Do you have any advice on how to improve my overhead squat (other than actually overhead squatting)?
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.
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.
