Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: why the us sucks at olympic lifting
« on: September 13, 2011, 06:25:24 pm »We can't be good at every sport. I bet we don't even have our "potentially" fastest athletes in sprinting. And I agree with bball2020. I don't see how you think he's joking unless you are reading what he is saying incorrectly. He's not saying we suck at any sport besides basketball/football, he's saying if we do suck it's because our top athletes are playing other sports.
i hope you're both trolling me because it's almost working.

lack of popularity hurts, but it doesn't explain why we rapidly went from dominant in the 30's, 40's and 50's to completely irrelevant starting in the mid-60's.
i repeat: interesting articles are interesting.

For those of you that follow him, no, this is not a post about Lyle's interminable amateur anthropological examination of sports success and failure. I love the guy's writing and he knows a shit ton more than I ever will about training and nutrition but god damn, is that series a waste of time.
Rather, this is to link to a 6-part article that Lyle links to in one part of his series, entitled "There Is No System" and written by Andrew Charniga, Jr. It's here: http://sportivnypress.com/documents/51.html
Lot of food for thought about training methodologies, especially w/r/t isometric and general strength/bodybuilding training for athletics.
Enjoy.

BW = 170.0
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left hip
FATIGUE = moderate, didn't get to sleep until really late last night because of the michigan-notre dame game
- warm up
just shot around, some ME layups
- DSVJ x 6-8
getting up pretty well, decided to go for DLRVJ
- DLRVJ x 12-15
out of absolutely nowhere, was jumping very well. several easily at 32, one at 32.5, one possible 33. but i've never had that much consistency at that height. so call it a volume PR if nothing else.
- squat 3 x 5 x 275
much better
- BSS 2 x 10e x 120
hip was feeling wonky and the gym was closing
- stretch
sweet.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: LBSS plan - pls critique
« on: September 11, 2011, 07:22:41 pm »Looks pretty good to me, youre just going to have monitor performance closely on some of those days after 3 or 4 jump training exercises, if you handle it fine then its great, some dont though. Worst case scenario you drop an exercise or two and focus more intensely on the 2 you have left.
thanks lance. will incorporate an AREG element: if i'm bouncing all over the place, keep going. if not, pare back. make sense?
