I can't. I have no glute control while with both legs planted etc. It's complicated.

You can't flex your glutes while standing?

Raptor · « **Reply #2777 on:** August 01, 2015, 08:30:43 pm »

I can, if my knees are straight. Once they start to approach a half-squat depth, getting the glutes to fired requires a tremendous amount of effort. Like, actively thinking about that happening like crazy. No wonder my half squat sucks.

On the other hand, the glute recruitment becomes better if I just push the hips back, like in a RDL. But once the knees bend (knees travel forward) as in a jump or half squat, the glutes are being turned off.

Updated the final results in my original post of the [HANG POWER CLEAN QUEST]+ [LANCE REST-PAUSE UPPER] ROUTINE :

Quote from: vag on March 09, 2015, 05:17:53 am

RESULTS ( 20 weeks ):

BW : ~87kg ----> ~84kg ( average wet weight at session )

HANG POWER CLEAN : 55kg max ---> 65kg max ( PR )

SQUAT : Played around with it a lot, front squats, paused, MSEM, MEBM, 3RM etc.
Was improving each one but can't report an overall progress.
Only at half squat that i did consistent : 5@110kg ---> 5@140kg ( PR )

RDL : 3x8@85kg ---> 8-8-7@90-95-100kg

BENCH: 12-8-7@55kg ---> 10-7-6@62,5kg

PULLUPS : 7-5-4 ---> 8-7-6 ( PR )

DB ROW : 12-10-8@30kg ---> 10-10-10@36kg

UPRIGHT ROW : 10-10-8@30kg ---> 4x10@35kg

And last but not least, the jumps:
SVJ : 26'' ---> 27''
Dropstep : 30'' ---> 30'5''
1-Step : 30'' ---> 31''
2-Steps : 29'' ---> 31''
3-Steps : n/a ---> 31,5''

Great success overall, absolute strength increase in everything with a 3kg weight loss too.
A few lifetime PRs in there, season PR in all jumps.
Wanted better progress at HPC but can't complain much, i got a 18% absolute and 23% relative strength increase ( 0,63BW-->0.78BW ) while resetting form and making it as much pure hip-power driven as possible.
Good job!

Went to the park. Jogged a mile, relaxed, didn't even time it.
Then tried some jumps, SVJ and dropstep were good ( 27'' / 30'' ) but then i couldn't get over 30'' with more steps.

Went to the park. Same story with 2 days ago.
Jogged a relaxed mile (~11 mins ). Then did some jumps, again SVJ and dropstep were good ( 27'' / 30'' ) but then i couldn't get over 30'' with more steps.
Legs are beat. They need rest. But rest is here, got a couple more sessions before i leave for summer holidays.

7 August 2015

Did a dynamic warmup and then attempted some jumps to close the season with jumping PRs.
Instead i got one of the worse jumping session ever, lol. Legs were off, very very tight quads. Had a few plant collapses and even warmup 25'' submax RVJs hurt a lot at takeoff. Still tried to suck it up and see if they would loosen up on the way.
They didn't, felt shit and max height was 29''.

Holiday time!!!

Enjoy your time off mate.

vag · « **Reply #2787 on:** August 24, 2015, 01:00:21 pm »

^^^Thanks, so i did!
Holiday-wise, everything was awesome.
Training-wise, total off. No training at all, no stretching at all, no nutrition watching at all, nothing. No disaster either, around the same weight, just a tad fatter.
Totally worth it. Back on track tomorrow, season plan soon.

Nice, didn't feel that rusty, didn't get any cramping ETC, DOMS next morning is still not here ( although i know i ain't skipping it ).
BW exactly where i left it, but that is coming from nothing, i guess workout+increased eating+glycogen+water will shoot it up 1-2kg the following days.
