In the training programs for the novice, why do we only do chin ups and pullups once a week respectively? And does doing squats and calf raises increase your vertical jump? edit: is there any place/site that sells detatchable chin up bars. | ||

What is so scary about it? @jjhchsc2: heavy squats and deadlifts will give more to your vertical than calf raises. On the original starting strength program you didn't do pullups/chinups at all. EDIT @FFGen: The squat was better now, hitting depth. It looked though you were putting all the tension into the knees rather than the hips. Don't know exactly how to advise you to do it other than standing a little wider and sitting more back  Also, work on your flexibility and mobility, it is sorely lacking.The deadlift looked ok, explosive and all. You might want to try and keep your back a little flatter in the setup. | ||

one of the hard things for me is my ankle/foot flexibility i think, if anyone knows what i mean... im trying to keep my feet relatively "toes pointed slightly out" but its more natural for me to do "toes pointed much much more out, like really out". oc that just fucks with my knee positioning etc. as for "sitting back", well i tried but couldnt mentally process how to do it!!!! kinda wondering if i should cash out for a trainer session. gtg to work omg | ||

It's like the third time I've reset, and I feel like I'm coming to the end of my possible gains from the program... I know how goddamn hard the workouts get when it starts getting heavy and to think I'll be doing that in a few weeks makes me wonder if I'll be ready for it. But when I plateau next I'm probably going to move to madcow 5x5 or bill starr or texas method, I've gotta put some research in... | ||

Calf raises don't do jack =\ If you think about the muscles you would use to launch 100-200 lbs of mass 2-3 feet into the air, it's going to be mostly hip/quad dominant. Just following basic starting strength will improve your vert by a good amount. The squats, deadlifts, and powercleans have given me a couple of extra inches. The powerclean seems to be an especially good movement to train for jumping, since it increases strength, teaches explosiveness, and helps your body remember a good jumping motion (hips, knees, ankles extending at the same time). What sport do you play? | ||

And does doing squats and calf raises increase your vertical jump? edit: is there any place/site that sells detatchable chin up bars. First, the basic novice program for SS does not have any chin ups and pullups. But there is a variation that sacrifices powercleans for those. In that variation, you only do those once a week because you are doing one major back exercise every workout; monday is chinups, wednesday is deadlifts, friday is pullups. You would be overtraining if you did these more often, especially if you're bulking. Things in SS that increase your vertical jump: every exercise except for press and bench. Calf raises are useless, unless you can't do max weight for reps, but even so it's inefficient and saving your energy and recovery for deadlifts, squats, and powercleans would be much better for vertical jump. I used to have awesome calves when I played lacrosse, was always fastest off the ground too. Advantages of being shorter and more of a sprinter instead of endurance runner...

Be a girl and stick your ass out! | ||

Also front angle is good for looking at how the knees track But side angle gives us the best view of lumbar spine, sitting back, hip drive, and all that jazz. If you can only get one camara angle get the side and maybe slightly offset to front or back but mostly side angle | ||

Thought some of you might find this interesting. It just counts the calories of your custom made subway. There is another calc for Chipolte's. Just found out my standard "hungry" sub is 1500kcal o.O | ||

Deadlift: 175kgx5 P.Clean: 50kgx3x3 Last rep on Squats was dangerous... cannot believe I went for it. Deadlift was hard as well, this was definitely my last 10lb increase. But there is still some left in the SS-tank. Very satisfied with the Cleans. Hook-grip felt good and I touched my thighs on every rep, which means I pulled close enough to my body. But I still pull too much with my arms. | ||
