Yep, that is correct.

(Do it at home, massaging your crotch area in the gym sometimes gets viewed as weird, ignorant fools!) To find the right spot lay down, touch your hipbone and go about an inch down on your leg and to the inside, now lift the upper leg a bit. There should be a muscle that tenses now. (If not lift it up and to the right slight outward rotation.) Massage in circular motions, use quite a bit of force, doesn't need to be long few minutes are enough. Hope you can follow that, much harder to explain than i thought it would be.  Might be something totally different though, so see if it helps if not describe it better. looks like we have a second eshlow  | ||

I like it cause, it engages my shoulders more, and well, it's a nice warmup excercise too. :p. I do it before squats, and mostly every lifting day ;D. I want to do more power Cleans, but dunno, been lacking organization. GOGO POWER CLEANNNNNN | ||

Assisted Chins: 5-3-3-3-2@95 (neutral grip) Front Squat: 120kg 3-3-3 Good Mornings: 67,5kg 8-8-8 The squat rack was occupied, so I had to do the other stuff first. I suck at front squatting (flexibility, tiny fat fingers) and since they are basically an upper body exercise for me, doing bench and chins beforehand surely didn't help. The rest of the workout was pretty decent. | ||

40 x 4.5-3-4 Pulldowns 120 x 10-10-10 Seated OH Press 100 x 5-5-5 DB Lat Raises 30 x 1 Seated OH Press 65 x 8-8 Standing Calves 200 x 12-12-12 Weighted Pullover/downs 90 x 10-10-10 ---------- The 35s for DB lat raises were taken. I didn't want to do them anyway  Anyways, everything else is just dandy. I struggle with the last third of the rep on chin ups. It is my sticking point, but I don't know what my weak point is in that case. Pull downs are fine, I'm going to 130 next time. Seated OH presses are easier for me than standing. And that's about all I got for ya. Good workout, even though I am getting a little sick (Again, need to really get some vitamin D or something) Hopefully I'm recovered for tomorrow. My legs had some DOMs in them today. Boy, when are we getting our forum? I want to have a journal over here too. | ||

I think we need to start bugging the forum bosses again for that forum. I'd really like to be able to add a running thread at least so we aren't scaring so many people off with the "do ss" mantra. | ||

Less core strength necessary to keep your body vertical and underneath the bar, and if there's a back or a foot rest, you can "cheat" pretty well, leaning back a bit. I think we need to start bugging the forum bosses again for that forum. I'd really like to be able to add a running thread at least so we aren't scaring so many people off with the "do ss" mantra. Ah. Okay good. And here I thought I was getting stronger. However I did notice my leaning back when I did 95 lbs. There is both a back and foot rest, but I only use the back rest. Anyways, I fixed it when I did my sets today. But I agree. We'll have to message every single one There have been a few threads I've wanted to make but I don't want to put them in general really. | ||

Do any of you guys train your 50/100m sprints? is it still like any strength training where you would do a sprint 3x5/5x5? do weighted sprints increase your speed or is it just unecessary? My vertical jump (where you just jump straight up into the air) gone from 42cm to 52 cm and back down to 47cm by yesterday. it increased coz i lost abit of weight and i was doing alot of running/basketball and i am now looking to increase it again. i have found this site http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/plyometricexercises.html and found it pretty useful. seem good? Are there any benefits of doing any of the excercises 1 legged? except for the fact that it is harder? Are there any other calisthenics/simple weight training to increase my vertical jump as well? | ||

For sprinting volume, 3x5 or 5x5 would be terrible. Look into "High Intensity Interval Training" - Basically you sprint all out for a period of time, then either rest or jog for a period of time, then sprint again. If you've already got the cardio down to run through an entire basketball game, this should be the main thing you need to do to improve. Weighted sprints are only going to lead to injury. I'm not entirely sure how you would "weight" them - carrying a dumbbell? Strapping heavy things to your wrist/ankles? Either way, don't bother. Plyometrics are helpful, if you've already got strength behind them - especially when it comes to things like vertical jump. These types of things might be useful for changing directions, but if jumping is what you're worried about, look elsewhere. First, Squat heavy. Second, Power clean (or even better, full clean) heavy. The squat is a Huge strength movement, involving the majority of muscles in the body, especially the lower body and core. The power clean (and the full clean) are an explosive movement, that when properly executed take a large portion of that strength, and put it to use very quickly. You can mess around with all the running, the box jumps, the one legged jump squats, whatever.... and they'll give you some results, but anyone who's got a great vertical leap also has a big squat. There's just no better way to develop the leg strength. Get on a strength program like SS - perhaps modified to only work out 2 days a week if you're doing a lot of basketball in between, and you will see an improvement in your basketball, in more areas than just your jump. Some plyometrics are worth doing - and you can add those in eventually, but unless you're already strong, they're not the best way to get where you want to go. | ||

Im really gonna take a break for 2 weeks now and rest up (and lose some of that belly fat!) sucks but oh well gonna go check with a doctor next week too, just to be sure.Seriously, don't worry. Those 2 weeks will work do wonders for you, It's always nice (at least for me) that after a couple of months of hard training and stuff, if I know i'm injured badly, I won't go on until I'm rested. but yes, I've done this once (2weeks) and by the time I got back I was so fucking tired of doing nothing, and Was excited to lift. So yeah, enjoy two weeks of relax and sleep and eat well. Your body will thank you. inmensely. in the mean time, cheer me up! :D 110kg squat coming today . | ||

bodyweight: 160lbs Squat: 175lbs 3x5 (i actually started using my abs for this and man it helps a lot) OHP: 65lbs 3x5 this didn't hurt my shoulder till the last set but even that wasn't bad i think my AC joint is healing up nicely. PC: 105lbs this was really easy and my form is getting pretty good to I also did some lay down leg curls and leg extensions as well as some ab and light shoulder workouts. I feel like ive had a good day and SS is really showing results . Now to work and eat the amazing supper i prepared. | ||
