Coach, i tried kne to foot jumps yesterday as a activation exersice. The result was 7kg gain on my back squat one week old PR. What are your opinion on kne to foot jumps?
I really like this exercise, teaches proper hip action during squatting and jumping movements. I actually use a load when doing it, and even used to perform power cleans this way.
I have a hard time imagining power cleaning this way. Could you describe this technique in more detail ?
Thanks, that’s what I thought. How did you load this heavily though ? (you mentioned a significant load in the past) LOTS of small plates ?

I said that I used a load, not a heavy weight. The most I did it with was 50kg.
looks like an awesome exercice…gona try it…diff from the power cleans and hang cleans…
CT fast question 4 you…what do you think about training with a weighted vest…not for all training days but for circuit training days…and do you have an example of circuit that i can do with a vest…thanks!!!

I used this technique with a fireman I train, mostly to mimic the feeling of the weight of his suit. I have used it with fat loss clients and used it myself when walking.

Is this move not considered a pylometric move to be used sparingly?

Thanks i bought one few months ago…bought it for an exam i have to pass…i guess i ll use it in a circuit training and for my sprints…thanks

Not for sprints, it screws up sprinting mechanics too much
hello coach.i want to ask you 3 question about training.1}when use the doubles technique{this technique that piere roy use with his athletes to improve their perfomances) in an exercise like squat or snatch what is the best volume and intensity tactics to follow for improve the results in the certain exercise?2}when is the CNS overload or overtrained?which is the signal for this overloading and at last is bcaa glutamine and creatine irritant for the CNS?3)which are the ANACONDA supplement facts?
today I tried ramping for the first time and it went as follows for front squat:
135x5,165x5,195x5,225x5,255x5,285x3,315x2
My question is what to do next time. I know we are supposed to autoregulate but do I repeat same setup exactly and hope to get 315x3 then see if i feel I can increase weight and do another 3rm or do I maybe try to add 5lbs to each set from the beginning ie. 140x5,170x5…and so on
2 weeks ago i had to armwrestle a shitfaced a*shole at the disco because he insisted on it for about an hour or so… well, inducing as much force as i was able to, just like in training, i beat him quite easily… but i got the bill 2 days later… i realized extreme aching in my elbow (outside elbow) which indicates to a somewhat tennis-elbow or whatever, but ONLY in pressing movements, so i have some trouble while working chest and tri’s, thank god i’m on a back spec where only straightarm pulldowns on lat day hurt a lil’…
my question is now, if ever a client of yours had that type of problem, what did you suggest him to do? lay off from pressing or everything that induces pain or to go right through it ?

Thib, do you see straight sets as inferior to ramp in all cases ?
For example, one of the Poliquin’s method: take 6RM and do 10 x 3 with it or 10RM for 10 x 5, etc. - do you think it’s unnecessary ?[/quote]
I was hoping he’d answer this also but since he didn’t, I’ll take a stab at it and maybe he can correct me if I’m wrong.
I would think that its ok because the load is submaximal. Straight sets are bad if done with a near maximal load (fort example 10 sets of 3 with a 3 or 4 RM, instead of 6RM). Straight sets with a submaximal load are necessary to fatigue the muscles. Only if you plan on doing a set or 2 to failure than you should ramp instead.
Thanks for all the info on ramping. Since I started doing this my front squat has shot up about 30 lbs. Anyway I had a question about the insulin protocol. I’ve been taking fenuplex with my meals and pre and post work out shakes. Unfortunately insulonomics is expensive and i’m a broke grad student. What would you recomend for timing of insulonomics if I were to only take it once or twice a day?

What kinda diet are you on? If you have carbs in your diet, take it with your carb meals, if not take it with the evening meals as you are less insulin sensitive.

I try to limit the starchy carbs with breakfast and usually only on lifting days (M,T,TH,F). Breakfast is typically 4 whole eggs over easy cooked in coconut oil with GOLean cereal with blueberries and a banana. Dinner is usually chicken or fish with veggies and lunch is usually left overs from dinner. I have almonds/walnuts for snacks along with a protein shake with added fiber to carry me in between meals. Pre and PWO shake is 25g whey isolate with 5g creatine and 30-40g dextrose added and 25g whey isolate periworkout. So I would assume insulonomics at dinner and PWO?
Just read through this whole thread. I know the split isn’t that important, but I wonder if what I’m doing may be too taxing on my CNS to achieve optimal results in a fat loss phase:
M-Upper Body (heavy vert push/pull & triceps-ramp to 3RM, lighter horiz push/pull-ramp to 5RM)
T-Lower Body (squat ramp to 5RM w/ lots of ramping unilateral work and calf work)
W-Off
Th-Upper Body (heavy horz push/pull & biceps-ramp to 3RM, lighter vert push/pull & triceps-ramp to 5-7RM)
F-Lower Body (Deadlift ramp to 3RM w/ ramping unilateral work and calf work +some traps)
Sa/Su-Off
Upper Body work done in antagonist pairs.
Also doing 20-30mins of SS cardio M-F.
Eating low carbs except before training (and 1 serving of fruit at breakfast). CHY Pulsing before meals. Using your protocol with minor modifications:
-120 Last solid meal before workout
-90 Alpha GPC (2 caps)
-45 SWF (2 scoops)
-10-15 SR (1 scoop) +5g Creatine
0 CHY (24g) +5g Creatine, 5g Beta Alanine
+60 CHY (12-15g) this is 60mins after weights, I’m doing 15-25mins of cardio after weights
+75-90 Whey/Casein Shake w/ ground flax and fish oil
Is this too many heavy sessions during the week, or should the protocol keep me from burning out?
Anything you would do to improve upon the training, diet, or supplement protocol?
