Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Standing Broad Jump
« on: July 13, 2010, 08:07:35 am »
I know 9 feet is nothing special, wasn't trying to say it is. Just pointing out that adarq, who can dunk and could dunk well at one point has a worse broad jump than me, who can't. Also, I wouldn't say a standing broad jump is much like the track event. Broad jump is straight power, no reactivity. Long jump is all reactivity -- you ever seen a world-class long jumper try to fly off two feet at the end of the approach?
It's an okay tool for measuring lower body power, but I wouldn't say it's any better than regular old standing vert. Except easier to measure without equipment.

« on: July 13, 2010, 12:01:17 am »N=2 (me + adarq) evidence for why broad jump is completely useless w/r/t vert, dunking, whatever:
Before my ankle sprain I was messing around in between sets during a workout and broad jumped 9', or farther than adarq has ever jumped in his life, even at his peak. No warm up, just jumped. And yet I probably have the worst vert (definitely the worst running vert) on this whole forum at the moment, even without the sprain.
wats ur rvj and svj?
At the moment approximately 0" for SVJ and 0" for RVJ. I haven't jumped in at least a month and hadn't measured for a while before that. All-time PRs are probably 28" and 32". Once the ankle is back to normal I will test and share my shame, probably in the RVJ-SVJ drop-off thread. Stay tuned!

Today sucked, I'm pretty sure because:
Anyway, blah blah blah I barely want to write this down but:
warm up
foam roll x10 mins (ITB, VMO, peroneals)
mobility
work
bench 3x195 SHIT, 2x5x185
DB row 3x8x70
cool down
stretch
Better luck next time.
Diet over the weekend sucked, especially yesterday.

Another question: What about specific core work?

^^^Exactly. Toes behind a line, jump, measure from the farthest-back heel. If you lose balance and fall on your ass, measure from your ass 
And it is fun, unless you do it on concrete. Then, as adarq says, it hurts like a bitch. I'd recommend a track or gym floor (that kind of bouncy black stuff they put down in weight rooms).

Strong DOMS today in hamstrings and somewhat in low back (only when I extend past normal posture). Thank you, trap bar. Good sign, though.
Diet over the weekend sucked, especially yesterday. On a related but ultimately boring and whiny note, sometimes I hate having a roommate.

Looks excellent. Couple of questions:
What's a single leg buck?
Would light cardio (e.g. brisk walking, C2, stationary bike at first, longer extensive tempo/light jogging as ankle improves) be okay on some, not all, rest days?
Also, what are all of these:
Thanks again.

LOL at Tam hating England because he's Scottish. We hate 'em, too, man.
Also, a bit sad for Holland today to have been so close yet again. Robben should have scored twice and came away with nothing. But happy for Spain, too. Too bad it was such an ugly game.

I learned it while I was a world champion powerlifting coach in russia in the 1950's.

warm up
shot hoops, went well
foam roll x20-25 mins
LB mobility
work
DL line hops forward and back x40, x10s (35)
trap bar DL 3x8x225
BSS x10xbw
BSS iso hold x60s
cool down
stretch
Lower back was pretty tired after DLs so I hedged my bets and just did the iso holds instead of loading up a bar for reps. This was pretty damn weak all the way around. So begins the long, Sisyphean climb back up the hill...
Oh yeah, and for the line hops, the first set I just did 20 over-and-back. The second set I did 10 seconds for touches. Got 35.

I'm pretty sure no other white dude has done it, at least in competition. The people over at CF were also talking about this as the first time and some of them have been around elite track for a long time.
