Yep, I do a lot of sitting at the computer, so you'd guess I would have lower back pain, but I have none. The only thing that I wish I never had was chronic quadricep tendinosis of my left knee from one foot jumping. It still bothers me a bit, but I think it might just be scar tissue.

I see. I'm reading about anterior pelvic tilt right now though and it says to fix it, I have to strengthen my glutes and hamstrings, and stretch my quads and psoas, which is what I'm doing right now. Might not necesarily mean I have it though I guess.

I see. Well that's probably gonna take me more than a year I guess. I wish we had a vertec at my gym too though, 10'6 is just a rough estimate.

I see. I'll add in the kettlebell swings too then. I used to do them, seems like a submaximal exercise more for proprioception than a max effort type of thing.

Still wish I could jump off one foot. Better safe than sorry though, so I think I'm gonna give it like 1-2 years before having dunk sessions off one. In the meanwhile, lots of quad stretching/foam rolling, deadlifts, RDL's, and leg curls. When do you think I'll be truely hip dominant and not have to worry about further damaging my quadricep tendon?

Used them in the past. However, when you do them, the middle of the bar is displaced from the middle of the moving leg so to speak... and that is sometimes bad for your back. The bar sits in the middle of your body, whereas you're moving with either your left or right leg and sometimes that's problematic.

Don't you instead just center the bar over the leg you're working with?

And can you still dunk?

nope.. i haven't tried but with a max of 10'6 and avg 10'3-10'4, most definitely can't.

Wish that I still could jump off one foot too lol, too bad I messed up my knee jumping off one foot while being quad dominant.

damn.. how did you attribute this knee injury to being quad dominant?

I think my peak jumping off one foot was around 10'6 too, and I was able to dunk, but only kadour ziani style lol

ziani style is with a small ball or with grippy substance for your hand? lool

pc!

I think it was cause i was so quad dominant to the point where I was getting most of the power from my quads. It was fine being a quad dominant two foot jumper as the force was being dispersed over the two quad tendons, but off one foot, all of it is concentrated on that one tendon.

Ziani style with just a regular ball lol. I can't truely palm the ball like NBA players, but it's still possible to get a good grip on it when you use the seams.
