and the most insane part is he does that off 1 foot.. really monster strenght

for some reason i belive the top of the vertec is 12"6 not just 12.. think i read a article about amare stoudemire clearing the whole thing and they said the top was 12"6.. not sure tho

when i think about it, yall are right, cant tell someone to fix their technique.. i have 2 friends that cant dunk, they are close tho, and they sometimes ask me like "what do you think where can i improve my technique, where can i find those extra few inches"
and when ever i gave some tips like "make that penultimate step longer" it would just mess up their jumps completely..

so yea cant go against this statament "I agree with Merrick that you jump the way your body's strengths allow you to"


there is this one thing i noticed tho, those friends a mine, their 2 foot jumps are so messed up, their knees go over their toes so much its just insane, and they played soccer their whole lifes-and not just them, every soccer player i know of has just a terrible 2 foot jumps, just collapse forward in knees.. so i wanted to say, soccer players for example, run on their toes most of the time, quickly changing directions and trying to catch up or run away/ around their opponents, with the tension beeing on their knees- so with them beeing used to all the tension on the knees, when they try to jump off 2 feet they collapse forward.. so i belive that it makes a big role what your athletic history was in how will your jumping tecnique look like..

excuse my english btw, hope you will understand what i was trying to say haha

if they land 360 double btl on 10.. just.. unthinkable

yep, im so messed with that sleep part too, i need 9 hrs for optimal rest and recovery, i remeber when i was going to bed around 11 pm and gettin up around 8 am, it was just insane amount of recovery haha, these last times tho i dont even get 8 hrs most of the time, and the sleep i get is not a "good night sleep" more like a bad morning sleep haha, need to fix that asap..

all that lifting and plyos and stuff dont count if you dont actually try to dunk, thats like by far the most important part

i actually had shin splints this winter in my right leg from LR plant jumps hahah, its weird, but it passed away since weather got warmer this spring,

but anyway im sure if you plant LR much more stress is on left leg, same on RL and right leg
