Yes, I guess pistols. But it seems like people only refer to pistols when you do them on the ground and use your flexibility to get the off leg out of the way. I don't see the point in that, so I just stand up on a box. Yea, will definitely watch it when doing any unilateral movements. Also, does anyone know the best way to load weights for pistols? I wish i could just let them hang side by side with my arms, but the box gets in the way when I go down.

Have been doing weighted ATG single leg squats and have been emphasizing the hips, been pretty much letting my hips shoot up and then finishing with locking out the knee. What i've found is that it works my glutes and specifically my VMO muscle really hard.

Yea thats true, and probably what i'm gonna aim for. i actually still want to primarily be primarily a two foot jumper though, but i still wanna be able to get up off one foot without pain. i think jordan kilganon might be a good example of what im trying to be? of course hes super crazy off two feet, and still crazy off one, and he claims he barely practices it. the dunk off one foot that he did recently "the win" is still up there with his two foot dunks. also dont think he suffers from any knee pain.

I've also had no problem doing single leg "pistol" squats too. i just stand up on a box and go ALL the way down. anyone think this may be too hard on the knees though? i'm already making sure i drive my hips into it rather than trying to use too much knee.

my tendon seems fine now, i just think that i just have a lot of scar tissue thats left there at the tendon. anyway, now i've only been jumping off my LR plant, sparingly jumping off my leg. gonna keep working on my posterior chain, but want to work on my quads again. quad power has been such a double edged sword for me, i was such a good two foot jumper before, and i was able to get the rim with both hands off a standing vertical. not sure how to stay a strong two foot jumper while still being able to jump well off one foot without knee pain.

sounds good. gonna try to minimize too much knee bend and knee tracking too.

been doing some jumping from my LR plant and off my left leg, and its fine on my quad tendon. starting to feel some tingles in my patellar tendon though, so i'll keep a lookout for that. anyone have any advice? just been stretching and foam rolling my quads hard. i dont foam roll the VMO though, only the vastus intermedius, rectus femoris, and vastus lateralis. also working hard on the glute and hamstring strength with deadlifts.

yea definitely. they both dont lift weights at all, while i'm pretty quad dominant. before when i jumped off one, i was so quad dominant that i was relying on the power from my quads to actually propel me up, whereas the quads should only be there to really stabilize the plant and prevent tracking of the knee/patella. my shin angle was probably at around 80 degrees from my foot when i jumped, whereas i see a lot of one foot jumpers keep nearly a perpendicular shin. but anyway, i guess i should be thankful since its only my left leg and quadricep tendon. would suck so bad if it were both the patellar and quadricep tendon or if i had it on both knees lol

i have two friends that say theyve gotten patellar tendonitis(tendon below the knee) before. theyre both one foot jumpers too. my one foot jump was quad dominant which caused my quadricep tendonitis, but how come my patellar tendon is completely fine?

hmm so my standing reach is 7'9 so I'm gonna need 35 inches to put my hand over the rim. I feel like the easiest way to dunk is lobbing the ball so I'm gonna start practicing hard on lower rims for it first

was thinking about bulgarian split squats with dumbbells. problem is that im not sure about the position of the foot im working on. not sure how much the knee should travel forward or how far out my foot needs to be.

hmm, no pain when i drop into a full bodyweight squat. will probably be hitting deadlifts soon to see whether they still hurt or not
