Solution to shin splints, run/walk backward. Inclines help more as well. It's an easy process to flip the antagonist-protagonist relationship of the anterior-tibialis and the Gastronemius and Soleus muscles.
Oh yeah for shin splints, did depth drops not work? I thought that depth drops are one of the best ways to prevent shin splints because they just cause your bones to absorb a lot of force. As well as bounding. Maybe drop the strength training and go lighter
That's a good squat style, I prefer to squat like that too, jumping the weight at the top. Whoever was sprinting in the middle looks way. Was that you at 1:30? You look way faster sprinting than jumping. Jumping you always looked like your RFD was way behind your strength levels
@jumptrainee1 well creatine will get him stronger, maybe more explosive, cause thats what creatine does. hell also prolly gain some more weight. about shin splints, he needs to strenghten his anterior tibialis, there are a lot of ways to do that. type in search at yt : destorm shin splints, theres a good way to stretch those muscles after a workout
@Luraj7 what I'm saying is getting stronger isn't a problem for him. Creatine doesn't make you stronger. It potentially allows you to get more reps in lifting sets by sustaining the phosphate-creatine energy system. It definitely does not make anyone more explosive. And like the video says Chris has been doing all kinds of lower leg exercises for a couple years, including tibialis anterior work, but shin splints are just tough to get rid of without stopping the high force activity
@jumptrainee1 I've been able to deal with my shin splints by spraying very cold water on my lower legs in the shower after the workout... it could work for him too, even puting ice bags on it or something, but just cold water instantly kills shin splints for me until the next training
some of these exercises i'm afraid to do so coz it might end up in a disaster. seriously speaking i can deadlift 180lbs now but the hang clean etc i can't go on more than 70-90lbs. i know it's difficult but is there any way that i can improve that?
I always got shin splints. Like you said, they were difficult to deal with. It was a habitual problem for me.
Recently incorporated barefoot running into my training and they are gone.
Stanford's track team incorporates some barefoot running into their workouts to strengthen the feet and lower leg muscles. The acclimation period is a headache but that might be something to try.
@beastfrog20 to focus on 1-foot jumping the most important thing is to practice it. try doing 10 running jumps off each leg 3 times a week. apart from that, the strength, power, and plyometric training I show in my videos is good for any athletic movement
@jumptrainee1 Any reason for that switch? I'm squatting low bar hip driven (since I have a knee condition that doesn't like the high bar squat anyway) but I think it's kind of silly to think that even with a hip driven squat - the quad doesn't get enough stimulation. You can't really lift heavy weight without a pretty big quad involvement.
Instead, I'm going with low bar full squats one day and low bar (or high) HALF squats (more quad emphasis) on another day. Half squats might be an answer.
@Raptorel I was pushing my hips back and using a high bar placement, so I had to change something. I could have just switched to low bar placement, but I wanted to focus on the quads so I kept the bar placement and changed my movement. My DL is 80-100 lbs heavier than my squat. My quads are a weak area, so I don't want to just not neglect them. I want to target them. Also I think the positioning of a quad driven squat is just more athletic.
@jumptrainee1 Yeah I know what you mean. My low bar hip driven squat is 150 kg now and my deadlift is 180 kg... but I definitely have quad weakness (I can hardly actively decelerate after sprints, change directions, stop on a dime etc - all indicative of low quad strength).
My problems are the VMOs - they hardly get innervated and "alive". The right knee, the knee with the problem, has a very small VMO... I'm currently doing some sort of elevated heel stepups to counter that but... no sled btw
@jumptrainee1 No but I can imagine how it feels. You could say it's pretty much the opposite of downhill sprints :))
For some weird reason, whenever I do bulgarian split squats I never feel my VMOs firing. It's usually great glute soreness but as far as quads go, they're not tired at all. I should try a closer stance and a more foward going knee maybe...

have you considered on getting Chris on some supplements? like creatine? or maybe improve his flexibility

@Luraj7 his flexibility is great and I don't know what the purpose of creatine would be. His lifting is great. the shins are the only problem

If you were using a hips back / high bar squat, what are you using now? Quad driven high bar or hips back low bar?

@Raptorel quad driven high bar, or at least more toward that end of the spectrum. it's in my new squat video

@Raptorel ever pushed a car up a hill for your quads? it's really effective I think, just not something you can count on doing all the time.
