Lol!

what was funny about what he said?

I thought it was funny that he said I think too much. I've been told that before. I just thought lumberjack squats would be a lot safer, if that work the same muscle, and if they're better suited for taller people. That way I won't need a spotter.

I have lowered my squat weight to work on my form. I start at like 50lbs and do butt to the ground squats. I just do heavy after I'm done to see if it'll get lighter and 170lbs actually did. I did a half squat and it felt a lot lighter. Don't be hard on me, I'm just experimenting and I do them as safe as possible. But longer limbs do cause a problem. I'm stronger than my step daughter and she's like 5'4" she can barely lift a 15lbs barbell 10x, and I can do it like 30x, but when we do bench press she can get 80lbs  to the chest and almost back up, and I can't get it but half way down. Once I get past half I need help, but I can lift half a few times, these long arms and legs does seem to put me at a disadvantage when it comes to lifting, but what do I know. Sorry I ask so many questions and I do think a lot!!

Read this article today, would changing the type of squats I do be more effective. More interested in the lumberjack squats.

"The problem is that not every athlete, particularly those taller folks, are particularly well suited to back squatting. Some athletes are going to be much more suited to doing deadlifts, front squats, box squats, or lumberjack squats due to their size, flexibility limitations etc.

In these instances the 2x standard may not apply directly, but the message is the same. Get as strong as possible as you can on your prime mover big lifts and you will see great gains in your vertical jump."

Adarq, I notice that you use to squat outside by yourself. Did you ever have any accidents?

If yu don't mind me asking, how many years have you been working on increasing your vertical and how much have you gained since then?

I didn't need help with ball handling but with protecting the ball. I know how to teach myself ball handling moves.
