Jordan Hasay's last heavy strength training session before Chigago

Chelimo has a silver from 2016. Check your math.

Misread reply. My mistake.

I feel a bomb coming on for Jordan. DFL

I give her credit for the extra hard work she's doing. Good Luck to Jordan!

The music on the video Sucked!!!

Grow up yourself. Jealousy is not a good trait.

Those people are correct.

Paula did. And you wonder why the Africans can't touch what she did or the men can't legally run the equivalent.

Let's not mention all those of the charts blood test scores shall we. I'm sure they are not relevant.

She needs to squat like that so she can carry all that hair around. Definitely impressive for as small as she is.

That guy in the video looks like the opposite of a fitness expert.

How lame when suburban white kids--girls, women particularly--and their trainers hitting the weights with trap gangster rap music on.

Thank you @jordanhasay for sharing your training. God bless you in Chicago.

And who knows what the Africans are doing and how they aren't held to the same accountability? Let's call it even then. Her untouchable performance speaks for itself and the benefits of gym work.

And some people still say you don't need to hit the weight room.

Looks like 4-45 pound plates on each side plus 45 pound bars =405 pounds, what is she 90-105 pounds? About 4 x body weight, impressive.

Definitely bumper plates. Difficult to tell how much she's squatting but looks like at least 3 10s per side; probably like 135 or so... still pretty impressive.

Yup, def outer bumper plates, 405 lbs would probably flex a bit when sitting down and you would probably hear the steel plates vibrating against each other, and frankly, no way she can squat 405.

Also no idea why anyone would user bumper plates on box squats, typically they're used to keep the bar higher off the ground to make it easier on the back, e.g. deadlifts, bent over rows etc. But this bar is racked, and never touches the ground...unless they know the video is going out there and want to disguise how much weight she is lifting.

Jordan is doing 4 reps, perfect! Lift at least 85% one rep max (which works out to about 5-6 reps tops) and you will minimize muscle soreness but get stimulation of type II muscle fibers which are usually neglected by distance runners. Given a choice you should lift weights *before* running, aerobic exercise blunts mTor and reduces the amount of strength gains, lotsa theory/practice about this, Alex Hutchison has talked a lot about it. I've squatted the morning of afternoon easy runs no problem, even some long runs.

Or maybe instead of any devious and deceitful intentions with using bumper plates....the facility only primarily purchased bumper plates for their gym?

What about the split squats?

what's the weight? wrote:

I have a question about this.

Why is she lifting from a rack instead of the floor?

What are the benefits for doing this? Are there any potential drawbacks?

Less stressful to the lower back. Able to lift more weight. She probably does full deadlifts in her program at some point. Rack pulls are just cool because you can lift a crap ton.

Thanks for your answer. Is there any benefit for distance runners in doing full deadlifts as opposed to this?

I'd like to add to what you said.

Full deadlifts are said to be very taxing to the CNS of the posterior chain. It is said you can replicate the effect of deadlifts on the posterior chain by doing rack pulls (lift from knee to upright) and halting deadlifts (lift from ground to knee) on separate days.

Unless you're doing a ton of weight, I'd just do the full deadlift. You should keep things simple, you're not that special.
