you thought you had cut down on choppy steps, but you had not cut them out. be more efficient, be faster. be more efficient, be faster. be more efficient, be faster.

and i can't echo enough chris's point about not trying to imitate someone else. you have to optimize what works for you.

FIF Day 14

- rest

skipped because i did it yesterday

FIF Day 15

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: a little stressed at the beginning but calmed down while warming up

- warm up

- depth jump @15" x 5,5,5,5
pretty much always twist to the right on these, about 20 degrees. interesting.

- jump squat 70 x 8,8,8,8
no reset except on third set. 70lbs=40% of system weight, as rx'd.

- RVJ or SVJ x 2 (optional)
skipped because i did a couple during warm up

- reverse hyper x 15,15,15
pointed toes, more challenging, more engagement from hamstrings. made it easier to keep feet together, as well.

- stretch

your approach sucks, way too many choppy steps that add nothing. t0ddday method, t0ddday method, t0ddday method, t0ddday method, t0ddday method. go look in dreyth's journal, it's on the second-to-last page now if you need a reference.

yeah sorry, i meant cowed, not scooby. the post is here: http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/from-bull-to-beast-hopefully/msg102949/#msg102949.

1. do a standing jump.
2. walk back and do a one-step jump. if it's higher than your SVJ, then proceed to 3. if not, continue doing one-step jumps, messing with your approach, trying different amounts of knee bend, different distances, etc., until one-step is higher than SVJ.
3. walk back a little farther and do a two-step jump. if this is higher than your one-step, proceed to 4. if not, repeat the second part of 2.
4. walk back a little farther and do a three-step jump. proceed as above.
5. etc., until the extra step no longer gets you any higher.

you are not allowed to add a step until that step consistently gives you more height over previous steps. this isn't that specific to basketball, because it grooves a very specific pattern. but if you're just trying to dunk anything at all under perfect circumstances (join the club!), then it's a good method.

one thing to add is that it's also useful as a day-to-day AREG thing. for example, i always jump higher off a step than from standing (obviously). but on days when i'm not super bouncy or smooth for whatever reason i might get no more benefit off three steps than two. so that day i only do two step jumps.

i'm mostly impressed that you're getting that high off two with no arm swing.

That's the last time i tomahawked. The only time actually. Or maybe I did it a few times? Can't really remember. But yea since that month in april 2014 i haven't done it. almost 5 years ago.

I dont have an arm swing there but i figured out some technique with the ball where i kinda swing it down hard and i guess that overloads my jump in the way that swinging your arms down hard does.

that's the thing, though: swinging the ball down hard is a boost but can't come close to a full-amplitude arm swing. if you practiced a bit (t0ddday technique, see my or scooby's journals for an explanation) i bet you'd be at 40".

nah nah adarq, if you keep getting into running i give even odds that you end up doing an ultra. maybe not a hundred, but an ultra. you don't seem to do things halfway very much...

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: glutes
ACHES/INJURIES: feet, lower back
MENTAL STATE: good

because i couldn't yesterday and the court was open. considering how sore my glutes were these were not terrible.

- reverse hyper x 15,15

- squat
low back not feeling it, no sense at all in pushing.

- BSS ISO x 60s/leg
getting easier

- advanced glute bridge ISO x 60s
also getting easier

- calf raise 385 x 20,20,20

anybody else notice that sometimes only upvoting is available? like, the downvote arrow just doesn't appear on the screen?

australians know who johnnie cochran is?

Yep, mainland Australia got TV in 1995 just in time for the trial. Before that we had to ride our kangaroos down to the local post office to get the news headlines via telegraph.

 :trollface:

hahahahahaha, fair enough. i just didn't think anyone outside the states cared about OJ simpson. shows my provincialism, i suppose.

i watched the white ford bronco chase live. came on during a basketball game. i was at my grandparents' house and remember being kind of pissed that the game was being interrupted but also being glued to the tv and vaguely understanding that something very important and strange was happening. that whole episode was bananas. espn did a good documentary about it a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l3qXxBaB_o.

seems to have gotten over his old gf pretty quickly. also, his triceps are awesome. i wonder if he had a fake dick on the front of his shorts or something.
