well.... my ceiling is 8' and i cant hit my head on it, but that's because my subconscious/cns keeps me from doing so.. ive hit my head on it before, but it takes me tons of tries.. if there was no ceiling i could hit my head on a 9' object etc.. so, perhaps your vert is 27, or, perhaps your body was shutting you down so you dont smash your head into the ceiling, like mine does..

it honestly takes TONS of effort for me to hit my head on my ceiling because there's so much inhibition going on, my body knows it's stupid to do so... cns is very powerful.

test your vert using touch - reach, you'll get your most accurate numbers there.

peace man

 

great work, that's a nice session.

another pretty good sesh today...

full squats (for the record i am going right down as in pretty much sitting on ankles... is that right?)

took my time and went real slow... felt very nice

3 x 5

1 x 5

Yao:
3 x 4kg x 10

army situps:

reverse crunch

post workout protein drink + contrast showers + about to do leg drains for 15min..


Firstly my legs felt real weird during weights today like they were rock solid... definitely didnt help...

yeh i know i should have done jumps first before the weights but the gym was absolutely packed and i saw that the squat rack was free as soon as i finished warming up so i had to go for it...


Trying to take this seriously now as my goal (to dunk at intercollege tournament) has been moved to august / september now so it is a very real possibility that i could even get an in game dunk by then if i work hard... so basically what could i do to improve / work it the most.... (whether that be schedule /routine etc.) atm prepared to go all out...


and secondly just wondering if ya reckon i should keep trying to build up my full squats or should i keep doing the heavier half squats...



Cheers
