I need to come up with some product that has a fairly limited market appeal to a segment of specialized athletes, charge several times what any sane person who works for their money would pay for it, then find a way to infiltrate the @fit crowd. Ka-ching.
Sorry to break it to you, my simple friend, but Skins are not merely marked up lycra. Skins are teh Anaconda of spandex.
What is BioAcceleration Technology™?
BioAcceleration Technology™ is a term trademarked by Skins™ to refer to the benefits incorporated with engineered gradient compression. The future of technical wear is engineered gradient compression. When compression is engineered to apply a balanced and accurate surface pressure over specific body parts, it triggers an acceleration of blood flow. This increases oxygen delivery to working muscles to enhance their performance. The circulation improvements also help the body to eliminate lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. The combination of these effects allows you to work at a higher rate for longer. The improved oxygenation is most marked in recovery from exercise. As a result, muscle repair is accelerated, with a greater effect if your Skins™ are worn for longer, The best effects on delayed onset muscle soreness (which can last for more than 48 hours) are seen after 8 hours during which time pain, muscle weakness and alertness are dramatically improved.

Well shit, I know what I need to market now - Kryptonite to @fitters who can't afford Skins to use against those who can.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.
A truly rare sighting, Homo Sapiens America Africanus in a @fit gym !! It's been 5 years since I first sipped the kool-aid and this is only my second or third sighting !

@GSElevator: Can we please stop calling them hipsters and go back to calling them pussies?
Blood eagles solve everything.
i dig her lean, at least with her top on. i fear that lowering her bodyfat will just make her tits look more like grapefruits in kneesocks than any large tatas already must by nature.
must inspect.
have you ever been as far as even considered go want to do look more like?

I've recently incorporated jumping into my program to develop power and speed. There's plenty about it in my training log.
I was trying to use proper Olympic lifting to up the power (and acquire a cool skill), but I wasn't making much headway after a few months. My squat training suffered because of the focus on learning the lifts and I didn't get any stronger or bigger or more powerful or faster and had only added a couple of kilos to my classic lifts. I decided just to do weighted and unweighted jumps to complement basic heavy squatting and deadlifting.
If this is a matter of cost/benefit, then jumps are better for me. My wingspan is eight inches greater than my standing height and I have really long legs compared to my torso. I'm built to deadift, not Olympic lift. I was busting my hump with the O-lifts and it was taking a lot of energy away from my squat training. I was stagnating at squats and not getting any benefit from the O-lifts (though I was having fun with them). Other trainees will get more benefit from O-lifting than I did, but I think jumps are better for me.
Now I do squat jumps with 30% of max squat weight for a few doubles and triples before I squat on Mondays, jump onto boxes and sprint in the middle of the week, and then do some paused/lightly weighted jumps before deadlifts on Friday. I just started this, but I'm already feeling more agile and mobile than I did when I was just squatting and deadlifting last year. These jumps are low volume and just a very simple means of teaching my nervous system to turn this "slow" strength I'm building into quick movements. I know from experience that the ability to jump high or turn on strength quickly is something that you can lose as you get stronger if you don't practice jumping and turning on strength quickly.
BUT box jumping for time is even more dipshit stupid than doing Olympic lifts for time. I train my jumps the same way I would the Olympic lifts: when fresh and with sufficient rest between very low rep sets of singles, doubles and triples. I am constantly trying to set new personal bests for heights. I'm trying to jump higher. That will help me jump higher as you may well intuit.
thanks for this, G. ima head over to your log and steal some shit.
