thanks guys. will definitely be doing this. i think the hard part will be looking for the vest lol.

i actually train better at home here though lol. i've got my own mini court in my backyard where i have had most of my dunk sessions. also am thinking about getting a barbell set up in my basement for deadlifts.

i've tried a dumbbell before, but it's way too distracting and im not sure if i have bad upper body endurance, but it was harder keeping the dumbbells up than the actual exercise lol. and yea, i'm gonna do them on a chair or box lol. i can just let my off leg hang and not worry about holding it up/testing my flexibility like everybody else is so concerned with lol. i have squat shoes too, but probably gonna do them flat footed. i'm not entirely sure of the difference, but doing them with the squat shoes probably will help with the butt wink, but at the same time make it more knee dominant.

have been sick. think i'm gonna give it a go with ATG squats once i'm better. who knows, it might actually benefit my quadricep tendon? i can do ATG pistol squats and BW ATG squats without pain, so maybe doing them weighted will give some benefit.

275 lb deadlifts 3x5.

lol.

yea, 100m definitely isn't short at all lol. i sprinted around 50m last week and it  felt long for me, i wonder if i'll even have enough gas to finish 100m all the way thru. i was thinking 100m being the shortest cause i'll be heading to an outdoors track next time and i'm not sure if they'll have lines for 30 and 60 metres.

i wanna do it for two main reasons: i enjoy sprinting/timing myself for longer distances and because i wanna get back to jumping off one foot by next summer, and i think that sprinting/running will help.

trap bar deadlift 315 lbs: 6,5,5.

Ah I see. I was thinking more specifically with doing it for athletes. Even more specifically for people that want to dunk lol. If I can earn decent money training people then that'd be great, but if not itd still be an enjoyable thing to train someone to dunk.

Trap bar deadlifts 315 lbs x5,5,5

in my exp. the shoe weight makes no difference lol. unless you were wearing something as heavy as hiking boots thats when it counts, but all ball shoes weigh about the same, i guess the only difference is the placebo a light shoe would give you lol.

I'm actually pretty happy with my Kobe's they're not heavy at all and lowtop, comparable to my running shoes .. the only problem is, and this is a deal breaker ... is that they're not flexible on the top so i dont get much dorsiflexion (?). if i can find a pair of shoes that have that as well i'll be super happy for a dunking shoe (and general basketball).

i have the kobe 9's and i don't think i can find a better shoe for dunking indoors than them. they're low to the ground and flat, so they're not like typical basketball shoes where theres too much cushion and it becomes cumbersome for jumping. also the traction on them is literally GOAT lol. i also had the nike zoom streak lt 2's which have really thin cushion. on court theres barely anything separating you from the ground. the traction on them inside wasn't too good though, but if they did have good traction i would've ordered more pairs. i used them outdoors instead and the traction is completely worn out now.

i really like shoes with thin cushion though. might be a placebo, but i feel like i jump higher in them. you really get to transfer that energy straight into the ground instead of having soft cushioning absorb it. also cool how you can pass for a shorter height without wearing shoes with really thick cushion. my height without shoes is in between 5'11 and 6 ft, so i can pass for 5'11 in my zoom streak lt's and be a sub 6 ft dunker lol. i'm like 6/6'1 in my kobe's though, and 6'2 in my kd 7's.
