btw fuck all you hos with your "only in-game dunks are worthwhile" shit. if i ever dunk, it will be in perfect conditions with myself or someone else lobbing the ball and no one else on the court. that will be good enough for me.

LOL.  And once you do that.... You will salivate at the idea of doing it in different conditions and start playing pickup basketball and following every single missed shot with a run-up and rim hang, hoping to get the right moment.  Then once you get one of those you will start cherrypicking hoping to get a breakaway dunk...  You will keep improving and wanting more cause thats the mindset of an athlete and that's what got you here in the first place. 

Don't you already have a 36 inch vertical jump?  If so can't you already throw down the perfect lob?  IMO it would be more impressive to see you touch 10'5 or 10'9 or whatever is sorta equivalent to that feat.

oh for sure, but i'm saying that for now, i'll be happy to just dunk a ball off a lob. that will equal mission accomplished, and that's my point. my mission, with all the deviations and false starts and whatnot i've had over the past few years, has been to dunk. dunking means pushing a ball down through the hoop from above the hoop. anything beyond that is gravy.

my DLRVJ right now is garbage because of months of insufficient practice because of lack of court access. i'm starting to fix that, belatedly. all-time PR was about 35", enough to dunk a dodgeball but not enough to put a basketball in off a lob.

good enough for me.

Cool, that's what's important. To me, that kind of dunk has no meaning.

then why do you post video after video after video of dunk contests?

just watched that 10' video again. your knees collapse a lot on the eccentric portion. just an observation.

right knee feels wonky this morning, going to postpone weights until tomorrow.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: spinal erectors after broad jumps
MENTAL STATE: okay, not great but not sluggish

- warm up

- broad jump x 4
back to earth but still better than when i started doing these. about 12y/11m.

- DL bound x 4,4,4
same, back to earth but all still at or just past the broad jump mark.

- sprint 30m x 4
no times. avishek you gotta show me how you use your iphone to time sprints. i couldn't get it to stop right. not sure where my stopwatch is.

- fly 30m x 3
focused on good leg lift, consequently really felt the drive into the ground. these were fatiguing, especially the last one. high impact.

- SLRVJ and DLRVJ x a bunch
got some on film. pretty bad, especially the SLRVJ. had a couple of okay DLRVJ but i know these are just slow and uncoordinated. and the knee collapse on SLRVJ is fugly.

- stair sprint x a few
was going to keep doing these but the area around the hoop cleared out and jumping is more important.

- stretch

yesterday (7/27)

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: sharp as fuck, CNS firing

- warm up

- broad jump x 4
PR, got well over 11m

- DL bound x 4,4,4
first set clear PR, close to 12m. second and third sets not as far but still good

- sprint 30m x 1
no time but felt so quick, such a huge contrast to the last time i sprinted.

started pouring rain out of nowhere, had to stop, so very pissed. it rained for hours.

today (7/28)

WEIGHT: 173.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: head
MENTAL STATE: super sharp in the morning, ready, but by the time i could get to the gym headache and lower CNS

- warm up

- submax SLRVJ and max DLRVJ x a bunch
DLRVJs were bad. i think the rim was a little high (seemed busted in the upward direction) but assuming it was 10' the jumps were all 30-31. if it was off by a bit they could have been a little higher.

- jump squat 45 x 3,3,3

- squat 275 x 3,3,3
head was killing at this point and this felt very heavy. will be lighter next time.

- superset x 2
-- OHP 120 x 5,5
-- pull up x 8,8
second set of OHP strongest i've ever felt with 120. weird.

- windmills x 10,10

will do mobility and stretching tonight. this was a very good workout despite the headache and relatively poor performance. not sure i could say why.
