mine, given how much more powerful and springy you are.

BW = 172.8
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right toe
FATIGUE = low
- warm up
- DLRVJ x ~10
meh, 31-32, but at least it wasn't horrible. approaches started to feel okay, unlike the last couple of sessions. keep grinding.
- triple broad jump
- DL bound x 3,3
not as far as triple broad jump, although i'm sure that's because i'm pretty good at pulling my feet forward and stabilizing if i don't have to rebound.
- jump rope x a bit
- squat 305 x 5,5,5
- pull up +10 x 10+3+3+2
almost got last rep
- dip +50 x 10+3+3+3
- SS1: ab pull down x 15
- SS1: back extension +10 x 10
- SS1 info: 3 rounds, minimal rest between exercises except longer rest to fix the shit-tastic GHR my gym has.
- SS2: curls 25e x 10
- SS2: cable tricep pulldown x 90,110
- SS1 info: two rounds
- jump rope x a bit
- stretch
pleased about squats.

Olympic Weightlifting / Re: MDUSA Tryout (Pendlays new Gym)
« on: July 31, 2012, 05:45:35 pm »Thanks, Lance. Lots of power, but unfortunate misses. Do you know if he is committed to weightlifting now? I remember him doing some powerlifting and VJ training before.
lot of power is right. this video is a few months old and already posted somewhere else on the forum, but here he is squatting 15 singles of 500lbs at 170lbs bw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKmw4hGCbwA&feature=plcp.

« on: July 31, 2012, 09:42:18 am »
first two reps looked pretty good, actually. you were starting to come forward but not badly. third rep obviously broke down a bit but even that wasn't so bad. just looked like the last rep of a heavy set. one thing that helps me when the weight is even a little bit challenging is to refocus for every rep. it looks like you're just gliding through the set. maybe instead try pausing at the top and reminding yourself of your cues before each eccentric.
for me it's something like, "heels...push floor apart...breathe in...hold...abs out...chest up...go."

last night:
BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = knees during jumping
FATIGUE = very high
- warm up
- DSVJ x ~8
- DLRVJ x ~5
just terrible on both counts. worst in a long time.
- SS1: jump rope x a while
- SS1: KB swing 20kg x 10
- SS1 info: 3 rounds, about 30s rest between exercises
- some more jump rope
- stretching
i got very little sleep on sunday night, due to work, and then monday was a pretty stressful day at work. by the time i got to the gym i was completely wiped out. was supposed to do a real workout but it just wasn't happening. on the plus side, i went to sleep early enough last night that i woke up before my alarm. hopefully that bodes well for today.

Volleyball / Re: Volleyball is the Olympics' most watched sport
« on: July 30, 2012, 12:48:00 pm »NO FUCKING WAY is voleyball the most watched olympic sport!
Im bored to look too , ill just do a fast google search...
10 minutes later:
Bullshit , there is only one childish written blog that claims the beach-volleyball in 2008 had astronomical numbers, without references at all.
All the other researches show the expected: track and filed is the king by FAR , then swimming and then a bunch of popular sports, basketball , football, gymnastics, almost equal. Beach voleyball is beyond #20.
It's common sense actually, who the fuck is this bald motherfucker? If he had to watch one of his games, a USA-Spain basketball final, a Lachte vs Phelps swimming final , or the 100m/200m finals , would he even watch himself?
NO!
aw, vag, i was trying to be gentle. anyway, yes. either the director of australian volleyball is deluded or harvey misheard. the bald guy is one of the best beach volleyball players ever, fwiw. he and his partner are defending olympic champs. watched them whup a japanese team yesterday despite playing badly.
