Yes^^^

I like to put my foot on my leg extension machine "chair", I find that perfect for dumbbell BSSs.

I've always jumped better with a hip dominant technique.

They don't seem that high. 2nd one, maybe. But being consistent with them is hell.

Very reactive? Depends on how you put it. "Very reactive" off one leg, completely UN-reactive off two. If you would've put me to jump off a running two-leg vert back then I would've crumbled to the ground as soon as I would've planted off two feet. I just don't get it, could I have SUCH weak quads or maybe I distribute the tension differently depending on the plant?

For me, the two leg jump was always a matter of "go to the spot and do a SVJ" mentality.

Oh, and I NEVER jumped 35 off two, lol. Not even close. MAYBE 32 at the most.

Similar to Maldives, which is Heaven.

If you count a 12 inch vert as a starting point, for someone who hasn't done any sports in his life ever, yes. Otherwise, my baseline probably is 20-22 inch (SVJ, not that any momentum helps too much anyway), highest I got was ~28 inches or so.

Oh, and if I don't squat regularly ~100 kg feels like max, low bar. High bar probably ~80-90. So it's all a bunch of bullshit.

I actually did get to dunk just by practicing dunking (off one).

The strength training and stuff just stabilized my dunking (it was less dependent on the day, I could dunk consistently). That's pretty much it. In terms of height attained, didn't help almost at all. 7 years of non-stop training for nothing.

Strength training usually required me to gain weight, and whatever I gained strength-wise was negated by the added weight and by the fact that I started to use less and less speed in my jump, and more strength. This translated itself in the same height being attained in the jump.
