See what I can get. Gogo 800lbs...
LAME!
Sean S said:Actually I have seen that 1/4 squat fast motion suggested for improving jumping ability. However, I don't think that's what he's doing.

Madmick said:For jumping, 1/2 squats are useful, but even in a jump, you go down farther than 1/4. But you can also train full squats for leaping ability. The best exercise for jumping I ever did was Don Chu's 5-5-5 routine:
5 Full Squats, 2-1 Eccentric/Concentric Tempo, into
5 Full Squats, Dynamic Tempo (fast as you can go with good form), into
5 Jump Squats
Of all the exercises and plyometrics I did, these, simple old school rim jumps and of course depth jumps worked the best.
But the 5-5-5 had me doing 270's with two hands. Actually, today I brought my head to within 2 inches of the orange breakaway box underneath the basket.
or maybe a vid of you benchin over 3 plates with no bench shirt? we are waitingDan181 said:TL, DR...
Carnal, is that the same guy from the quarter-dip video? When do we get to see a 2" rack dead vid? Or some spotter assisted 5-board-press?
Keep 'em coming!
Sean S said:Out of curiosity, how often did you do this routine and was it the only jumping routine you did?
