i've been doing ankle hops and pushup isos, and low squat ankle hops, oh and hamstring isos.... every day for about 5 days.

i feel like ive gotten a bit more 'pop' back.. but im just doing that cause i still dont know what i want to do with training.. i kind of think ill get back into dunking eventually.. so this stuff ive been doing has definitely been making me feel my "jump" coming back.

peace

Program Review / Re: Vertfreak

i remember i ordered the program and checked it out...it seemed like they took ACs program and modified it but made it shitty IMO..i did it for a couple weeks and decided it wasnt worth it..but for other people it will work since everyone is different

Never read one of AC's programs so that crappiness was all compiled by my knowledge :)  Thanks!  We have had a pretty solid success rate, and there isn't much out there that is more extensive than VF.

you mean you are seriously telling me you've never read the super hero starter set?

i wonder if it tells you to run meets anonymously with a fake ID, so that you can not have any pressure when running a 10.5.... anonymously.

Haha nope. Calf muscle and Achilles tendon lengths aren't about to change. I've actually thought about this: Would it be possible to surgically lengthen one's Achilles and tighten/shorten the calf muscle? I seriously doubt it because you're dealing with insertion points and grafting muscle to bone and so on. And it'll never happen because who's gonna be the guinea pig? Just hypothetically speaking.

nah i doubt its possible.. with bicep reattachment, you're just reattaching to a spot with more leverage, so you get stronger.. i dont see how you could lengthen the tendon.

genetic engineering will be the future so its all going to start in the womb.

Man, if I could reach 8 feet standing I could touch 10-6 and could dunk a volleyball. Weakly, but still. I'm 5-11 but I only reach 7-5 (I think). Screw having a short reach.

we're white too so that doesn't help ;)

if its low bar, it can be stressful on shoulders/wrists.. or it could be that you just dont back squat often..i think you'll be fine, just inhale some big breathes, hold it, while the bar is on the 'shelf' and you should be fine.. if you're doing that you should adapt to it, if thats all it is.

ya those online calculators suck.. calipers are the way to go.. since most people don't have access, just pinch your fat and look in the mirror ;)

You mean you cannot dunk at all?!?
man that's hard to believe...I bet you'll fly a couple of weeks from now

well nope i can't.. ive jumped like 3 times in two months..

i have pretty bad genetics for power.. without all that frequency/heavy lifting my body turns back into mush.


damn. I know you always say you got bad genetics,I really didn't realize HOW bad you mean.
that does actually make me respect you more than I did for you athletic achievements.
40 inches with this kind of "decompensation" rate is out of this world.

ya im claiming 39 btw ;d, even if i did hit 40, i didnt hit it enough to claim it.. so its not official.. i know 39 fell for a fact though.

ya man, i have horrible genetics for power etc.. almost every time i've deloaded, my vert would drop.. the only time it didn't is when i just transitioned to pure shock-blocks, which isnt a deload..

without weights/plyos I'd probably be 24" SVJ and 30" SVJ max. heh!

in college I was like < 24" svj and 28" rvj, with just bball training/trying to jump max.

i kept up pure intensity for 2 years to get to ~39" rvj.. it takes its toll on you mentally, when you have such shitty genetics, that if you fucking take a week off it drops hardcore, or, when you're PR'n, you partially tear tendons/strain muscles/develop tendonitis.. etc.. shit gets in your head sometimes.. i kept it out for 2 years but i think after i hit the 2 year mark i was just like...... mehhhhhhhhhhhh...

after I tore my hamstring tendon up a bit, every time i was PR'n my jumps, it would resurface.. that really got to me.. its like i just wanted to have fun and dunk/keep progressing, but then i'd have to work around an injury by doing other crap for a month and no jumping.. probably the worst injury I've had (worse than broken bones/torn mcl etc).. cause it just comes back when im making progress, and feels like razorblades in my knee.

so ya that shit got to me a bit, instead of having fun I was just battling too much crap.

I'll probably be jumping a bit more now.. I miss throwing down some self lob dunks.. plus I can make cooler vids when dunking ;d

I want to make gains w/o weights though, I'm tired of weights... those depth drops from 50" got me using full force in my arms to get out of the chair/bed, i can barely walk, so much soreness.. heheh


peace man
