yep. i'm a bad basketball player so take this with a grain of salt, but when i cue myself to pop my hips when i'm shooting my % skyrockets.
i see. i dont think it even matters if youre bad, that there is more evidence that hips are important since it helps you lol. but yea, gonna keep deadlifting.

In Hong Kong right now and am pretty sure they set their rims here at 3 meters instead of 10 ft, so they'd be 9'10. Have been off with my training, so can't land any dunks this trip. gonna be back to training once I'm back home though. Next time I'm back will hopefully be able to land some dunks during pickup games lol

« on: January 02, 2017, 07:21:06 pm »after 3 hours of non-stop research (yes i'm weird), I went with the adidas adios boost 3's instead of the 2's.. For one simple fact, the boost 2's have some 'ridge' down the middle in the forefoot, and people say they can feel it. I know for a fact that will annoy the absolute fu*k out of me, so, I went with the 3's.
I ordered these:
Here's the ridge vs no ridge:
that ridge down the middle looks evil annoying.
ok so.. these are going to be heavy for me (~8 oz) but, I think that'll help me when I try and do some 20+ mile runs.. Well, I think that'll help me more than my NB RC5000v2's - which aren't meant for that - and I think I can feel that they aren't meant for that.
we'll see.
pc!
nice. and don't worry, i'm like that with my shoes too. i'm like obsessed with the technologies and stuff, and always wanna get like the perfect shoe or something.

i remember answering .. lol!
yeah I love the trap bar. If I had one I would use it. I prefer it over deadlift and the high handles help lots of people - better starting position.
As for huge stress on the spine, it's not that huge, especially at the weight i'm lifting. Oh, if you were referring to the video I posted (225 x 45 off pins), ya that wasn't a large stress either. 225 was very easy to handle at that point, felt like 135 feels now. hehe.
fwiw, i've seen people bounce with trap bars, that actually seems fairly dangerous.
pc!
yea same, you definitely don't get enough quad work with the regular barbell deadlift.
and i see. probably for heavier weights the stress would be bad. yea, bouncing is definitely bad, especially since the trap bar is kinda more unstable than i barbell since you don't get really sturdy lockout at the top. i can see some wobbly situations from bouncing at the lockout lol.

« on: December 21, 2016, 03:48:14 am »interesting how i prefer using RL to dunk but prefer using LR to jump up and touch things lol.
this I do not understand..............
do you reach up with a different hand? or same hand? for dunking: LR with L-hand seems better than LR with R-hand... similar to RL with L-hand being better than RL with R-hand.
I could never do it though.. defaulted to jumping max and dunking the same exact way.Quotestill touching 10'2 off one step here. snowed out outside and haven't been to the gym in a while. guess i'm stuck with 1 and 2 step approaches for now. i have another thing thats set up at 10'6, gonna be pretty sick if i can touch that off 2 steps.
nice!
i use my right hand for both. yea, i kinda feel like LR with the right hand allows me to go more straight up whereas i'm jumping more forward off of RL.

still doing plenty of 10'2 touches off 1 step, both plants. it seems like i can't get up without a longer penultimate step now though, so i'm sure the deadlifts i've been doing have been paying off. quads don't get sore much anymore.

« on: December 12, 2016, 05:30:52 am »kinda sucks how strong quadriceps are so beneficial to two foot jumping but here i am stuck with an achy/clicky left quad tendon.
i forget.. but have you seen a PT? get that ish checked out if you can.. this has been going on for a long time.. and the clickyness symptom sounds annoying - tendon could definitely be jacked up.
get it checked!
yea i've seen two PT's. i've been following the first's advice pretty much, basically told me to deadlift to increase strength in glutes/hamstrings and neglect quads and stretch/foam roll them. yea, i'm gonna get an MRI on it soon to figure out what's exactly wrong wtih it lol.

still touching 10'2 really well off 1 step. 1 step vert in the low 30's i think? what i've gotta start drilling down in my head : height over penultimate length.
