Yess!! I did it! Kids took up my court with the 9'8 rim, went on a court with a 10 and just shot around, went to hang on the rim a few times, then decided why the hell not, and threw up some lobs. Did a few clean dunks. The rest were either misses or were "threading the needle". Really happy though, I'm glad I spent some time lobbing on lower rims cause my lobs are pretty spot on now. It's kinda like shooting really.

Wednesday: deadlifts with 255 lbs. 8,6,6.

went to the gym and tried on my kobe 9 elite high's and went for some rim grabs and the shoes didn't bother me in anyway. these shoes are high tops that go as high as boxing shoes, and i had them laced all the way up, so its a good sign that i don't need lots of dorsiflexion to be able to jump high.

I think the best bounce for bounce balls are the cheap rubber ones. You can get them super inflated and they bounce like crazy. Not ideal to play with but as a lob only ball.

Speaking of balls  what is the best ball for general play and palming in your guys opinion? I have had good experiences with the molten G7 and certain Wilson balls but need to find the grippiest ball out there.

Everyone here uses Wilson evolution.  When it's just slightly deflated it's great and about the only ball I can palm for lefty dunks.  Also Wilson wave is easy to palm but I not great for dribbling...

If I invent a lobbing machine will LBSS buy it? Man I saw a 5'3 (legit) guy dunk off a beautiful self lob and taped it... Amazing.

If that isn't the perfect self lob I don't know what is...

i use the wilson CIS, which is supposed to be the wilson evolution, but it feels a bit different. i just pump it up to the max and its fine for lobbing though. i also have the wilson solution, but i never use it now because it doesnt bounce as well as the CIS.

and isnt that guy 5'2? wish there were more footage of him, hes putting it in pretty easily too.

am starting to think that deadlifting twice a week and dunking as much as i do is gonna be too fatiguing. i last deadlifted on saturday, dunked on saturday and sunday, had a whole day of rest yesterday but i still woke up today feeling like crap. i'm definitely gonna go overboard if i keep this up, so i think i have 2 choices:

1) keep deadlifting twice a week, but cut down to around 2 dunk sessions a week. bulk up a bit and try to pack on some weight as well as muscle.

2)cut down deadlifting to once a week, or maybe even not deadlift a week where i'm feeling bad. keep jumping/dunking whenever i can, possibly 4/5 times a week. eat enough.

i'd enjoy option 2 more cause i enjoy dunking just that much lol. i dont have much of an appetite too, i'm around 150 lbs and just maintaining that is already a bit of a chore. option 1 would potentially be more beneficial to me though?

the difference between 1 and 2-3 is HUGE. look how much longer and faster your last step is. nice.

thanks. was too quad dominant back then. i'd only high bar squat twice a week with oly shoes, no deadlifts or posterior chain work. it got to the point where i couldnt even jump in high top shoes cause they were inhibiting my dorsiflexion. and yea, that is actual proof of my deadlifts paying off lol. gonna check back and see what my broad jump was when i last posted it and test it again. definitely think it'll be improved.

hmm, still determined to make this RL plant work again. gonna ramp up deadlifts to 1-2 times a week, strengthen hamstrings with curls, VMO with TKE's, and then keep untightening the quads with foam rolling and stretching. also might start sprinting, but unsure of what distance i should run.

any insight for me though? i think i may still jump higher off RL, my right leg is stronger too, but i'm still not sure if it's gonna keep bothering my left quadriceps tendon. LR though is pretty fine on it, makes me feel soreness in my left hip, which is a good thing.

whats with the days where you can't get up at all lol. 9'8 rim again today, barely could put down any dunks though. i was jamming pretty hard last week with no sleep lol. fully rested today but was struggling to land one handers.
