Hey sickening, I'm the boss of an NBA team and you're my hired trainer.

And I'm not happy with my white and weak (1x squat) white rookie I just drafted and I want to get him quicker (note - I haven't said stronger). I want him to run a bit faster. Faster than retired center Greg Ostertag. He beats my guy in a 30m footrace.

Here's Greg:



Greg's a bit old now at 40+, but still, he kicks my guy's ass.

So how are you going about into making my rookie player faster? What are you going to do? The deadline is one year.

Is being able to dunk the final stage in athletic development?

Kenny George was such a great athlete. He could dunk without jumping!

Haha, I know, what I love with BSS is that I can overload the legs without necessarily overloading my back. I can also play with stance length to get different recruitment levels.

Think about it - doing BSS with 40 kg dumbbells (80 kg in total) is like doing bilateral squats with 160 kg in terms of leg stimulation. Now I realize it's more to that than just weight but still, it's just a great thing to do.

The back leg side still contributes significantly in the BSS AFAIK.

Might want to check out the EMG study mentioned here though:

Yeah it does, just by putting your leg out there you're taking out some of the weight off the working leg.

What happens if you jump off one leg? I mean, trying to dunk? You should film some attempts.

RTFL ( Read The Fucking Log )!!! 

SLRVJs : max 28'' , repeatable

You should film them. What happens if you jump up with a ball you can palm (volleyball or basketball, whatever).

Why don't you keep a log anymore?

Know that kid since he's partially Dutch.
One of the biggest european prospects right now, not really known as a highflyer though.
Google his stat lines from his u20 games, they're off the charts.

Off the side of the backboard over a car? Pretty nice.

Saw him in Romania at the EDC (European Dunk Contest)... pretty nice, seemed kind of arrogant and all that but whatever.
