Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Resting the week before competition or continue training?
« on: August 21, 2012, 05:42:17 pm »
Kelly Bagget once said that after 2 weeks of rest, his athletic performance actually increased because of rest and healing to his muscles and tendons. So this brings me to the point of whether it is good to do almost absolutely nothing the week before a tournament or to continue to train all the way leading up to it (ie weights and conditioning).

Nutrition & Supplementation / epsom salt for inflammation and soreness
« on: August 11, 2012, 01:46:02 am »
i have been mixing 1 cup of epsom salt (and baking soda) with 1-2 gallons of hot water, applying a towel to sore/inflamed areas and it has been doing some good in my flaring knee and sore muscles. Great way imo to recover from training. Anyone else use this, let me know what you think/how you feel.
the science behind it is that our bodies are usually a bit magnesium depleted, and magnesium helps stop inflammation.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / draining your own knees
« on: July 26, 2012, 11:03:30 pm »
My knees are starting to look a little bit like a spoiled grape fruit. Would it be a good idea to drain them myself with hypodermic needles?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Does erratic sleep schedule affect training?
« on: July 19, 2012, 06:24:43 am »
We all know sleep is vital to training; it is when testosterone and hormones are released to grow and repair body plus a lot more...
Here's my problem-- I do get 8-10 hrs of sleep per day, but I don't sleep at normal times AND I can't sleep 8-10 hrs all at once. I usually sleep 2-3 hrs and I'd have to wake up. So I take like 3-4 naps a day that is 2-3 hrs long or I may stay up for 30-40 hrs straight to get work done and then pass out for 12 hrs straight.
Is this problematic to my training and power development? If so, I think I may have to get some type of prescription sleep medicine.
Thanks.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / is 5/3/1 a good routine for track/bball/vball athletes?
« on: July 18, 2012, 02:13:19 pm »
Also, should track/bball/vball athletes keep the workouts under 1 hour? So would playing bball for 1.5 hours and then lifting after for 1 hour be too much even if you have gatorade and protein drink the entire time?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / how to fly like MJ off of a sprint...
« on: July 18, 2012, 09:35:14 am »
A lot of jumpers today can fly from a slow gallop. But i've found it very hard to take off when sprinting full speed (single leg jump obv) because the momentum is going forward so much its hard to go up.
What kind of training would help gather your strength while running ahead full speed?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / calf/achilles tendon length and vertical leap
« on: July 17, 2012, 06:44:03 pm »
Some people's calves are so low with very short achilles tendon. Some people's calves (especially certain african americans with certain physiques) are so high that you almost don't see them. Their calves are almost the same width as their ankles. It seems like these type of people can leap out of the gym naturally. Is this true? and why?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / length of body positively correlated with vertical?
« on: July 16, 2012, 04:23:32 pm »
For example, a 5'6 michael jordan (exact body comp, leg to torso ratio, etc) would not be able to jump as high as the regular michael because he would not be exerting more power. So does that mean that the 5'6 MJ's vertical (compared to 6'6 MJ's vertical) would be the same ratio as the height of the two?
I know that once an athlete gets to over a certain amount of height, this does not hold true (yao ming is an example)
For example, an olympic lfiter with 40 vertical vs kevin durant with a 40 vertical, is totally different. kevin durant is using his length/flexibility to propel himself up, and olympic lifter is using his sheer power.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Additional strength exercises
« on: July 16, 2012, 04:01:00 pm »
Hi Lance,
I was wondering what other strength exercises I should incorporate in my workouts besides the back squat. My goal is focused on vertical/speed/exposiveness for basketball (to play at an elite/college level), and therefore agility/lateral movement is also important. My goal is to be more like a Russell westbrook/derek rose type of athlete rather than a speed machine like olympic sprinters or long jumpers.
I've been told different things by different sources, some saying incorporate front squats, leg press, etc. And I've thought about doing entirely snatch workouts instead of lifts.
Here is my journal:

Thanks
Also I have yet to do any type of plyo's b/c of body weight and strength isn't at right ratio yet, and knee is still flaring up some times from inflamed meniscus (may go the surgical route at end of the year)

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / benefits of reverse calf raises and reverse leg press?
« on: July 15, 2012, 11:02:37 pm »
Here's an example of reverse calf raise:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPQeT18Gm-M" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPQeT18Gm-M</a>
reverse leg press is where you are strapped upside down and you pull yourself up with your leg:
We know that calf raises and leg press help vertical/explosiveness, but what about the reverse of them?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / knee extensions vs front squats
« on: July 09, 2012, 05:28:49 pm »
which one is recommended to improve quads strength (particularly the tip of the quad), indirectly helping out problematic knees?
Also, anyway to ease the discomfort of front squats?
