Adarqui AND LANCE answering on the same site? EPIC!!!!111 w00t All love for y'all ! I owe dunking to Raptor, but the latest improvements came after listening to you two. It's really great that you(Lance) have your own performance section, props!

appreciate the support mang!

Adarq.org on National TV! Remember that?

? What doesn't have to work as harder? The lateralis?

Would it make sense to you if I were to squat 2 times per week and one time go with full squats and the other go with heavier partials for more specificity, like half squats or 1/4 squats?

Well I think there are two important reasons why one should squat for a higher VJ:

1) To build muscle that will generate tension for greater power. To do this, the best way is probably a deep squat and coupling phase time, specificity and things like these aren't that important.

2) To overload a muscle with "some weight" in a specific manner to the jump itself with a smaller ROM, more attention being paid at the coupling time and joint angles.

Now, I don't know if 2) is needed. It's probably needed just because the plyos damage the body so much if they are done endlessly, so then the 2) part is probably a good compromise. Otherwise, plyos are the way to go in my opinion.

So this is some kind of minus-7 level training - how not to get stimulated "oh shit, if I jump high I'll hit my head. OK, I'll jump lower!".

Apparently, Andrew is not a cop. Shocking, I know.
