Ok. I'm good with short approaches i need to transition to longer run-ups... I'm also running very slow into my jump, not only at lj but also in dunking. My 2 legged approaches are basically svj with one small drop step :(

Sorry but "logical logic" calls for you to actually start to do longer approach 2 footed dunks and try to increase speed on them gradually if that's the aim.

I think one way other than doing this ^^^ is to go with hurdle hops, say 3 hurdles, starting with a small hurdle and finishing with a tall hurdle.

What would you say is the difference in terms of pure training effect in doing very high single respons jumps like the video I posted and doing say shorter hurdles but multiple jumps?

If you consider yourself a beast, then it's not.

Yeah if you think about it, if you're doing your reps explosively then you're still recruiting the fast twitch fibers, even though the weight is lighter than the traditional say 5RM, and when your acceleration becomes worse that's a sign that they got tired so the other, slower fibers (motor neurons) get activated to suplinate, which is just a sign for you to stop.

They've been kinda busy lately, but in a video of theirs they said they found "a new gem". Maybe it's him they're talking about? It's gotta be.

Blessing in disguise, eh?

Remember me to pretend I have a SI injury next time I squat. Oh wait, I actually do! I had one a few months ago were it would take me around 5 minutes to get out of bed. Not really, but around 1 minute in "literal" time. And even so, a few lightning bolts would've still strike my back, all coming from the left SI. I could not bend forward (as in a hamstring stretch) lower than the knee without feeling pain in my upper portion of my left buttock.

Self diagnosis told "piriformis syndrome". It eventually passed away but very hard. The reason for the injury was calf raises on a Smith Machine (barbell), because I needed to put something exactly underneath the bar to increase the calf raise ROM and if it wasn't perfectly aligned, you'd do them with a bent back. Even a little would make a big difference. And to re-rack the ... "bar", you'd need to bend and twist at the waist.

Never doing that again.

what would "way before failure" be?

It would be at the first sign of decreasing speed of the current rep vs the previous.

So if I do 5 "piston" reps and on the 6th my speed slows down (but it's not a grinder) I stop. This means I'm going to do sets of 6 (in this scenario) with a weight I can probably do around 8-10 reps if I grind it out.

Yeah weak joke on my part.

Just make sure you eat that beef or whatever you eat that made you who you are.
