ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Could changing the type of squat be more effective for taller athletes?
« on: March 08, 2011, 05:16:57 pm »
It won't be neccesary to change the squat style, even if you're tall.
Get some proper olympic lifting shoes. It's kinda hard to hit the right atg squat position without. Especially for tall athletes with long limbs. It will improve your form, and eventually you'll be able to lift more (Elevating the heels with 1kg plates may work, but it's not the same as wearing proper lifting shoes)
I know VS athletics have some good ones, for a good price
Do-Win are neighter very expencive.

If you would learn and you could use regular cleans and regular snatches you would probably shatter national records.
I was the only one who power snatched and power cleaned. I'm working on the full lifts
My coach says that by doing full lifts I'll gain ca 10kgs in each event j

« on: March 03, 2011, 06:53:04 am »Yeah that sounds good. So you're not currently doing and sprint technique work, like teaching you how to move, how to "step" on the ground, what the proper mechanics are etc?
Yes I do train on sprint technique too. But I only have pure technique practices for high, long and triple jump.

« on: March 03, 2011, 06:08:02 am »What kind of work do you do that your coach labels as "technique work"?
When I do technique work I do:
High jump - Approach runs, jumps from short approaches, scissors, full jumps
Long jump - Approach runs, different exercices to improve take-off rythm, jumps from short or long approaches.
Triple jump - Approach runs, jumps with reduced or full run-ups, usually focusing on phase at the time.
Was that what you ment?

So anyway adistarhj, what are the type of candies that you prefer?
Nah I'm kidding I'm kidding, how is your training going?
It's going well, (thank God)
On Monday I did some high jumping for the first time since May (due to the ankle injury). Not any max jumps, just focusing on getting the rythm and timing.
On Tuesday I did sprinting and bounding.
And todays workout was olympic lifting: Snatch, clean & jerk and explosive 1/4 squats.

You'll have to travel a loooong way then.. Have a good trip!
Haha, talk about gay people, they voted my comment -4. Then they talk gay all day long and be manly. Heck, their right to do it, but LMAO.
What I meant was - you keep things simple and you have a much more mature mentality/awareness than what you'd expect at your age. Those were the reasons
Thanks for the compliment Raptor

« on: February 28, 2011, 04:10:10 pm »I've always jump to see how high I get over the basketball rim and Im 2" from getting my whole hand over the rim. I'm 6'0" tall so that helps. Also how long did it take you to get that strong I just started doing squats and I barely get 170 lbs 2x how long does it take till I'm doing 8 reps of that? And how often would you recommend I do them. Meaning, should I practice daily, every other day...
Any advice on getting stronger in my lower body would be greatly appreciated!
That's pretty good! I don't know any girls who are even close to touching the rim. I'm kinda short, but I still think it's possible some day
During my first months of weight training, I did parallell squats. After about 6 months, I started doing full atg squats and half squats at 120 degree angle. (I know a lot of european world class athletes do it that way) That's what I would recommend.
As a start you can do weightlifting twice a week. Power cleans, back-jerks/jerks, squats, lunges and calf-raises etc are great exercices. Pick one explosive lift, one strength lift and one plyometric exercise each session
And then increase the volume/variety of exercices after a while.Good luck!

« on: February 28, 2011, 03:48:07 pm »Cool thread I'd never noticed this before. I might consider incorporating a few weeks of progressive calf raises and some direct hip hyperextension work (isolated glute work) in the form of partner assisted or manual reverse hyperextensions, barbell hip thrusts, or sled marches. You will notice a near immediate difference in the extension on your sprints with that.
Re: the calf work, have you ever had shin splints? Occassionally on some of your jumps your feet look to be under some stress. The calf work would probably help you stay smoother absorbing force (see some of Steffan Holms videos and notice how quiet he is when landing on all his drills). You definitely have the structure there to work with and a good nervous system.
Thanks for the comment. I do already do these exercices on a weekly basis. The reason for why the landings might seem to be a little ''un smooth'' is probably because I'm not used to my new spikes yet. It's kinda different doing them in long jump spikes vs triple jump spikes. When it comes to sprinting, I could definitely work on my technique
What's the difference? I've always used sprint spikes, or at least I think so.
The TJ spikes have a flat sole, heel and toe equal. They're also quite soft. But at adidas' LJ spikes the heel is much lower that the toe and the sole is very stiff, hard.

I haven't tested it yet.. I keep telling my school to buy a vertec. Maybe I'll use a basketall rim to test it, because it would be nice to know:) What's yours?

« on: February 25, 2011, 02:11:03 pm »Just out of curiosity, what are your sprint times likes (10m fly,30,60,100,200 ect.)?
What are the pbs in LJ and HJ at these days?
I really don't know my sprinting times at the moment. But I'll probably run some 60meters and do the high, long, triple jump next month. I'll keep you updated
The indoor season is not my main goal anyway, but it would be nice to run fast and jump well
Hehe
