you can't really hit peak anything without practicing technique. so, IMO, if your goal is to really max out your jumping ability, at some point you need to pick LR or RL and get really smooth at it. if something is making you feel injured (like LR seems to be for you), back off it. you can always come back to it later.

eh, i think you should ask for $65K. if they want you but don't want to pay you that much they'll counteroffer. if they don't want you, it doesn't matter how much you ask for.

that's a good point. i noticed the job posting was taken down, which means they've already narrowed down their candidates to me and some others. I asked the HR guy for the job posting and he sent me one that seems to be for a senior info sec analyst position by accident. emailed them back to confirm but nothing... the job duties are a ton, and they required 3+ years infosec exp... fake it till ya make it!

truth

that gives the range for information security analysts in NYC as $61-105K. so $65 seems eminently reasonable.

also, acole, those one-step jumps are looking better. but you still don't seem to be adding that much speed with the first step. you're mostly just bouncing off that foot and then planting. i try to think about using each step to accelerate my center of gravity forward and down. getting low is probably my most important cue at this point.

the proof is in the performance, obviously: if you're jumping higher with subsequent steps, you're adding power. just food for thought.

what you are best at, without a doubt, is overthinking your own weaknesses.

my right hip has been killing me since i woke up this morning. trying to stretch/work it out. weird.

EDIT: went to gym but right hip still bugging me. decided not to push it. gonna stretch and foam roll now but otherwise rest and hope it goes away tomorrow.

the two passes that come back-to-back starting at 2:43 in that video are bonkers.

ETA: i just went and looked at his stats, and there were only two seasons (05-06 and 06-07) where he averaged more than a dunk a game. that seems hard to believe.

i say this as the most squat-obsessed wannabe dunker in the history of this forum: fuck squatting. do what mutumb000 said. you can still do it, but stop trying to push your numbers on it. you're strong enough to get up just fine.
