No, no displacement. C'mon, it's bullshit. I just lifted 110 pounds. It may not be that much but it sure is weight  | ||

Thats why i love oly lifting...i get to lift big weights, get rugby strong, AND its so fucking mentally challenging from the technique/speed/coordinations/flexibility involved. I've been doing it for over a year now and my coach still scoffs at me T_T Happy early birthday! | ||

The entire series is a great read. It's pretty insane with what injuries he still lifted and how those top powerlifters train. Also happy birthday Phyre! | ||

I'm mostly trying to get my vertical leap back, I'm still big a strong, just that I can barely dunk anymore, and just joined a league full of beasts. | ||

Alot of the exercises in insanity are similar to the ones from Air Alert I did when I was a teenager, I've gone from 23" to 29" so far, I was near 40" in high school. I used to have tendonitis in my left knee, I hope that I can get there without putting too much of a strain. | ||

Now is on some p90x/insanity hybrid program. She's cut! But for pure athleticism I wouldn't necessarily recommend that... | ||

I could not finish the 1st day of plyos. I did about 85% and was dead. Plyometrics are killer man, but they pay off in a big way. 3 of us did the strength show thing and air alert from grades 8-12, all 3 of us got around 40" verts (we're 6'4 - 5'9). I miss those days as a gym rat where dunking was the only thing on earth that mattered.  If I remember correctly near the end of the cycle you're doing like 3000 jumps in one session. | ||

It's a pretty impressive lift. I'd like to learn to do that some day. Also @eshlow: I don't see myself squatting 370 lbs in the next year - and a year from now I'll hopefully weigh more anyway. Does that really mean I shouldn't try plyometrics eventually, or just that I should be careful about them? | ||

I should be squatting 440 by next year. But I should also weigh 220. I'm sure that will make a difference. I can see it being a possibility to squat that much... it depends on how often rugby practices end up being though. I only added half what I wanted to to my squat this fall, because I had practice every day and there was no way in hell I could squat after that. Also, I'll need to keep my sleep in check. Should put on another 20 or 30 pounds over winter break though. Got a month to do it anyway... Starts friday, here we go! | ||

Otherwise you may be putting yourself at injury risk. Eshlow can you tell me why this is? Why must you be strong before doing a lot of plyometrics? I am curious. | ||
