adarq, dinno u're a mod at tvs.
i think i read it off there, how ppl were gaining anywhere from 1-4 inches, just by doing LDISOs...
how do i do a version for the quads and glutes, or generally just the legs?
think imma try it.

abt the depth drops, i was trying to do it like the ones sihunt posted on youtube, just landing and holding...
sure hope they work.

903
just thinkin out loud... been a few weeks since i last did any bench presses... just couldnt find the time to work it into a session.
though i've been doing some pushups at home, sure hope i can get some work in under the bar as well...

500 pushups is alot of work...
dun think i'll be able to do that.

question though, why?

905
first time doing OHP, was pretty tough. a compound movement that i cant do my BW in... will be tryin to hit 1x BW for that, without hurting my back or anything... tho i think it prolly has no carryover to jumping...

i realise there's alot of shit out there that i havent tried yet...
LDISOs (wat are they??), that winding thing i read somewhere...


what does LDISO stand for?
right now, before a game, i do some glute bridges, and some BW squats, also advocated somewhere haha...

but this LDISO thing i see, its like everyone is experiencing mad gains, and i want in!
for a squat iso, what do i do, squat down till parallel, and hold for a few mins?

not sure why, but probably due to the recent introduction of plyos and the weekly games, im experiencing some aching (tendonitis) in my left knee...

sure hope it clears up asap...

Happy New Year everyone!

3 x 5 bounding

3 x 5 single leg depth jumps, off mid shin height

3 x 8 single leg rebounding box jumps, mid shin height

2 x 5 single leg depth jumps, height just below knee cap

2 x 5 depth jumps, height a few inches above knee cap

4 x 10 pullups

2 x 5 depth drops, done by jumping off a knee height bench

btw adarq, can u do something to the reply box?
when i quote someone and reply, the view keeps jumping back to the first line of the reply after every keystroke, making the screen jump up and down, doing ankle hops repeatedly :p

funnily, as im typing this, its gone beyond the standard length, so there's a scroll bar at the side, but there's no jumping up and down. initially i thought it might be due to overlong replies...

gonna read up on that link u provided to the vertical summit thread... i skimmed thru ytd, and couldnt make much sense thus far.

nice stuff... how heavy are u?
post a pic!


914
yea, i seriously dunno whats inside that anaconda and surge fuel stuff, but they sayin like its magic...

its not strength per se, but i've always naturally heel strike for jumping for as long as i remember...
dun reckon i'd change however much stronger i might get...  :-\

915

nice work on that one jump.. sometimes thats how it goes though, most times when i'd PR, as soon as I pr'd i would fall off pretty bad.

well, the stronger your calfs/ankles become, the more you will naturally shift from heel->toe to midfoot->toe.. its harder to go midfoot->toe though if you dont plant somewhat sideways..

i wouldnt try and change your foot strike, just keep on strengthening your ankles/calfs and it will happen naturally..

peace man

i was reading the tnation vert thread, dude there was talkin abt how midfoot-toe is better.
why is this the case anyway?


cos i remember u talking abt how this was better too, when u posted pics of that golden child dunks...
