god those jumps make it even more annoying that you thought the t0ddday method wasn't helping you. do you not see the difference between them and your earlier jumps where you shuffle 8 billion times before taking a couple of random steps toward the basket?
lookin' good, though.

yeah god damn it scooby congrats on the jump but you're almost as frustrating as seifullaah in your own way. you started practicing jumping technique in a thoughtful way, and hey presto you started jumping better. just because you weren't thinking "t0ddday method" while you PR'd doesn't mean it didn't influence you!
also, as someone who has dunked foam balls and volleyballs a bunch of times, i'm with vag: it ain't a dunk until it's a basketball.
that said, with the height you go there you could dunk off a lob, for sure.

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / variation in foot strike -- maybe the best way?

seems like kind of a "no duh" point but it also doesn't seem to have occurred to any of the internets writers yet.

somehow ended up meeting justin verlander and having him offer for me to crash at his house while he was out pitching. i went to sleep in one of the guest rooms and woke up in the middle of the night to kate upton, wearing just a t-shirt or a nightie or something like that, crawling onto the bed. she was talking to me about something, seemed kind of out of it but she came over and kind of lay on top of me. started talking about how she'd lost justin's baby last summer. i was trying to figure out what to do, here's the girlfriend of this guy who's doing me a favor, who seemed really nice, and also i'm thinking of my gf.
but whoops now she's taken her clothes off and is naked and trying to make out with me, and it's KATE UPTON so i start kind of conflictedly making out with her. start fingering her and then i hear people coming home and push her off. realize she's bled onto my finger so i throw on some sweats and try to calm my boner while i run to the bathroom to wash my hand. one of justin's buddies comes into the bathroom and says hi. i play it cool; he asks to borrow a toothbrush so i run and grab a spare from my bag. somehow justin has gone into the guest room and found kate and is talking with her. i swear up and down to the friend that nothing happened, that she came in and lay down with me and i was resisting, and he believes me.
then we're out in the main room of the house, which is like a freaking shopping mall atrium, it's so huge, and i think "this is what you get when you make $20 million a year." we're waiting for justin to come out so i can explain to him what happened. then i woke up.

yes and that's why alwyn cosgrove and the like's bullshit about "would you rather look like a sprinter or a distance runner" is so dumb. because distance runners's pace is what passes for "sprinting" for most people.

yeah but your cardiovascular fitness will improve a lot if you're lighter. combine losing a bit of fat with gradually building up your running distances and you will be swift like an antelope in no time.

@Final Phenom Couple of minutes of jump shots and dribbling and then once I'm a bit warm I switch to layups. Continuous effort (i.e. make a shot, immediately either dribble out for a layup from the other side, repeat), get my heart rate up, breathing a bit heavily, light sweat. Then I do light forward and backward skipping with arm swings, torso rotations, and leg swings. That's it.
tonight:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee but only after about 30 mins
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
- DLRVJ x ~30 mins
not great but not bad. got one easy dunk with the little dodgeball and then switched to the big dodgeball and couldn't get anything to go down. lots of back iron, a fair bit of awkward stuff where the jump didn't get together.
then my mom called and i had to go. brother has been very sick and she just got back into town from visiting him so it seemed more important to go check in with her. gonna do some KB swings, band shit, and stretching and foam rollering now.

i might, some day, run a qualifying time for a lady in the 400. that's the only one that looks even remotely in reach.

not sure what you mean by your muscle mass being enough to support your BMR. your BMR has to do with all kinds of shit, one of which is muscle mass.
with respect to conditioning for the run, how far you can run comfortably now? i don't think pyramiding makes sense, i think you're probably better off doing a linear progression. that's what i'd do myself if i had six weeks to build up. here's an idea.
two days per week, with at least a full day and preferably two in between:
week 1 - run 1.5 miles, set a pace that's challenging so you're pretty gassed by the end but not dead; this becomes your pace for the next weeks
week 2 - run 2 miles, just below the pace you set in week 1
week 3 - run 2.5 miles, same pace as week 2
week 4 - run 3 miles, same pace as week 2
week 5 - run 3.5 miles, same pace
week 6 - run 4 miles one day, 5 miles the second day, same pace
three days per week:
week 1 - walk 40 minutes
week 2 - walk 40 minutes with 8 intervals of hard running, faster than your jogging pace for 30 seconds, get up on your toes
week 3 - walk 40 minutes with 10 intervals of 30 seconds
week 4 - walk 40 minutes with 8 intervals of 45 seconds
week 5 - walk 40 minutes with 10 intervals of 45 seconds
week 6 - walk 40 minutes with 8 intervals of 60 seconds

given how much harder and more consistently you've been training over the past year, i'd be surprised if you didn't get to dunking height faster than i do. i'm strictly in one step forward, one or two steps back mode, and i feel like i have been for a long time. and yet, one of these days that step forward is going to be a 37" jump. god willing.
