resistance bands are awesome for that, too. i do a set of shoulder dislocations and my neck is twice as loose after.

« on: January 09, 2014, 08:56:01 am »What are you trying to do with squats right now? Not going heavy and just working on explosive squats?
in a nutshell, yeah. i spent too long being distracted by trying to squat heavy. i got a 2x bw squat, whoop-de-do, but now i'm relegating myself to explosive squats (if the bar isn't popping off my shoulders at the top of the concentric, it's not fast enough) and focusing more on supplementary work for my p-chain. hence all the assisted GHRs, RDLs, and cable pull-throughs/hip thrusts.
i love squatting too much to abandon it altogether.

a 36" leap for me corresponds to me getting all but an inch of my palm over the rim. sing again the sad song of the average of height.

yeah i need to get some of these PR-level jumps on camera. and some miniball dunks. will try to do by the end of the week.
also, on saturday i'm going back to tajikistan for ~2 weeks. not looking forward to it, not least because training is going really well right now and the interruption will suck. i'm going to use the time there to work on drop steps, SVJ and short approaches, for some conditioning and to brush up on jump rope skills, and bodybuilding-style stuff.

Anyway, it seems your strength is carrying over to your jumping more and more. Sounds like improvements in movement efficiency to me.
you mean you've never seen a picture of me before?
also, yes, definitely major improvements in movement efficiency.

WEIGHT: 178
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: tired but great
- warm up
- SVJ x a few
PR, first-ever rim touch off SVJ.

PR tie off four, ~36, near base of palm. holding the ball was fucking me up, though, could not get a dunk with miniball. damn it.
- SLRVJ x a few
meh, a few rim touches and a few screwy jumps.
YEEEEEEEEEHAW.

...or maybe your right hamstring would get bigger and stronger.
fwiw, i used to be a complete mess SL jumping off my left foot. as bad as i was off right, i could not even do a coordinated layup off left. now, some hundreds (not even 1000s) of layups later, i can touch rim off both feet although my peak off right is still probably a bit higher. i have no doubt that my (or entropy's, or anyone's) RL plant would improve with lots of submax work.
