Repost • Look, I’m not a super great athlete, but I’ve had to work on myself significantly to be a better athlete. I haven’t taken steroids or any other performance enhancers. I don’t drink caffeine or anything like that either.
Mike is as enhanced as they come, and he insists he’s an exercise scientist. How the heck is he not able to jump in the sagittal plane? This is all he trains, and he can’t do that apparently. I’m not surprised, because sagittal plane function comes from rotation, but regardless, how does he excuse himself here?
If I was on steroids and I did the way I do it, I would hit higher numbers than 94 inches. That said, those are much higher numbers than what I used to get in college when they measured them. When I was 20, I couldn’t jump at this distance. Is the distance good? Of course not. I want to get into the 130- to 140-inch range. To do that, I really have to understand engineering, but I’m very confident I’ll get there at some point.
All things said, I feel pretty good. I never feel pain unless I induce it on purpose to fix something. Life’s good.
