Are the quads really that active during pistols? I swear I get very little quad activity when I pistol squat on my left leg (using good technique) and a ton of quad activity when I pistol squat on my right leg, with bad technique.

Yeah but ideally you should be able to dunk with any ball regardless of its grip.

Well go back in time and choose parents with great hand size genetics and great hand skin grip. :P

No, you don't need to work on your palming, you just need a ball with a better grip. I've had this discussion over and over and over, and it's 100% in the ball. I have balls that I can "palm" and really hold onto them using just two fingers, they have that good of a grip.

You'd definitely dunk with such a ball, and also move much better with it.

Use a better ball the next time, with more grip.

Nah but seriously, you can see she will look good when she grows up. Nothing pedophiliac about that, just observation.

He reminds me of Rodney Carney.

Yeah but it looks extremely hard even from the 5th rep or so... to me, it doesn't make any sense to use that kind of weight.

Why the heck would you go overboard like that in terms of weight... it's obvious you can't do it for 8 reps...

But then again - nothing is surprising about you anymore.

Very nice. These front squats should really help you.

This used to be a text document I had in my computer circa ~2000 or so... had all these crazy VJ numbers.

Wilt Chamberlain   NBA   7' 1"   48"

2.16m height + 1.20m jump = 3.36m head height. Basically Wilt was with his head at 11'1. Sounds pretty legit.

I know because I suck off two feet, and I tend to have this bad high center of gravity run-ups that when I actually plant I "crash" into the ground and never recover. So I'm actually doing a depth drop, stabilizing the landing, and then do a standing vertical jump. Except instead of that I have a "momentum" SVJ which results in a HORRIBLE jump.

3660
You probably maintain a lower center of gravity during the run-up in the successful ones.
