i periodically drink salt water to help deal with a hangover. it's not so bad, just don't overdo the amount of salt you put in.

it's all academic, as far as i'm concerned. i'm not going to consciously try to change my plant now, i'm too close to my goal to be fiddling with fundamental stuff like that. if it happens on its own, it happens.

Some related stuff about those last couple inches and how much above you need to be : http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/lastlittlebit.html

I am sure i have posted it again and you have read it too back then but oh, well!  ;D

thanks vag, i'd read that before but not in a long time. i've been breaking down my approach, as you know, and it's helped a lot. this gives another way to do that, which i'll try next time i'm jumping. i'm obviously a hop jumper.

@chris, i'm sure you're right! at the moment, though, "dunking" at all will feel like the apex of my life.

i need to start bringing my own ball to the gym, the balls they have there suck mightily and don't bounce high enough. need a super-inflated ball like adarq used to use. or someone to throw me lobs, but that's unlikely.

a "dunk" would basically be the most exciting thing i've ever done, let alone a dunk. perfect lob, perfect timing, rattle it in off the back iron? mission accomplished. i guess i've got the height now according to y'all. but a dunk would obviously be better and i'm still 1.5-2 inches shy.

^^^so i hope. on that note, i took a pic of my hand so you can see the progression of my "normal" jump, i.e., the height i can get on an average day. the callouses, from where i grab the rim, tell the story. mid-palm is not a callous yet, just a little scrape in the middle there.
