not trying to troll. but strangely my best mate is a really good sprinter and his calves are quite large and and long. hahahaa which is weird. but he has a slight ghetto booty. soooo 1 out of 2 isnt bad.

I have no idea what pisses you off, keep in mind I have been on this site for like 24 hours or something. I am taking in all ideas and believe it or not I am listening and considering getting a good mate to watch my technique etc...

I am not trying to offend anyone, at all. Just coz I dont squat now, doesnt mean next week I cant get into it etc.

Potentially, the reason why people become frustrated with you is because
- they have many years experience more than you or i and you still do not pay attention to all information they provide
- from observation you have come off the mark strong with the amount of posts you have made.

When I was playing soccer and doing gym my gym instructor suggested
Squats, Box jumps and bounds with sprints training.

good luck with the progression of your vertical jump.

Got between 50-51 on some measurement that looks bigger than cm, but less than inches :/ not sure what the hell it is, but 2 mates got 45ish. So I am doing basketball specific plyo like jump shots. Also I started squatting yesterday and predict addiction (it was fun as!!)

I am cutting leg press and calf raises till I plateau in squats. And will continue basketball specific plyo and measuring jump at least monthly, and mayb practice jumps etc (plyo style).

FMD just squat.

shaunton · 15-09-2010, 01:38 AM

yep i have been

love them now haha. thanks every1 for bringing me round to do them

in a vert leap there is plantarflexion of the foot so the gastroc would be used a tiny bit,but if ur doing calf raises to improve ur vert jump than ur wasting ur time! LMAO! do heavy squats and heavy deadlifts at about the 5 rep range,,,,,if ur a complete noob u could dumbell deadlift with around 3 sets of 3 reps. but mix it up every few weeks. do some sessions where u do 1 rep dumbell deadlifts. when u lift the weight dont lower it just drop it and walk away and rest. they all work but variety will be one of the key things!
.....this will improve ur vert jump

shaunton · 16-09-2010, 09:25 PM

thanks, i have begun squats. check my training log if you like. i aint afraid of the barbell deadlifts :P used to do them often. my program now is mainly bench, squats and chinups essentially. with another chest/back/legs exercise chucked in. i completely stopped isolation movements, altho i mite continue doing dips.

Sticky · 16-09-2010, 09:27 PM

Dips arent really an isolation man. Im very much pro dip!

Are your chins wide grip and plams away from you?

shaunton · 17-09-2010, 03:53 AM

unfortunately at the moment, just to be motivated to do chins/to actually be able to do a few, I do close grip, palms facing. And I love dips

I can do like 20-30 for 1 set, or 15 x 3 or more. Last time I tried I was doing weighted dips, by end of the year I wanna be able to do a 20kg added weights to dips x 10 reps... probs wont happen, but im going to build toward it

Sticky · 17-09-2010, 02:54 PM

The dips will come. I can only get 24 bw dips, but can do sets of 8 with 30kg added. Have you tried?

Also, nothing gives your back that fullness quite like a wide grip, dead hang pull up.
Should start hitting them instead of the CG sometimes.

EDIT: Why are you awake at those un-godly hours for? Get some sleep boy!

You definitely need some help with your vertical.

I have a client who is 18, 6'8" and 137kg and he tested 59cm at an NFL camp.

Max tested at 86cm.

Great to see you enjoy squatting, along with cleans and deadlifts, they are the key.
