Okay I guess I'll add in some machine leg curls with my toes touching each other (can only be done with toes pointing in). And yes, my hamstrings are DEFINITELY lagging behind, but even before they were lagging I've had this (like 12 years old even.

Another thing: how bout some stretches that will also help? Static stretching external rotators?

Upper East Side.

I couldn't even dunk off one leg yesterday, it was pathetic. I'll get one next week.

1864
Mine have been pointing out my entire life. My right one points out more than my left. It's really annoying. How do I fix it?

Well, more importantly, what causes it? How can I find out if it starts at my ankle or my hip?

Darqui what program do you use to make your videos? Windows Movie Maker doesn't have an option for over 720x480 resolution but I want the whole 1920x1080...

Got the other 2 sets and jump attempts on vid now:

Jumps start at 1:17

Edit: Damn it pisses me off that it's not 1080p... gonna do this over.

Re-Edit: Guess windows movie maker can't save movies in 1920x1080 resolution.. highest I'm getting is 720x480, that's not even the first level of HD wtf!!!

Does anyone know any free move makers that allow for 1080p HD???

That looks really high... if you would've pulled your heels to the butt, that would've looked incredible. :ninja:

How much have you practiced your two footed jump since you were pretty much an exclusive one-leg jumper?

Not too much. I don't even remember making the change completely anymore. Probably happened when I jumped from 190lbs to 200+ (with sneakers on). But I only practice my jumps about once a week so that's why I know I can get higher. Haven't been playing much pick up basketball either, I'm actually not that quick and coordinated on defense as I used to be.

Lol there were two attempts:



On that one I'm also on the right side of the backboard, but I didn't get as high so I just put the other one up.

EDIT: Hahha the way my shirt is folding and rolling makes me look like I'm a lard ass!!

My feet are naturally externally rotated and have been like that my whole life. How the hell do I fix it? I can drop a vid of the pic tomorrow, along with another attempt that I did and got maybe 1" lower.

But really, how do I fix the externally rotated feet. I think the problem lies in my hips though. And my right foot points out more than my left.

Update me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiG-ElPF5Sk

355x3 --> 375x1 estimate. Next week I'll go for 365x3.

Two 45's, one 35, one 25, one 5.

My friend didn't have enough 45's so that's why I didn't make it simple with three 45's and two 10's lol.

It's the last (4th) set of my Saturday Smolov Jr workout. My shorts are rolled up in it to expose my thighs. My quads are relatively huge compared to my hamstrings that barely exist. Tomorrow I'll upload 3 of the 4 sets that I did and put it into one video.

I look like an idiot lol.

Squatted 8x4 at ~338lbs Friday and 4x3 at 355lbs Saturday, and got this high today:




Estimating ~38" running vertical there:

Rim is 120"
Bottom of backboard is 114" (or 6inches away from rim)
ASSUMING 6'2" height in shoes (which is 74")
Guessing head is 2" away from backboard:

114" - 2" - 74" = 38"

Head might be 3" from backboard, but I'm like 6'0.5" and this wasn't my best jumping day, so I know FOR SURE I can hit 38" legit. I think if I deload I'll hit 40" no doubt about it in like a month.

EDIT: O btw the 355x5 should move me up to a 375lb max squat in the rankings.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: LR vs RL plant for Dunking
« on: February 12, 2011, 07:56:04 pm »
I'm in the same boat as raptor. I've never dunked RL, but I think I could have if I practiced. But I don't think it's worth for me making the switch because my left leg is both stronger and more elastic (since I used to be a one legged jumper). I wish I were better at RL naturally :(

^^ I'll have to look into that stuff after losing fat this summer then!
