2019 Vert Comp
« on: January 09, 2019, 10:34:20 pm »

So I'm a competitive bastard. Even seeing other people at the gym makes me competitive and I think I do my best when I've got something to go up against. Is anyone up for a vert comp? I'm thinking test verts - train - test verts again - profit!

Thoughts?

I've titled it 2019 but I'm thinking more a 12 or 16 week thing.

Nice. I haven't tested in ages. Will get my baseline next week.

Yes definitely go with a hashtag. #2019vertcomp does seem to fit nicely. Any other suggestions?

Mate I reckon a couple of sneaky jumps would see you do quite well...

tbh, i bet it would. that's what's crazy. all of this running has me feeling so springy/powerful. sometimes i jump up onto the curb and such, or over a small railing, or over that snake several months ago (lol), and i feel so good, almost dunk level. obviously don't have that peak power anymore, but running has definitely kept that spring going. getting some of that jump specific power back would just require actual jump sessions. would be cool to do long light runs with "strides" but instead, jumps. imagine slow quarter mile recovery laps with a L-SLRVJ every lap, going at a vertec (that sounds pretty fun lmao). all of this sounds kind of "steepler" ish.

for a while now, i've been interested in potentially jumping on grass.. :ninja: i wouldn't jump on hard courts anymore, or even indoor gyms. but i really do love springy grass. would be cool to buy a vertec and get some jumps in eventually. dragging it out there would suck tho. hah.

for now, i'll just spectate. 8)

:D :ibjumping:

Just out of interests sake maybe do a few tests. Once a month or something. Just to see where you are?

ya i'd need to figure out a way to measure it properly, on grass (ie a real or turf football field, touches on the goal post etc).

need to think about it.

I guess I will join. My hat off to acole14 for wasting me in our vertical gain competition..... I went negative 1 in while he at least maintained and gained.....

I am at 220 lb and sub 400 full paused squat, my prime was either many eyars ago at 178 lb and 315 or 215 and 405lb squat, not sure which one was better.....

dno which is better, but i'd go with lighter bw + strong squat rather than heavy bw + strong squat, even at the same relative strength levels. regardless, vert comp def needs more jumping.

doesn't matter what your squat is, if you're not jumping enough.

my 2cents!
