ADD THIS NOTE TO EVERY POST SO YOU KEEP REMEMBERING: JUMP EVERY WORKOUT. IF THERE'S NO SPACE, FIND SPACE.

FOAM ROLL BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT, LACROSSE/TENNIS BALL SMR AFTER EVERY WORKOUT.

STANDING QUAD/HAM/CALF/ITB/PEC STRETCHING THROUGHOUT THE DAY, EVERY HOUR OR SO.

KEEP SWEETS TO A MINIMUM. MOAR PROTEIN. MOAR VEGGIES.


10/5

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = shoulders and neck, too much sitting and too much stress
FATIGUE = very high

at work until really late, didn't get to the gym until 9

- warm up

- foam roller x a million years
felt awesome, by the time i was done it was 10 until 10 and i had to leave

10/7
BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left acromion process tweaking during setup for squats... not as bad as that one time
FATIGUE = very high
- warm up

- sprints 4 x 10y

- DSVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x ~20
started out awesome, was totally in the mindset of, "fuck yes, i'm gonna PR right now." then went to get my phone so i could do some filming and couldn't find it. freaked out a little bit, eventually found it but by that point CNS excitement was down. jumped meh, ~31, by i was getting easy 32+ on my first couple of jumps so i'm pretty pissed. better luck today.

- jump squat 3 x 2 x 95

- MSEM squat 2 x 3 x 315
not great, not bad. will cut down to 305 next time and see how that does. more important to be solid and fast than to have those extra ten pounds.

- OHP 3 x 105, 3 x 115, 4 x 125
possible PR on the last set?

- chin ups 5 x 5

- stretch

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: What To Do

Jumping with bands put five inches on my vertical in under a month. Worked way better for increasing my speed than weightlifting ever did.

I'm far from an expert on this, but from what I can tell weightlifting is more a way to demonstrate existing strength and speed than it is to build it. I bring up my shitty build for weightlifting because I suspect that people who are built to move more weight with the clean and snatch are likely to get more out of it than long-armed people like me. But that is only a suspicion based on observation and experience and I'm not suggesting anyone take my word for it.

But yeah, I spent a couple years trying to use weightlifting to jump higher and run faster with zero results. I then spend a few weeks jumping with bands and put inches on my vertical. But I do love weightlifting so it's hard for me to let it go entirely. I love the idea of a day with snatches, cleans, jerks and front squats. I just don't know if it would be as productive for me as jumping and sprinting.

interesting, thanks for the thoughts. i'm pretty sure others on here have had similar experiences with jump squats vs. oly variations (kingfish comes to mind).

the plan you mentioned looks like what i remember cressey's generic routines looking like. plus you posted a video of tony gentilcore. my bad if it wasn't actually from him.

two questions:

1. why the switch to bands? your form on the oly stuff is good, you clearly have the mobility for it (still in awe of those CG OH squats  :highfive:) and, as you say, it's great for speed and mobility. jump squats are okay but i think the oly stuff is better. i'm trying to move that direction myself but my shoulder mobility and form are limiting so far.

2. on the heavy day, have you thought about doing something like MSEM instead of just the one single? adarq has an article about it, just search the forum for "maximum strength effort method".

Light increases alertness, you're normal.

That article is about something else but in the abstract it does say this

thanks for the link. would be interested to see some kind of cognitive study on that. pubmed search coming up.

Thought I was gonna be at work until midnight, but a deadline got pushed back to NEXT Friday, so I hit up the gym. Forgot it was old dude basketball night so no court available and the weight room was surprisingly full for the time I got there. Decided to just roll the shit out of myself, maybe move around a bit and give myself another day. This week has sucked.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: the ideal rest between sets?
« on: September 28, 2011, 05:59:05 pm »
lance is full of shit, you should rest between 90-92 seconds between sets. anything else is too short or too long.

8385
no idea whether that's what did it for you, but FWIW i feel broad jumps in my knees more strongly than any other exercise i can think of.
