Wild... just not into it anymore eh?  Moving on to.... something eh?

Genuinely interested for the next episode, whatever it might be.

Haven't seen any YT vids from you in a while so was curious what was up.

Probably started making a killing with your fiver career... chewing people out fr five bucks a pop, or maybe booked with dates from your christian mingle profile or whatever lol...

Word...

Bands increase the eccentric velocity and thus require the trainee to stabilize and produce more reversal power.  

Bands used as accommodating resistance allow the strength curve to follow closer to the actual strength curve of the lifter... lighter resistance at the bottom of the lift, and gradually increasing to accommodate the strength curve.

Dead weight alone, due to inertia, gets lighter as it ascends allowing muscles to exert less force through the range of motion.

Bands also reduce the decelerating affect that dead weight has.  If you squat fast you have to slow down or the weight flies off your shoulders.  With bands the increased resistance at the top of the lift allows you to accelerate better even to the end of the lift.

@Avishek I'd be interested to see your results of over-speed training with the bands to produce faster contraction speeds.

In the end any resistance training stimulus wills slow the actual movement, but may increase the neural signals which will result in increased ability for explosive movements.

I bought the power jumper and was very excited about it, but just didn't get into it.... but I'm told it takes a while to get the feel for it.

I like heavy bands for squats, squat jumps, and lots of other lifts.  

IMO in the resistance training world, bands provide a superior stimulus.

[correction, by "bands" I mean bands accommodating dead weight as the strength curve would be too steep with bands alone]

I read your stuff on ltmps but need to read it with greater detail... interesting stuff.

I think single leg work might be a way to get that high frequency work in as well...

But it seems that (based on your sig about rat adrenals)... that the idea is to get a greater adrenaline response...

Is this the main purpose or is it more to provide low impact muscle stimulation to as many MU as possible and ovoid any OTraining...?

I have the article instapapered to read it more thoroughly ... but you'd still need to initiate that adrenal response before you were able to benefit from it in routine training right?

Here's a dunk video from a bit back...

This is just a funny vid but kind of cool.

You do realize that if you didnt arch your back so much and look up while you were in the air, you'd be less than an inch away from the rim?

Might have been a bit closer... although I want to hit it on the rim... it gets a bit unnerving when you get close it it... you kind of "wince" a bit.

I need to do a lob dunk and get the same height... that rim will snap off if I hang so the dunks on it aren't as cool...  I don't like to dunk without a bit of rim bangin.  But if I break this one they will be ticked at me... this is the only place they really play from the area.

Oops... I'm only a 3 star member... I'm gettin it.

The below guy actually has some really good jumps... he's a super nice kid, so be nice please.

Fast forward to get through his long testimonial and into the dunks.

IF he could jump the same with the ball he'd do some sick dunks, and he's made awesome progress.

Daniel Back has a sweet dunk mix of himself... I like this guy.
