adarq thats broscience, I jump and hit PR's with my left. From all the jumping my left arm is 1-2 inches long than my right and a bit weaker because of that.

not broscience, the dunking/jumps with reaching my arm up definitely have made my right arm stronger overhead than left.

Hm, maybe it's a chicken/egg thing. I reach more naturally with my left hand, even though I'm right handed, because my left shoulder is higher than my right because (presumably) of years of throwing.

right but i've done single arm db bench, standing 1 arm db bench etc, way back, many times.. never had a discrepancy this big.. and i'm left handed.. hehe.

Nice workout man. Great strength.

thanks alot man, ya i'm really pushing hard to get as much strength gains as possible by dec 14.

expect some old-school adarq madness.

do you think adding the large volume of ADA can possible help you PR during this strength block or is it going to pay off more when you get into peaking? seems like its helping combat the fatuige from the high rep stuff 

DEFINITELY.. I had been neglecting reactive work prior to this last week and it showed, without it, my legs felt like mush in my plants during my running verts.. they "felt" great, but I just had horrible force absorption.. the depth drops are to prepare me for shock, i'm planning on hitting a 2-3 week block of 4x10 depth jumps from 30" - 3x/week, so I really need to make sure I get the most out of it by preparing myself with the drops.

for sure though, the depth drops have been making my legs feel alot more powerful already.. last night's jumps felt great, i was surprised.. if tomorrow's feel even better, then i'll be very happy.. the drops themselves felt MUCH better in only the second session since re-introducing them, time to stabilization improved dramatically, so that's a very good sign... right now my legs feel a bit dead, but tonight is MR tucks + upper.. the squat sessions will leave me with more fatigue than the deadlift sessions simply due to the eccentric tension.

I want to get my drops up to about 42" or so, perfect landings.. i might have to do a small submax jump off the ledge i'm using and then stick the landing.. that's not really how I'd prefer to do them, I like going from completely relax to sticking the landing.. dno though, after I get it to about 36+" i'll maybe come up with something.

peace man!
