ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / how to use glutes when you jump??
« on: January 16, 2013, 06:26:19 pm »
Recently, I've realized that when jumping, using glutes instead of quads is more effective and looks easier for others when you jump as well...
I was just wondering if there is any way to check if you use quads or glutes to jump and if there is any way to change that ?

Alright advice taken!
Thank you for the help yeah i guess i should just wait  :strong:

Oh and do you have any ways to recover injuries like mine faster? Would icing help after 3 months? Or like hotpacks or  anything else?

So, it's like- to get high vert, you have to get stronger - to say it simple, is that right?
But what would you do if you had no access to gym/heavy weights?
Like myself - only have 50kg

Program Review / Flying in four & 7 day vj cure reviews?
« on: January 14, 2013, 09:17:37 pm »
I saw videos by nba3890 training with flying in four... And i wanted to try that. (well it's just a month so i thought why not lol)
(oh and it was free... Same as 7 day vert jump cure. Searched them on google and it was there o_O)

And because both of those programs were written my Kelly, I was more interested to try those two programs.
Is there anyone who tried both of those programs? If so, I want to hear your opinions! (:

Oh and would you recommend using 7 day vj cure (Because it's a activation program that prepares one's body for vj training - as stated in the program),
then flying in four (to get one's body even more prepared) then vjb for full program?
Or if you do that, would you see positive gains?

Cheers  :)

Put your foot sole on something like a rolling pin and just roll it back and forth gently through its ROM. Helped me when I was recovering from an ankle sprain.

Um sorry but i'm new to weight lifting and i don't really know what rolling pin or ROM is... Could you explain that?

I hurt my ankle 3 months ago, and its still healing. I think it's nearly healed, because i didnt feel any moderate to serious pain
when i practiced for basketball and lifted weights for my vj. All i felt was slight soreness and tiredness, but i was fine with it.
But after training, i do feel my ankle's stressed, kinda sore and tired.
And right now im not sure weather i should rest again til my ankle gets healed or to train!
And because of this im wasting my valuable holiday time to train and i feel really frustrated.
So my question is, should i rest? If so, could i still train for bball and vj?
Or should i just keep going with more care?

Thank you!

Wow thanks for great advices ! Never knew pistol squats could be so much lol
Just a question out of topic, i have an injured ankle (the ligament part) which i had for 3 months.
Its healing and i decided to get back on bbal and vj training (and i came here)
During trainings , i dont't feel that much pain in my ankle, but sometimes it feels tired and tiny bit sore.
And AFTER training, my ankle feels stressed and tired with a bit of soreness.
Should i rest my ankles a little bot more? Could i do light to moderate session of bball? Or should i carry on?

Hi, because of the limited weights i have at home (around 45-50kg)
I decided to replace all the squats with pistol squats.
And this thought just came up - how much weight would 50kg (or whatever the weight is- in my case because i'm a newb, around 20-25kg?) on 2 leg squat be?
Sorry if it's a difficult question to understand - all i'm saying is how much would you expect to squat if you can pistol squat 25 or 50 kg?

Hope someone knows! An estimation / prediction would be fine! Would be appreciated (:

Um i think I have few problems though.
3 months ago, i rolled my ankle and hurt my ligament in my ankle, and it's still in process of healing.
Recently, as i mentioned, i got back on doing leg workouts, because my ankle was getting better.
And yesterday, i had a hard and tiring basketball session.
During the workouts, there weren't any pain to tiny bit of soreness in my ankle, but overall, i felt fine.
But after I do workouts, my ankle gets sore. Not very painful, but slightly sore.
What's your opinion on this? Should i rest for a while more until it gets healed completely? If so, would light to moderate session of basketball / leg workout be fine if i don't feel any soreness?

Thanks!

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Some questions about vj and injuries?
« on: January 11, 2013, 01:40:59 am »
Thank you for the advice.
But it my case, it hurts more when i play basketball ( i think its because i play too hard. Because i like to play with speed)
So do you think i should just play lightly?
And what should i do to maintain my vertical?

Thanks!

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Some questions about vj and injuries?
« on: January 11, 2013, 12:28:25 am »

It's been nearly 3 months since I rolled my ankle and hurt my ligament... It is nearly healed and i can do workouts and etc.
But the problem is, my ankle feels slightly sore and somewhat stressed after vj workouts and hard training of basketball.
During training, there are no pain to just tiny bit of pain, so i don't think it's a big deal.
I really wanted to improve in my basketball and most of all, improve my vj so i can dunk by next season (which starts at about march-april)
The question i'm trying to ask is, should i keep on training? Is my ankle injury sore because i'm training too hard or from the training itself?
Should i completely not use my ankle and don't train until my ankle is completely healed?-And what would happen to my vertical?

And just a random question, i started vertical jump bible and completed first worktout, and recently got flying in four and i really wanted to try that.
Do you recommend flying in four (or is it a good program?) And would you recommend doing flying in four first then move on to vjb?

Sorry if there are too many questions!
Thanks!

Thanks for all the advices!

What should i do if i need more strength then plyo though? Should i just do bodyweight strength without plyo program until the last 2 phases? ( because that's what it says for novice if you need more strength)
Also, i just did my 1st day on novice strength program, should i go back to bodyweight and start all over?
Lastly, if it becomes or if it is too easy for me, what should i do? Should i add weights to those exercises or just do novice strength program?

Sorry if it's too much question, and thank you!

And btw, i just looked at the bodyweight program now, and on the first phase it asks me to do bodyweight squat for 2x100, and 3x100 as the weeks go.
Isn't that bad for my vertical and possibly my knees?
