Yeah I just remember how much different of a feeling is after I play 5 on 5 basketball, which I do very rarely. It just feels like the entire leg is fatigued. No muscle groups separation in terms of fatigue or anything. Just the entire leg. It just feels... weird. Probably because of lactic acid or something, and more blood flow. I just feel more elastic when I'm in the middle of a 5 on 5, albeit fatigued enough not to jump well.

What's your max deadlift Andrew? I mean, what was it the last time you tested it?

very nice progress markus, form looked good.

how much weight loss he down to now?

pC

last time he weighed himself he was "only" -11kg. but the tape measure says that he lost more fat than that, so he seems to be building some muscle :strong:

It's weird that he trusts staying in the same room with you. Now that's bravery!

The only right handed guy I know that's jumping from his right leg when dunking is JR Smith...

Oh boy he was really lucky on these! :o ;D

Yeah I'll try it, see what happens. Should be better for my structure for sure. It's for a deadlift what a wide stance squat is for a ... squat :uhhhfacepalm:

i imagine you've gotten:
1. less fit
2. fatter
3. overly strength trained
4. more emo

And you imagine right. The CoolColJ path baby!

Nah, I really need to work on sprints and suicide-like drills/change direction stuff and get lighter. That should be the priority right now and I'm slowly transitioning into that type of work.

Yeah it was visual. He could get about 2 inches over the rim, and then on the 2nd jump, he got almost the whole palm over the rim (definitely over the half of the palm).

28 inches standing vert is nooooot bad at all. Heck, I'm at 28 myself.

Pushing and sprint stance are pretty indicative you "should" plant RL...

Yes it does. I want you to pay attention to your defensive stance, to how you set yourself feet wise to push a heavy object (a car for example), off what leg do you depth drop, with what leg you kick etc. These are all good indicators of what is the "control" or "rotation" leg.

For example, when I defend in the defensive stance, I am positioned in a LR stance so my right arm is forward so I can jump for a block with my right arm forward. When I'm to push a car, I put my left foot forward so I can drive on it, so basically that's also a LR stance. When I depth drop, I drop off the box from the right leg. When I kick, I use my right leg to kick so the left leg is used as a rotation leg (same as in a LR plant).

Like I said, these are good indicators of what your body automatically prefers.

By the way, any idea why you don't naturally use a one-leg jump? Lack of practice or other reasons? I mean, at your weight a one-leg jump would be pretty "natural" (if you consider only weight and structure as factors). But then again, Justin Darlington is light as heck and he jump off two.

There are a handful of LR dunks that if you do right, they look cool. Take a look at Myree Bowden or AUT for examples. Heck, even Kobe.

I agree with what you say... I naturally plant LR, do depth jumps LR etc, but I like to jump RL. It feels "nicer". I have a weaker right leg though. Or, I think so.
