ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: One-leg strength jumping exercises
« on: August 08, 2011, 09:46:32 am »
I've just read Raptors One-leg running jump - reactive vs strength jumping article and realized that I'm a total reaction jumper. Great for dunks comps and all but when it comes to game situations, i.e dunking on fast breaks I find my leg gives out if I'm really trying to get up there.  Its like my mind is saying dunk and my leg is saying fuck you, thus resulting in a totally uncoordinated dunk attempt where I only get 3 inches of the ground.

What exercises should I be working on to help me become more of a complete jumper?. 

the bold part made me laugh. great description.  :highfive:

Read his dispute over prosthetics in wikipedia. It's all well cited, at least from the bits I've read. CAS actually repealed IAAF's ban on him because they didn't present enough evidence to show he had an unfair advantage, especially when weighed against his disadvantages like his slower starts. (In the video you can see he's still behind everyone at around the 150m mark.

doesn't matter. he's NOT RUNNING. what he's doing is a different thing. the fact that his disadvantage in the start might make up for his huge advantage in the upright portion of the race doesn't deny the fact that the blades give him a huge advantage while moving forward at high speed.

plus it's only a matter of time before they come up with blades that eliminate the problems with the start. what, are they gonna calibrate the technology so it meets some random standard for correlation with human speed?

Can't these artificial legs help? I don't want to sound like a jerk but can't they actually give you an advantage?

yes, they can. he's basically not even doing the same thing as running, mechanically speaking.

From a different (later) post on that site:

Quote from: The Science of Sport
Pistorius had an eventful year off the track - a boating accident which was alleged to have been the result of alcohol, a night in jail after allegations of assault, and finally, a research publication by his own scientists which suggested that he enjoyed an advantage of 10 seconds in a 400m race.

everyone gains fat when they gain weight. except steroid users. and sometimes even them. the proportion you gain of muscle and fat depends on (not in order of importance):

1. your genes,
2. your size and how fat you are when you start trying to gain weight,*
3. your activity level and the types of activities you're doing, and
4. your diet.

*e.g. very fat, untrained people are generally the only people who can really build muscle and lose fat at the same time. everyone else is stuck with at least a little fat gain.

if you are a hard gainer, eat more. being a hard gainer almost always means your body just doesn't want to eat enough to gain wait. suck it up and force yourself to eat a little more and, lo and behold, you will gain weight.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right toe bugging badly, have to concentrate to not limp
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- tuck jump 2 x 10
submax

- sprint x 15y
2 @ 60% == standing start because of toe, toe hurt anyway, stopped

- DSVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x 10
felt technically pretty good but wasn't getting very high, maybe 30.5, maybe 31 at most.

- squat 5 x 7 x 260
felt great, lost focus on the last couple of reps of the last two sets but not a big deal. squatting yesterday was smart.

- chin up x 10 + 3,3,3,3
pseudo-RP

- dip + 8 lbs x 10 + 3,3,3,3
real RP

- stretch

felt pretty good. talked to my other brother on the way home, helped to just check in about our little brother. i do much, much better in the gym when there's no one else around, or almost no one.

So if you get him into a rehab center? A good one for that matter.

he's been in and out of rehab centers since he was 14. suggestions not really likely to be helpful, but i appreciate the thought.

Damn, that sucks, hope everything is OK. There's really no hope of getting your brother on the straight path?

thanks dude. there's hope but it's completely outside everyone's hands but his. and he doesn't really seem to want to get better, so until he changes on that point there's really no hope.

quick side note: my youngest brother is in the hospital again. checked himself in on monday after an apparent heroin and cocaine bender (he likes to freebase) that started on friday. he didn't OD but i assume felt like shit as he was coming down, so he rode the bus to the hospital and got himself into a bed. not the first time this has happened, he's been addicted to drugs for years and he's seriously mentally ill, so normally this would be nothing new and i wouldn't post about it.

but my parents are at the end of their ropes: they had NEVER asked me to do anything until yesterday, when my dad asked me to do them a favor through a connection i have. that, more than anything else, is freaking me out right now. i went to talk to my boss about it, basically to say that i'm gonna take a bit longer lunch break than usual so i can do this favor -- not important what it is -- and i realized i'd been trembling a bit. still am.

i love my brother and have been worried about him dying suddenly for many years but that worry doesn't often surface. i'm exuberant but very emotionally controlled and independent, so when that quality breaks even a little bit it's very distracting. i'll go to the gym tonight and put in as much work as i can but it might not be my best work.

not fishing for pity or sympathy, just noting it down because it's having a pretty big impact on my ability to focus.

big movements first, small movements after (e.g. rows before bicep curls).

better example:

DAY 1
Squat: 3-4X6-8/3' (3-4 sets of 6-8 with a 3' rest)
Romanian DL or regular DL: 3-4X6-8/3'
Bulgarian split squat: 2-3X10-12/2'
Calf raise: 3-4X6-8/3'

DAY 2
Flat bench: 3-4X6-8/3'
Row: 3-4X6-8/3'
Incline bench or shoulder press: 2-3X10-12/2'
Pulldown/chin up: 2-3X10-12/2'
Triceps: 1-2X12-15/1.5'
Biceps: 1-2X12-15/1.5'

if you want to do everything on the same day, you could just put the big upper exercises right after the big lower exercises and then do all your assistance. also, the only way you will gain mass is to eat more calories than you burn. so if you moderate your caloric surplus, you won't have a problem with becoming "overbuilt." and really, because i assume you won't be taking steroids, a moderate caloric surplus will just help you avoid getting fat. don't worry about becoming too built.
