Friggin horrible! BUT that just means there's so much room for improvement... if that was perfect jump form then you would have trouble gaining more inches 

1. You're going to have to run faster.
2. You're going to have to learn to come into the basket at an angle.
3. You need to jump further from the basket at take-off (I have this problem too).
4. You're barely even.... planting. I swear, on both jumps, I thought you were going to take off from one foot.
5. Practice jumping without the ball first to work on technique and learn to use your arms when you jump (the swing).

If I were you, Raptor, I'd enter your max in pounds and THEN follow the spreadsheet. But convert back to kg.

10kg is a bigger jump than 20lbs, and the same from 5kg-->10lbs.

We can like comments now? since when?

since today

just fixed it, seems to be working good now.. so ya, you can like individual posts.. i think its good, some posts need to be liked and shared on facebook for sure, alot of good ideas/posts/analysis/vids go unnoticed, this might help to spread things a bit more.

u "like it" ?

pC

I was on at the exact moment that you put it on, but also had just signed on FB so i thought my computer was bugging out.

Like i was on my journal, hit refresh, and then bam, all the like buttons. wow.

Good morning stretch... I don't like reach stretches, because they also stretch my lower back. I don't want that.

Also, RDLs! They stretch the hamstrings like crazy, especially since there's resistance. Do some light RDL's and you'll feel it.

Is it Smolov JR the "Smolov program - Base mesocycle"  in here http://joeskopec.com/smolov.html ?

Anyway, did you put in your real 1RM with the program or a little less than your true 1RM? For example, if I'm to use it, I think I'll insert a lower 1RM number than my real 1RM (say - 135 instead of 140-145).

I used a tested 1RM, 2 days prior to starting the program.

Smolov JR = Smolov Base Mesocyle with a slightly different rep scheme to make it slightly easier.

Just a note, if I were you Gary, I would absolutely continue squatting during the switching phase, maybe 3x a week.

Of course I mean light squatting

But 15 days of no squatting in a row (base cycle ends on a saturday, next cycle starts 3 mondays later) will DEFINITELY make you lose a lot of neural strength in the squat, especially after getting in 12 high-volume squat sessions in just 3 weeks.

x2, never go 72 hours without squatting imo.. submax/rep effort is better than no effort, that's for sure..

neural gains are still physiological, people forget that..

dreyth is a smolov expert, so his advice is highly respected :F

haha lol, did smolov jr for 9 weeks straight and i'm planning on doing it again after the summer.
