why fuck tony gentilcore?
Well to tell you the truth... because I'm afraid of cardio. Like genuinely. Two of my family "men" have died after effort... one came with his bike home and had a vein pop out in his head at 25 years old or so after effort. Another one died after he got home on his bike, was kind of tired, and the elevator was broken so he used the stairs to get home (at the 8th floor of the building) and his heart stopped and started vomiting and coughing up blood and pink foam (sign of pulmonary edema) - and he died basically of a heart attack after effort.
So I keep that in mind and whenever my heart rate goes up at pretty much anything, these things keep coming up in my head and I get scared and my heart rate goes even higher and my fatigue increases a lot in just a few seconds. Then I'm done.
Would doing plyos help his vert?
I saw the difference between his running and standing VJ as sign of some decent reactive ability, so I didn't know how he would be able to improve his reactive ability. I guess I was way off, so he would see best gains with explosive lifts and maybe plyos?
if you don't perform athletic movements (reactive, explosive, plyo etc), then your ability to perform those movements will diminish even if your "lifts" are going up.. Everything is a skill, so, not improving your body's ability to absorb/produce force rapidly is lost with detraining of explosive/reactive movements. There is no reason to periodize explosive/reactive movements, they should ALWAYS be included in an athlete's training program, it's just the volume/intensity that changes based on the type of workout or block you are in.. so ya, if someone is performing ONLY heavy lifting yet is somehow (wtf) doing all of that for athletic performance improvement, they will lose the ability to absorb/produce force fast, it's just how the body adapts..
whatever the stimulus, or lack thereof, the body will adapt accordingly..

God I love that post, this is one of the biggest issues holding people back right now and that hit the nail right on the head!
Quads are sore, particularly left quad. More so than after last jumping session. Failure to stretch after workout = idiotic. SMR + stretching + cardio + stretching today should help.
adarq, question about stim: how should I do it?
real quick synopsis, as im being bit by mosquitos..
volume-strength:power:deload-reactive = 1:2:1
session 1:
- warmup
- low volume max effort jumps after warmup (~5-7 x 2)
- MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5
- SQUAT: 3 x 3, 3 x 8 (no long pauses between reps, try to get the reps done non stop, last rep should be hard)
- UPPER
- UNILATERAL: 3 x 3e
- OPTIONAL: CORE
- STRETCH
session 2:
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes to fire up: 10 yards x 5
- low volume max effort jumps after warmup (~5-7 x 2) - if feel very stale, 1-step lead ins
- ME MR halftuck: 5 x 5
- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
- C1: MSEM squat: 1 x 4 (90-95%), 30s or more between singles, bar speed from onset of transition to lockout is essential
- C1: JUMP SQUAT: 2 x 3 (30%)
- C1-info: if it makes it easier, to db jump squats, jump squats come nearly immediately after a set of MSEM.. so: MSEM, jump squat, rest 2min, jump squat, rest 3min, repeat..... 2 rotations
- S1: dips @ 3 x AF
- S1: pullups @ 3 x AF
- OPTIONAL: CORE
- STRETCH
session 3:
...
session 4:
...
basically:
...
so 9-10 day rotation.. in that schedule, day 6, 8, and when you rotate back to day 1 should be the best jumping.. jumping will suffer a bit after session 1 volume.
what you think?
peace man!@$!@
