with my age, I am quite old in this big volleyball family :-))) I was thinking something else,but this is reality.

Don't lose weight, lose fat ?

i'm the younger?

Berny, I'm older than you! So don't worry ?

forever young ! ?

In Tuesday, there is a big chance, that I join to really volleyball club in my age. So please keep your fingers crossed! ?

That's great news!!!!!!!!!!I'll keep them cross,I promise ?

Good Luck Berny, and as we say in Italy "in bocca al lupo" ?

Chrison this is a great idea! It will be like a volleyball facebook.

I tottaly agree with wilfredo ? Let's make it volleyball-movies-facebook.net ?

I think You should also add a link do Youtube profile of each movie maker ?

There should be a friend's list. You can make friends and add them to your list or make new friends.

@Wilfredo: this is volleyball-movies not facebook! don't change things too much on this site please!

Its something different make here section profile and make stupid facebook. If facebook will be here, I just quit, because this stupid social network poisoning me every day in every site. I am not just fanatic against that, but I havent any profile on facebook, and it bothers me. this is too much. Stop with shitty things please...

@Berny: quote you 100%. I don't have facebook profile anymore 'cause it was silly and pointless!

pearl yes, because we are old generation... ?

High five guys! I've exactly the same opinion (about facebook and others sites like this).

Facebook is very useful to gain popularity if you want to use it for good ?)

I don't remember all my closest friends' birthdays ( and I can count them on my fingers), it's terryfing for me just imaginig what wolud it be to have 4000 birthdays of unknown people to celebrate ?

@Berny: yes mate...i guess we're too old for such things ? ?

AleNickel, everything over 1500 is not working, better 1000 friends, but authorities in the social media, so you can have firepower

hanes233, don't give up, train harder and show your intellect ?) There is place for under 2.00m players ?

@hanes233 and also AleNickel: about height, we have a pretty common way of saying here in Italy "il vino buono sta nella botte piccola" which, more or less, sounds like "good wine is in small barrels" ? I think the English for it is "good things come in small sizes" or something like that ?

I know many many people in amateur volleyball (95%), which are smaller than me, BUT - I can say certainly, that height is nothing in volleyball. You have to be quick, smart and powerful, thats all. Dont give up only for your height, its stupid. Volleyball is for everybody and we volleyballers must support these people, who starting with it.

True, true and again true ?

@AleNickel yeh i gess you'r right... i think people give to much importance to height and vertical jumps and forget what is more important in volleyball, inteligence, quickness and learn how to do a little bit of everything. Thanks ?

Is my reach and jump average for my height, age and weight? I havent done any actual gym work on my jump, could it improve and by how much?

For sure you can improve a lot of things if you work hard in gym, not only jump. Gym is mandatory for almost all sports to reach top level

djtiso1, and dont do this now, you too young to it

Why, he will stop growing up ?

More gym, more growth hormone released, saku ?

but he is to young to traing his jump on the gym, I know it , his back and knees arent ready yet to this kind of training, I know by reading many forums and by my own exeprience, it is not good when knees hurts ?

now what he need is running and jumping a lot

and one more raylight ? i know about it but he can exercise chest arms etc. exept legs ?
he will ned his knees to walk in the future ?

Exercising with light weights, more replays.

Roach stay in your weight, you have perfect weight on your age ? don worry, I had in 17 years 192cm and 69 ? so If you see the difference you will let you weight for now ? promise

Don't listen to him, go in the gym, put 15 kg of muscle and make Dennis and Grozer feel ashamed by their biceps ?

I agree: more muscle=hotter ?

I dont say any word about gym, ofcourse practising in gym in perfect, but why 15kg of muscle on his body? Why? Stronger attacking or what? I know you are now joking ofcourse ?

More muscle /natural/, stronger ligaments, thickening of bones, therefore lower risk of injuries during games, more power. It is beneficial for everyone, not just players

at 1.86 he can't be more than 90kg with six pack, of course, but it will help him get the pearls, I mean girls ?

Why 15kg of muscle? 'Cause the eye wants to be satisfied, too! ? (just in case you're wondering...yes, i'm joking, but not too much ;-D ).

@raylight: my boyfriend plays rugby...I know about Muscles ?

Tell me it is not Gatuso, he still thinks he is playing rugby ?

No...Gattuso is pretty short in comparison to my BF and, no matter what he thinks, he doesn't play rugby ?

I didnt say any words about no gym exercises. Ofcourse it is necessary in his years, but 15kg muscles?
Now pearl you provoking me a little bit more, than I expected ?
In 17 years be focused our young friend to volleyball and forgive on girls ? and jump, jump jump and play volleyball and have fun with that ?
Raylight I had some experience in a gym with your 15 kg muscles....3.september 2010 83kg and 19. september 2010 96kg. Only creatine and gym. In the first tournament, my knee crashed and still hurts sometimes. So sometimes is better lower weight and be careful like lets make some muscles and water here. He is still so young to do such a hard changes on your body

Oh c'mon Berny...don't get angry with me!! I'm joking, you know mate ?

If you train lower reps you will get less weight with more strength and less water in the body /even with creatine/ I doubt your knee crashed because of this, look Stokr or Dennis, they are like Ronnie Coleman of volleyball, that's the way a player should be playin'

šuš ? now you gonna angry me. Be careful I am big mad dog now ? maybe only your BF will stop me, but I have very powerful quick volleyball hand ?

ok ray you have right, now he can choose his best decission

You have right too

Yeah Štokr, Štokr plays only hiiiiiigh ball. Because It tooks sooooo long to get his body in the air. He is very strong but very slow. I dont know about Denis, I know only his perfect serve. I never have seen him playing, so its too bad for me.

What's "šuš "?? o_O

you dont know šuš ? ? I dont know exactly is writing. Its english origin I hope. šuš means quiet or be quiet or dont talk(command). We slovakians have almost equal word : čuš (command) ?

Berny: I think the right written form in english is "hush"....btw, okay now i've understood ?

Maybe, but I was 6years ago on school trip in London and one british mother sad their kids, when they bother us word no hush(haš) but it was clearly šuš (talking like without u, just šš). But I dont want to arque with you, I want to provoke you,but again we are discussing so far from this topic ?

?)

what can i do for jump more?

volley: ask Berny...he's an expert on the subject ?

I am not an expert baby ? my vertical is not good with my height ? so maybe someone else ?
Oh just one advice: you want to jump more? so practise jumping more ? and you increase jump with rope jumping ?

Some links on jump exercises are here. Try role down in this topic

Be sure to have proper strength for jumping http://startingstrength.com/index.php/site/the_starting_strength_series_--_shane_hamman/

if i may give one excercises.. Rope Skipping ? but with every time you jump, the rope must go 2 times under your feet... That work's with me ?
