i have two friends that say theyve gotten patellar tendonitis(tendon below the knee) before. theyre both one foot jumpers too. my one foot jump was quad dominant which caused my quadricep tendonitis, but how come my patellar tendon is completely fine?

hmm so my standing reach is 7'9 so I'm gonna need 35 inches to put my hand over the rim. I feel like the easiest way to dunk is lobbing the ball so I'm gonna start practicing hard on lower rims for it first

was thinking about bulgarian split squats with dumbbells. problem is that im not sure about the position of the foot im working on. not sure how much the knee should travel forward or how far out my foot needs to be.

hmm, no pain when i drop into a full bodyweight squat. will probably be hitting deadlifts soon to see whether they still hurt or not

got back onto the court for the first time in a long time. no problems shooting around, and then i went for some rim grabs. no pain off LR, but still getting pain in my left knee off RL. hmm it might be that im so used to a really knee dominant RL plant? i seem to be a lot more flexible and hip dominant when i plant LR, and there is like no pain. in fact, i actually felt a little tingling on my right knee planting LR. anyone have any insight?

lol yea, i like to see how high and far these guys run, and how fast they are in the 40 yd dash. really beastly to jump 40+ inches from a standstill while weighing 200+ lbs. unfortunately there are no 6'0 155 lbs NFL players, so i cant compare size with them lol. and yea, nba players arent THAT explosive as everyone thinks, the NFL makes them look like WNBA athletes lol. you cant blame them though i guess, cause you need to have a lot more conditioning rather than pure explosiveness. also, basketball is requires more skill which you can use to make up any athletic disadvantages you have

That is true, but it is just the way it is measured for reference. I guess it just replicates the olympic games measurement system ( see long jump and triple jump ).
Given the chance, not sure if you people are aware, broad jump WAS an olympic event early on : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_long_jump

yup i read about that. also read they still do that in some countries as a competition

totally. for americans the most famous broad jump "competition" is the NFL combine.

aha yup. always watched the NFL occasionally but have just started to get into the NFL combine, and am amazed at how beastly the athletes are

just to confirm, when you measure your Broad jump with measuring tape you line up the start your heels right? it seems like a lot of people line the front of their foot at the start
