to really get my torso upright - i make sure that my chest faces to the front while i really shove my hips forward (while unbending my quads to get up).



nice cues.

Shoving hips forward? Not up?!

BLASPHEMY!

Cool^^^

IMO it shouldn't take long to get where you want to get considering that you don't need to jump that high to dunk and being tall with long levers tends to amplify whatever strength you have.

Haha good stuff, I get the same thing when I really push through my chinups and pullups - I might get an extra rep at the price of losing 3 or 4 in the next set so... I kinda stop when the speed drops quite a bit.

I mean last time (a few days ago) I got 10-6-4 totaling 20 reps... after I finished my 10 rep set I was like "Getting over 20 reps? haha, it's going to be easy".

i want to see scooby, hyperdunk and seifullaaaaaaah in a gym together for a group workout. who will make the first move toward following advice given to them on here and DOING AN ACTUAL EXERCISE?

i'll be taking bets.

seifullaah at 2:1
hyperdunk at 7:2
scooby at 12:1

tell me what advice should i take.  steven-miller tells me one thing, lancests tells me something else, raptor vag acole tells me something else.  and none of these ppl know the exact condition of my knee.  so i decided that wide stance full squats are the best b/c it doesn't hurt my knee at all.

Follow HarveyM and get surgery.

101 vs 97 = big difference.

256 cm reach is about right for your height. Nightfly here is 6'5 and has a reach of 253cm, or 100 inches.

Anyway, you need ~28-30 inches to dunk cleanly, if you have big hands you're most likely on the 28 inch side of that spectrum, if you can't palm the ball you're on the 30-32 inch side of it.

I remember when some black basketball player came here in Romania, being the only black guy in town, everybody was calling him "nigger".

In fact, even the REFEREE IN THE GAME said "foul, nigger". Sounds like Dave Chappelle doesn't it?

Nobody thought that was an insult, they thought that's the proper way to address a black guy.

Have you tried straight leg deadlifts? If so, do they load your hams better than RDLs?

By the way - it came a guy today in the park that for some reason makes me think of you. I have no idea why. He's got a "calmness" about him... I'm not sure why I'm attributing that and correlating it to you, vag.

Wtf I'm a weird kind of guy ain't I?

Ever since 15 years old I started going to bed at ~3AM because I used phone internet (dial-up) and the phone bill was 10 times less when used from 23 well into the night (up until 6 AM).

So I started and have continued to do it even when I got fiber optic internet. I also watched NBA and all 7 ET games start at 2AM here (it's a 7 hour difference). So I was sometimes going to bed at ~5-6 AM.

Obviously this has messed up my circadian rhythm over time, and I get "awake" at ~19 hours or so. Until then I'm sluggish etc.

At least this is my theory, I think it's pretty logical.

Doesn't gay means "happy"? I was watching a documentary film about WW2 and there was an American army song going "and they were gay that they come home" or something like that :D

Eh, you're getting closer to the truth. Did you really really extended your hand, like really pulling the arm out of the scapula/shoulder socket? (not literally, but you get the idea)

I guess you'd be good to fool NFL reach measurements though :P
