Anyone ever done anything like this? Im thinking about trying it for a few weeks just to see what happens.

I understand its designed for gaining size and such and won't benefit max strength/athletic ability massively although with a bit of extra muscle from a few week block of this will make it easier to gain max strength later?

And how good is it for adding size?

(im talking about the 10x10)

Yeah I changed to my real name.

It is an effective exercise but since I was maxing out I compromised form except for the third repetition. Yeah I used to sometimes put my feet on 10lb plates to get that extra achilles tendon involved, so wearing jumpsoles would be good. I usually just do these standing now, excpet I haven't done much lifting this summer since I've been doing bounding + sofa and vert been skyrocketing so doesn't matter. But today I did them again and I like them because I can target the vastus lateralis very well but can't in lunges or anything else as much. You can also rotate the bar as you lift it up, it's tremendous.

Another great variation is once I lift the weight up, I drop it down as fast as possible witout letting it hit the floor (pretty much my feet temporarily leave the floor while hips drop) and this rips up everything quite well, then jump back up. Can do that with lunges, squats, anything as long as the load is moderate and you don't kill yourself.

In all honesty though, that the running vertical jump lift is just a nitpicky way to train slightly more specifically. You'll get similar results in squats except glute/ham activation better with this

He was on the Ellen DeGeneres show. Did a front flip over people. There's a clip of that on youtube somewhere.

i can do that

Yes.... but over how many? Haha

as many as he does.

I'm not a huge reader of Lyle's stuff, it's too based in the broscience of cabs/proteins/fats but he is a smart guy. Just not interested in that it isn't useful.

A recently study looked at galactose and fructose, concluding liver glycogen synthesis was enhanced. Avoiding fructose for whatever reason doesn't make sense. It just shows me how out of touch people are with their bodies and understanding its signals.

There are plenty of studies showing that fructose and glucose enhance muscle glycogen stores as well.

So perhaps explain what "you do not agree with" not what is "wrong with this post" because chances are you are "wrong."

I'm not a fan of dieting.

It's better to promote a discussion than use the gay emoticons. From my perspective, saying that fruit is bad after a workout really perplexes me, I've never heard that before and could similarly use stupid pictures to express myself but I'd like to understand where these beliefs come from. Sometimes opinions on matters like these are split into certain 'schools' of thought. So explain please
