Nicely done. Eventually, you want to become more and more powerful in the 1-2-3 jumps, while maintaining good form, with more aggressive arm swings and "speed" if you will. But for now, the way you do it is OK. Remember, the most important thing is to prevent that knee from collapsing.

Also, the sprints look pretty good. Try to think "push hard" during those first 15 meters and "pull easy" during the next 45 meters.

The rudiment hops are fine, but when you come sideways you do have SOME knee collapse. Try to be very ankle dominant on them, with locked knees. You won't get very high, but that's not important. Also, remember to do them backwards as well. Take breaks in between each rudiment hops sets.

WOW
THIS GUY IS STILL GOING AT IT!

I've been followings Scooby's Journals, on and off, for almost 10 years?!?! I remember when we were still posting on older forums "Terminal Vertical", "The Vertical Summit"... and chatting on msn back in the day (when it still existed), he is a genuine guy.

I've never met a person so dedicated to the game but yet so crap... But it only shows how much passion he has for the game.
It amazes me how he has so much going on in his life, work commitments, ankle surgery, marriage, baby...yet still never gives up.

This guy is so inspirational he was able bring together and run a bball team of complete strangers. He ran practices, league games and Videos. He also got into Olympic lifts, leading him to power lifting competitions. I also remember you got very close to being one of the most popular Youtube channels in HK.

You have already accomplished so much. I cant wait till you reach your ultimate goal.

like how you always say... BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

cause i do  ;)

A few things i noticed:

-The DB swings are not explosive, you look like you are going through the motion. Gotta be more explosive ( glute driven ) at the ROM bottom.
-The half squats are too deep.
-The RDL , you are changing knee bend making it more like a regular DL with short ROM. Begin with your knees bent, try to do all the movement without changing that initial bend, just pushing your hips back. When you have to bend the knees more OR bend the back, this is your reversal point.

Not that you are doing all those wrong or anything, those are tiny details, they are subjective too, lets see what raptor has to say too.

Also : YOUR VIDEO EDITING IS MAJESTIC !!!
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Completely agree with everything.

In the RDL, I would also keep the bar closer to my legs. In my personal doing of RDLs, the bar is ALWAYS in contact with my legs. That kind of sucks because it has this tendency to scrape the skin off my legs, but if you just softly graze the skin, it's just going to give you a red spot and nothing else. That's why when I deadlifts I wear long pants and when I do regular deadlift I also have some thick socks under my pants (to prevent my shins from bleeding). Also, I actually don't unlock the knee when doing RDLs. I keep the tibia completely vertical and just push my hips back.

To be honest, I don't see any knee movement, for example if I look at 1:36. So... not sure where you see it, vag? To me it looks like only the hips do their thing.

The half squats are indeed too deep. When I say half squat, I mean "specific jumping ROM squat". So more like 1/4 squats. Use the same reversal point as in the following jump squat set, or as in an actual jump to the rim, since we're training for specificity right now.

The DB swings don't look too bad, I like the hip action there, but indeed - if you don't have a kettlebell, they're hard to "grasp" in terms of correct movement with them. Try a heavier dumbbell, try a 30 kg.

The most I liked were the calf raises. You get some pretty awesome plantar flexion in them, better than mine actually.

Keep doing what you're doing. I'm going to look over the program and see if we change anything or not. IMO you should do another week like this and then make slight modifications towards more specificity.

Thanks for  comment and advice Raptor and Vag.  Will pay attention to those detail in the next weight training session.

140910 Reactive Plyo
Chinese Mid Autum Fest, along with raining day... messed up my schedule.
Last Friday I did the weight training, and I thought I did it with bad from caz i could not felt my Ham working.  2 days later, my hamstring is killing me.. along with my calf.  I am walking with pain the whole Sunday and did do the Plyo as I planned.
Then, it rain and holiday and etc..

Anyway.. is Wednesday and I am here to complete my weekly program.
As documented here:

Ok... let's see...

For the sprints... if these are the conditions you have to run... then that's that.

For the depth jumps - you must be faster than that. Try to be with your hands towards the ground at the time of landing, already. Right now you're with them above your head, then you swing them, and then you jump. That takes time and increases the amortization phase. If you get them down before the landing you can immediately throw them up as you touch the ground and jump immediately. It's not that bad, but I think you could do them a bit faster. Also, drop off your right leg if you plant LR.

The rudiment hops look perfect.

yeah what raptor said about the DJs. i'd just add that you should also have bigger amplitude on the arm swing, you're not getting very much power out of it right now. another way to cue it is to think that your arms should already have gone all the way back and be swinging up when your feet hit the ground.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Hm... there's SOME knee collapse and loss of speed in the modified plant... but keep at it. Also, the arm swing must synchronize perfectly with the take-off, and that takes time.

140924 Session 3 of Raptro's Reactive  Suggestion

Did the Depth jump with adjustment suggested by Raptor and bro from Adarq.org.
Completed the Rad Hop exercise also.
http://youtu.be/ev7mQhc4Raw
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev7mQhc4Raw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev7mQhc4Raw</a>

My left foot is still suffering with minor pain (plantar fasciitis?)  Did the Tie ur sock up method though the night 3 days... but not seems to do much.. now icing the bottom of my foot often with frozen coke bottle.

I had a feeling this pain is due to too much calf work from the harsh calf raise and extensive calf hoping exercise.

Paying attention to the pain level.. I can not let it get any worse..
