I wonder what's Kelly's point of view on the matter. After all, he's the one who kind of trains people for increasing the SVJ, since that will mean also an increase in the RVJ. For him personally, I think he went from ~20 inches to 35+ just by pretty much increasing his strength.

As for me, I think, just as for everybody else, the SVJ increases as the squat increases. Probably just as simple as that. But I'm a better SVJ jumper than the regular Joe, it kind of comes naturally to me.

I think my SVJ stayed for a while at ~20 inches before starting to squat etc and now it's 30 inches with a lower than 2x squat. You can't say I won't ever be able to get ~35 or so if my squat would improve to 2x+, so that's a bunch of bullshit.

You and the smallest black guy have some very thin shins.

It's silly, but if you look, after my first jump I land with the right leg a bit forward as in a LR plant... I kind of do that naturally, not sure if it's automatically to protect my right knee or if it just comes because I naturally plant LR.

They sure are better than THIS:

Two legs bounds from today:

Sometimes I land deep (as in a full squat) and that seriously hurts my knees... I feel like the whole tension is being taken by the articulations (knee ligaments etc) instead of being amortizated by the quads. Should the glutes/other muscles get involved in the amortization of these bounds off two feet? Because I don't think so, pretty much the quads (that as you can see, don't do a particularly great job of amortizating).

This was by far my best set (the only one I filmed by the way) - so you can imagine how the others sucked hard.

Hah, nice thread, I keep on reading.

Yes but that LeBron thing was filmed from the floor (cameraman lying on the floor) while this was filmed from a trepied (from what I can tell) put on a chair or something. Roughly the same angle though.

I remember when I filmed Nightfly from ground level vs. from rim level. Incredible difference, it looked like a 8-10 inch difference or so. From the floor he looked heat at/over rim and from rim level he was ~6 inches under the rim.

Nah, LeBron just isn't a creative dunker (see Cannon Brown in the dunk contest). So it works only if you like power dunks/very high dunks (I like them by the way).

Nah that's probably close level to the rim... so ~40.

no!





Look at the original angle (0:03). Does that seem head over rim to you?

I think Werm looked head over rim at a few dunks. Angle, but still...

No single leg (LLLL and RRRR) bounding?

And you have hurdles at that field?
