Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: slight knee pain/discomfort

Just take MSM or something. Our diets are apaprently very deficient in sulfur.

I've had cracking knees for over 1.5 years (i think). Last year (as in fall of 2010), my knees were so weak I stopped jump trianing and only sprinted but it ddidn't make it better. After taking MSM for just a few days they feel WAY stronger. But thtat doesn't mean it'll work for you. Your doctor would probably put you on some pill, but I suggest MSM. I take powder found it at whole foods.

yes, your personal experience is absolutely the solution to the vaguely explained knee pain of a person you've never met.

His vert is very unathletic compared to all the cone drills. He doesn't look like he knows how to load his legs properly. Not much arm swing, bending completely at the knees, not much glute/hip action

and he doesn't give a flying fuck because learning to do those things will probably not have any impact on his basketball playing abilities, which are world-class elite.

BULLFUCKINGSHIT. Unless you've talked to him in person you're a moron.

i was exaggerating a little, but really, are you seriously contradicting me on that? why should he care? if he wanted to improve on "loading his legs properly" and "swinging his arms in a manner that is pleasing to random people on the internet," well, he's an elite athlete with nothing to do but work on being better at being elite. so he could do it. but i seriously doubt he cares. in the hierarchy of things that will make jimmer fredette a better basketball player, which is what i assume matters to him because IT'S HIS FUCKING PROFESSION, learning to do a better static, standing vertical jump is pretty goddamn low. actually, getting a better standing vert is low on the list of ANYONE who is trying to get better at basketball. absolute SVJ ability simply doesn't matter very much.

you think your shit smells like roses, man, but really it just smells like shit.

Yeah it looks good and very deep ^^^

It's interesting because my sticking point is where his sticking point is. Not sure if that's the same for everyone. I find it easy to come out of the hole and struggle in that half squat position like LBSS is here.

thanks raptor. no idea about others' sticking points but mine has always been there. easy to get out of the hole -- stretch reflex ftw! -- but past that it's hard.

^ good form!

2BW squat is always a good thing. u standing jump mid 30s now?

thanks kf, nice complement coming from you, what with your perfect form. standing jump is still a joke. well below 30. vag is trying to get me to work on RFD and he's probably right. you got recommendations?

Happy new year and late congrats for the awesome 34'' PR !  :headbang:  :ibjumping:

As for the training plan,  looks good and solid for sure. Whatever includes much squatting and jumping will work anyway.
IMO you should give power drills a better chance. Being above 2*BW and rather lean ( fuck you for calling 11% 'fat' ) is strong enough.
On the first phase i would turn one day to 'power day' , better be day 2 , consisting of power cleans/snatches and heavy explosive box squats. That would help your ( lacking? 34 RVJ is low for 2*BW ) RFD and also leave some room for better recovery, resulting awesome jumps at day 3. You would still have 2 more days/week of ME squatting so you could keep driving it up.
Same for 2nd phase. You could do the 2x3 MSEM normally ( full ROM , ME ) and change the 1x6 to 1x8 in a power variation ( speed squats , box squats , explosive halfs , whatever ). Also i would give that 2nd phase some more time, like 2 or 3 weeks.
So after those 2 phases you would have been doing that scheme for 6 or 7 weeks and have a clear idea of how it went. If it worked repeat , if not curse me and proceed to smolov :D

TLDR version :  i mainly want to see how you will respond to power cleans/snatches and explosive box squats.

Just my 2 broscience cents.


thanks vag! i appreciate the thoughts. the friend i was jumping with the other day had a similar suggestion, as have a bunch of people at the gym over the months and years. maybe i should go for that -- what could be the harm? day 2 (wednesday) is actually a good day to do power snatching because that's when i overlap with the oly lifters at my gym. my power snatch is still a hilarious joke, so there's nowhere to go but up, i suppose.

so...

WEEKS 1-4 (power)
Monday: jump + squat 3x5 + upper push/pull 2x8
Wednesday: jump + power snatch + box squat ?x?+ upper push/pull 2x8
Friday/Saturday jump + squat MSEM 2x3 + upper push/pull 2x8

WEEK 5 (deload and test)
Monday: jump + squat easy 3x5 + upper push/pull 2x8
Wednesday: jump + power snatch + speed squat x8 upper push/pull 2x8
Friday: test

never done any box squatting. any recommendations for sets/reps/loading?

for the record, i wasn't calling 11% "fat." i just meant it relatively. maybe i should have said, "slightly less lean than normal."  :D i may not have good jumping genes, but i do have good leanness genes.
