Just skip the first rep, start with the 2nd.

thanks avishek. i'll try to take some video the next time i'm jumping at all well.
i do tend to do depth jumps only as a replacement when the court is unavailable for DLRVJs. i shy away from them in part because there's no easy way to get feedback other than the mirror and my own feeling: it's totally possible that i was jumping as high yesterday as on days where i feel great but there's no real way to know.
what would really help is the jump mat, which my gym has at another location, where it's never used. need to just go get the damn thing myself.
also yes, my eccentric is probably pretty slow.

You are too far to the right. (edit: you are the heavy resistance trained line). Jump squats <50%, cleans, and depth jumps/pogos/broadjumps for 3 weeks. Deload for 1wk if necessary. Full ROM deep jump squats with 60-80% to maintain strength in all ROM, box squats, and continued depth jumps for another 3 weeks after a deload. You'll go up a few inches.
asstarded, do not do this.

do them with a light weight and add more until it gets too hard. you are not going to get a meaningful answer on here.

BW = 173.5
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate
- warm up
major crossover breakthrough, got at least 8 or 9 in a row at one point
- depth jump 3 x 3
no explosion at all
- speed box squat 10 x 2 x 245
- bench 2 x 3 x 155, 10 x 155
- DB row 3 x 10 x 75
- stretch

« on: March 05, 2012, 09:42:39 am »Have you been practicing your jumps?
this is the most important thing. i squat over 2xbw but my standing vertical is hilariously bad because i literally never practice it.

BW = 172
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low
- touch football x 2 hours
was gonna do gym afterward but game went longer than expected -- partially cause it's muddy and wet as shit so no one could score -- and now i have to go the grocery store before duke-unc. gym tomorrow.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: Another new Kelly Bagget Article
« on: March 02, 2012, 05:04:27 pm »
kellyb, still bringing the knowledge. i got into him with it about race typing and athleticism a while back and we, shall we say, disagreed. but the man knows more about training than i ever will. great article.
also, an alternative on #8: instead of spitting on the floor, i wipe sweat off my face, rub my hands together and then rub the bottoms of my shoes. works like a charm even though the floor of my gym is old and dusty.

BW = 172
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = that weird spot next to the ball of my right foot, right toe
FATIGUE = moderate
- warm up
- DLRVJ x ~20
best jumps in a little while but that says more about how shitty i've been jumping. a few 32.5-33, some easy rim hangs. but form/fluidity was really inconsistent. sucks cause i felt pretty good.
- MR half tuck 3 x 30
thought foot would be a problem but it didn't get worse after a couple of tests so i went for it. went to a height that usually ends up giving me knee pain but not this time. guess that's a good thing.
- squat 2 x 5 x 305, 2 x 305, 3 x 295
weak, didn't fail on third set but could not have gotten to five reps, so i dropped weight and finished. maybe i should stop weighing myself.
- bench 2 x 5 x 145, 13 x 145
rep or two in the tank but no spotter
- DB row 3 x 10 x 75
- bar roll out 3 x 10 x 135
- stretch
okay workout.

last night:
BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low
- warm up
- realize, "there is no fucking space to properly warm up or do even 5-yard sprints right now"
- get pissed off, then deflated
- decide, "fuck it, i'm gonna squat a tiny bit then come back tomorrow"
- squat 1 x 315
- foam roller
- stretch
fuck crossfit, fuck boot camp, fuck rugby.
