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.

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.

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

^^ Lmao I feel like we're in the early 20th century talking about some new technology hahaha

In my experience, the deadlift does pretty much nothing for my jump. I learned from trial and error, and as my squat goes up, my jump directly correlates with it. So I just dropped deadlifting altogether and added an extra day of squatting per week, and my gains accelerated. I squat deep, however, so don't think I'm getting zero p-chain work. In fact, my glutes have been naturally huge since I was a kid, and they continue to grow with my quads. My hamstrings, however, are REALLY little lacking, so I'll add GHR's in the future... Squat Mon/Fri and GHR Wed. Something like that.

HAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

^^ 100% true, but if you're going from 2.0 to 2.5xbw I would assume you'd already be proficient at squatting!
