300+ POUND OLYMPIC LIFTERS JUMPING 10+ FEET FROM A VIRTUAL STAND-

Just to be clear: I believe you're a freaking moron, okay?

Now, about the article, the author states that:

a) weightlifting improves jumping and
b) if you are a pretty good jumper, you might make a pretty good
weightlifter

I think the author may have a chicken versus egg story. Does
weightlifting improve jumping or is the fact that a weightlifter has
that snap something that was there from the beginning and not
something that lifting itself developed or improved upon? I agree,
though, that good jumpers may also prove to be good Olympic lifters.

Take your choice of any of the three following paragraphs from the
link, print it out on glossy paper, wrap it around a hamster, and
shove it up your ass.

"When Ken Patera (the first American to clean and press and clean and
jerk 500 lb. (227 kg) was training with me in 1972, I told him that I
had read that Paul Anderson (1956 Olympic Champion and considered the
strongest man that ever lived) could do a standing long jump of 10' (3
m)."

"He said, "Let me try that again," so he did and this time we measured
11' (3.35 m)! Ken said he was sure he could go further, but the
landing was hurting his knees since he weighed 335 lb. (152 kg) at the
time."

"The gym had three 10' x 10' (3 m x 3 m) platforms that were raised
about 4" (10 cm) off the concrete floor and were 10' (3 m) apart.
David Rigert (1976 90-kg Olympic champion) would do standing jumps
from platform to platform and back several times as part of his
workout, very easy, casually, and just sort of playing around. "

Sure.

Strong quads and glutes and the ability to explode.

> Would they have made proportionally greater distances if given a

Eh... no.

A jump from a stand-still more or less mimics a deep squat, and the
bodyweight is still light enough to release it against gravity.

For a running squat you need a different build, a-la Carl Lewis.

Our speed skaters have programs that look almost the same as what
weightlifters do.

evident that the soul is material.

222. Atheists.--What reason have they for saying that we cannot rise from
the dead? What is more difficult, to be born or to rise again; that what has
never been should be, or that what has been should be again? Is it more
difficult to come into existence than to return to it? Habit makes the one
appear easy to us; want of habit makes the other impossible. A popular way
of thinking!

Why cannot a virgin bear a child? Does a hen not lay eggs without a cock?
What distinguishes these outwardly from others? And who has told us that the
hen may not form the germ as well as the cock?

223. What have they to say against the resurrection, and against the
child-bearing of the Virgin? Which is the more difficult, to produce a man
or an animal, or to reproduce it? And if they had never seen any species of
animals, could they have conjectured whether they were produced without
connection with each other?

224. How I hate these follies of not believing in the Eucharist, etc.! If
the Gospel be true, if Jesus Christ be God, what difficulty is there?

225. Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.

226. Infidels, who profess to follow reason, ought to be exceedingly strong

venerable age commands the
respect of a whole people, is governed by pure and lofty reason, and that he
judges causes according to their true nature without considering those mere
trifles which only affect the imagination of the weak? See him go to sermon,
full of devout zeal, strengthening his reason with the ardour of his love.
He is ready to listen with exemplary respect. Let the preacher appear, and
let nature have given him a hoarse voice or a comical cast of countenance,
or let his barber have given him a bad shave, or let by chance his dress be
more dirtied than usual, then, however great the truths he announces, I
wager our senator loses his gravity.

If the greatest philosopher in the world find himself upon a plank wider
than actually necessary, but hanging over a precipice, his imagination will
prevail, though his reason convince him of his safety. Many cannot bear the
thought without a cold sweat. I will not state all its effects.

Every one knows that the sight of cats or rats, the crushing of a coal,
etc., may unhinge the reason. The tone of voice affects the wisest, and
changes the force of a discourse or a poem.

Love or hate alters the aspect of justice. How much greater confidence has
an advocate, retained with a large fee, in the justice of his cause! How
much better does his bold manner make his case appear to the judges,
deceived as they are by appearances! How ludicrous is reason, blown with a
breath in every direction!

I should have to enumerate almost every action of men who scarce waver save
under her assaults. For reason has been obliged to yield, and the wisest
reason takes as h

have some evident sense of free and
all-sufficient grace, though they give no distinct account of it; but it
is manifest, by that great degree of hope and encouragement they then
conceive, though they were never so sensible of their own vileness and
ill-deservings as they are at that time.

Some, when in such circumstances, have felt that sense of the excellency
of God's justice, appearing in the vindictive exercises of it, against
such sinfulness as theirs was; and have had such a submission of mind in
their idea of this attribute, and of those exercises of it-together with
an exceeding loathing of their own unworthiness, and a kind of
indignation against themselves-that they have sometimes almost called it
a willingness to be damned; though it must be owned they had not clear
and distinct ideas of damnation, nor does any word in the Bible require
such self-denial as this. But the truth is, as some have more clearly
expressed it, that salvation has appeared too good for them, that they
were worthy of nothing but condemnation, and they could not tell how to
think of salvation being bestowed upon them, fearing it was inconsistent
with the glory of God's majesty, that they had so much contemned and
affronted.

That calm of spirit that some persons have found after their legal
distresses, continues some time before any special and delightful
manifestation is made to the soul of the grace of God as revealed in the
gospel. But very often some comfortable and sweet view of a merciful
God, of a sufficient Redeemer, or of some great and joyful things of the
gospel, immediately follows, or in a very little time: and

You probably don't realize who you are dealing with here. I am an 'enabler'
and recognized as one of the best in my field. In fact I enabled Charles who
almost singlehandedly has destroyed this group. I enabled Curt who is one of
the finest trolls ever seen here. And having lost my left arm many years
ago has given me a kind of persepctive and taught me to value life

Ah, if only they could bottle you as a bodybuilding supplement.

I don't think anyone destroyed the group. I just think there are too
many self-professed expert lifters who hang around contributing very
little.

The battle against the sinister cyber troll and stalker John M
Williams, aka "The Enforcer", who was the self-appointed ruler &
moderator of MFW, was long, bitter and of titanic proportions.

It was eventually won when old Fatty Williams collapsed as the result
of the escalating use of his own despicable tactics being turned back
upon him, and he turned tail and ran like the posturing coward he
really is.

A classic example of good winning over evil...

....I now rest in 'lurk mode' awaiting the return of this obsessive
psychopath, when I will once again return to the fray to protect the
citizens of MFW.

Modesty forbids me from taking all the credit...

....but, the bastard sure indicated that he didn't like my tactics and
he surely showed that he doesn't like it up him!! ;o)

Charles, I prefer crocodile mode rather than lurk mode. You know, just

Hear, hear!

As bad as Will Brink, Rob Schuh, and Bully were, they were more silly
than anything. JMW was a real creep-o. Someone like Rob Schuh is
like G.W., almost comic, but JMW is just a creep like Dick Cheney:
"sinister" is ***EXACTLY*** the word!!

But what did you do to him, exactly? You tracked him down and
challenged him to a lift-off?? ;-) Major pwnage, dude!!!

It's a good thing... :-)

Granted, I still learn a lot on Usenet, but I get a lot of laughs too.

And I do honestly try to contribute, when I can.

I'm much the same. Usenet isn't too serious and is primarily for
relaxation. If someone has a serious question on strength and

nutrition questions.

And I read MFW for the laughs and relaxatin.

Proper googling is a wondrous reference resource, if used selectively.
