Hey Genius… The NFL vert numbers are inflated thus making his goal even more unrealistic.
Thanks for proving my point…[/quote]
A true 40" from a standstill is astounding, and a 40" off the run is pretty goddamned impressive as well. Proving your point? Do you even know what your point is?
Look at what your saying, you said they are inflated. Thus making the numbers higher then what were achieved. If the numbers are inflated, as you say, it makes a true 40 less attainable. Thus proving mynpoint he should aim lower. Reread what you wrote…

11.31 , one question for you. What do you think it takes to get a 40 inch vert, be specific and use numbers?
what were you stats whiteflash when you had the running 40 inch vert? Like weight, bf, squat, etc
You would need a negroplasty like Kyle from South Park

I was about 168-170 and was squatting between 385-405. Not sure of the bf but I’d guess about 10%. I’m only 10lbs heavier now but it appears to be all in my upper body. Gonna have to balance that out to get back.

numbers?
worked out las thursday, haven’t been able to lift for awhile
my bf is def. down now and down to about 150 my bf is probably like 8 percent now maybe higher and maybe even lower
anyway did a high volume workout with a friend chest/tris
db’s presses with 60 lbs was the most i ever tried/used before, not stronger now than i was before just never tried 60’s with db’s
bench is way down can’t even get 185 now, when i just missed 225 in the summer. Hopefully the injury/bicep tendon strain will be alright, it’s been bothering me just something feels off
Hopefully will be able to get back to lifitng regurarly soon
left ankle also still a little fucked up from the ankle sprain from probably like a month back, i’ll have to do some rehab for it ROM, right knee still hurting a little need to really do some more foam rollig and flexiblity work around the quads/hip flexors/ it band, low back
left ankle also still a little fucked up from the ankle sprain from probably like a month back, i’ll have to do some rehab for it ROM, right knee still hurting a little need to really do some more foam rollig and flexiblity work around the quads/hip flexors/ it band, low back
injuries+ other stuff haven’t really been able to lift for weeks
real weak now
started this program, won’t have time to finish it bcs planning on doing something else soon, but will do this for a few weeks to get in some good workouts
anyway so in terms of the ankle sprain sports docotr said that the ankle is ok, but i do still have a little discomfort so to do the rehab for it
shoulder he said the bicep tendon strain is healed now, but rotator cuff is aggravated so he gave me some exercises for that
still working on loosening up quads now, hip flexors are decent now, it band still tight
so the first workout
squats 4x6 135
rdl 4x4 135
speed squat 5x2 60
jump squats 3x10 used shorter barbell not sure how much it weighs maybe 25
vj 3x8
toda’s workout
bench 4x7 95
bent over row 4x7 75
push press 4x7 @65
weighted chin ups just did bw went all way up and down brought chest to touch bar 4x7 only completed 7, 7, 6, 3
crazy how weak i got on the bench and push press. The bench i could have done more than 95 but wanted to start low and not trying to go crazy before shoulder is completely ok.
push press bothered me the most, i used to do military presses with more weight and when i trie dit with 75 it was crazy hard so went down to 65, for some reason not sure how to keep elbows out in front like they should be when doing the exercise my elbows kinda go out to the side
yesterday’s workout
depth jumps 3x8 21 inch box
jump split squats 3x10 holding 15 lbs in total db weight
powerclean from blocks 4x5 85
bulgarian squat iso-contract 3x5 per side (5 sec isometric pause when knee is at 90 degrees)
top squat pressing against pins 3x5 reps 6 secs each with 3 sec pause btwn reps
the bulgarian squat iso contract was insanely hard
and the isometric squat pushing up into the puns was one of the hardest and most tiring exercises i’ve ever done
update
wt. 154
bf percentage 6 percent
waist 29 inch
bmr 1808
goal is to gain 1 lb a week for now hopefully almost all muscle
today’s workout last workout from wk 1 of thib’s program
incline press 4x10 @ 65
incline db row 4x10 @10
close grip bench 4x10 @55
barbell curl 4x10 @45 only completed 5 reps on last set
decline db tricep extension (wow just realized nwo i missed the entire exercise just didn’t see it on my paper)
2/1 machine curl 3x5 (5 sec on eccentric portion) with 20 lbs on machine
each hand separate on the machine, according to thibs was supposed to be one bar and on eccentric only use 1 hand and go down in 5 sec but each hand was separate on machine so couldn’t do it that way
today’s wrokout, felt tire dand like shit the entire day, just wanted to sleep all day, but had shit to do
so went to the gym and did wk 2 workout 1
actually felt real strong today
squat 4x6 @145
rdl 4x6 @135,115,95,95
speed squat 5x2 @70 45 sec rest btwn sets
jump squats 3x10 used smaller barbell prob btwn 25-35 lbs
vj 3x10 got a little hgiher than last time, was getting like a few inches from rim last time at highest and this time missed rim by like a couple inches
was feeling real good on the squats, and in the workout
rdl could barely get glutes in mvmt they were hopefullly tired from the squats, i had to reduce the weightdown to 95 will probably do the sets with 95 next time
realize when i squat my right foot is always slightly in front of my left, guess it’s becaues my quad is tighter, also when i step on a scale and have to stand on it my right leg gets like uncomfortable bcs of the position
today’s workout
bench 4x7 @105
bent over row 4x7 at 80
push press 4x7 at 70
weighted chin ups 4x7 just bw all the way up and down chest to bar
felt pretty strong again today, i put 185 to see if i could bench that again now, but just when i lifted it off the rack it felt insanely heavy so i didn’t even try the rep. I haven’t lifted ehavy in a long time so even though i feel strong now it’ll take some time till i can handle those weights again i guess.
the push press was hard again, and only 70 lbs, guess this shows the shoulder weakness/problem
during chin ups got pain in right shoulder, sucks, feels like bicep tendon area again
did a few depth jumps just to see height, felt like getting up high
feel like i’m progressing, but this shoulder thing is really pissing me off
that’s it just upping the weights few pounds each workout and going for 1 lb weight gain each week
weight 156 (+2)
waist 29.4 (.4)
bf 6.9% (+.9)
gained 2 lbs this week good, but mostly fat, need to get more protein
incline press 4x10 @75,70,70,70 crazy hard
incline db row 4x10@ 15 not bad
close grip bench 4x10 @70 easy
barbell curl 4x10 only got 8 last set, hard shit
decline db tricep extension 4x10 @10 hard
2/1 curl used pulley 3x5 (5 sec eccentric with only 1 hand) used 10 lbs on pully at house
knee soreness/werid feeling not that painful, but something is really wrong, i can feel it. it’s never been like this. It’s like my knee hs shifted or something
asked my anatomy professor/chiropractor at school today to take a look at it
luckily he says he doesn’t feel any tear or anything in the meniscus, it’s probably just more irritated then usual, he said he did feel snapping and cracking and the tracking is off
i’m going tot eh school sports doctor on thursday as well i think so i’ll see what he says and hopefully i will be able to start going to PT for it, this problem has been limiting me for a long time and if i don’t fix it now i will probably tear my mcl or something
i realized after the knee started bothering the jump squats, split squats, etc were not a good idea. They probably weren’t the cause of the knee pain and stuff going on now but probably contributed. What i need is to work on flexibilty/muscle balance and strength and focus only on those two before i start doing jump squats and all that stuff and then i’ll actually see results from the jump squats/ plyos stuff.
I’;m gonna try to go to physical therapy during winter break and really iron out the flexiblity/injury issues so i can work out hard/get stronger and not get hurt.
