Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Loopie's Log
« on: February 14, 2011, 10:48:36 pm »
Just one tip that might or might not be helpful for you: when you go for a 2-hander off two feet, practice ''throwing'' the ball upwards (keep a hold of it) to give you some more momentum (a wide in football gave me that tip, could even use a Med. Ball heck).

So if i were you i would put that to the test on 9' rim and then increasing heights as your pattern gets better but i think it should help you get more power after you plant, especially since it looks fine to begin with.

OK i cut the bullshit, basically when summer starts, this has to be done, so by June 21st:

Feb. 24 : 77lbs x 5 x 4 Lunges.
                    6 Pull-ups
                    90 degree hanging leg raises x 4

Athletic Goal: Consistent Dunking: 1-leg, Two Hands Tomahawk (Now: Basic two-hander).

Feb. 24 - Meh.

Skill Goals: Crazy Ball Handling (Now: Very good).

Feb. 24 - Meh.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: macdonald's burgers don't age (even after 127 days)

This is actually big time misinformation. I don't get all that McDonalds bashing. I challenge anybody to actually buy a Quarter Pounder and leave it on your shelf for a couple of weeks. What has to happen will happen.

Alright man. My site is a private training forum with under 50 members, technically its not mine but i admin it so... I did not show the url because it would be meaningless for most people. (Like you, who already owns a nice forum and lots of experience training-wise) We`re keeping journals, making articles and stuff for basketball-athletic development, since we`re still all in ``booming`` careers in our sports.

I`m just so much of training buff. I learn so much over the past year its scary. I`ll update you on my experiments!

Thanks

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Jumping Technique/ Form (penultimate step)
« on: February 23, 2010, 09:15:45 pm »
Seriously, from experience, i know that the 2 foot jump is kinda tricky because if you try and make too much of a loofy step you loose the correct ``grip`` given to you by the reactive forces. The idea is to perform 3-5 fast (then relax) counter-movement jumps and then do running jumps x N. Your run-up has got to be as fast as possible. The first few weeks you will be clumsy, but after a while your take-off will become easy and efficient and you even will be able to add some effect to it by pushing off the balls of your feet at the last moment. (Took me a while to get it right, but once i was on track, within 2 weeks of practicing 4x week, i was jumping effortlessly everytime.

As for the 1 leg vertical it pretty much is the same, we saw vince carter and other ``strength jumpers`` plant their leg way in front, but really what you need to practice is a fast run-up and lock of the jumping leg, let it fly. Again, thrive to go as fast as possible to really sink the correct technique, believe me, it is the only way.

BTW i`m new to the site but i gotta admit, you`re doing a heckuva job, just say ur 1-leg jump series, absolutely the most complete on the internet!


That seems great!, i like the rotation. And you`re right i didn`t mean to AREG Basketball Skills although i`m working on something like that on my website (Distance shooting progression) but more of a different point of view and yours is great. The general idea for combining this type of ``speed`` training and sport specific would be to Alternate between the two until the ``speed`` works achieves DO.

I`m not giving up on that, it needs some refining. But i will update you on my results with it! (If you care of course!  :D )

Thks,

Basketball / Waveloading mixing RFIs and AREG with Basketball skill work
« on: February 22, 2010, 08:58:07 pm »
Does anybody have an idea how some1 could implement a waveloading basketball skills and speed work together? I know it`s a broad question, it`s meant that way.

Thanks
