Thanks. I'll be happy when that number is high enough for me to throw down. Forgot to mention the other day, when I was shooting around before getting into my warm up, I got a full knuckle on the rim for the first time. Kind of surprised myself, in a good way. I've been able to touch 120 before, but I mean barely, so I'd guess I hit around 121, which would mean a 31-32" running vert without really thinking about the jump. Seven more inches to go.

ya thats worth mentioning.. congrats on that too..

the "not thinking about it" aspect is interesting.. when I was jumping my highest, the last 3-4 months or so, I would wreck my running jumps if I wasn't going for a dunk.. they just didn't feel right, and I'd lose 2-3 inches..

then when i'd do the self lobs, wouldn't think about anything, just go up and get the ball and slam it.. thats why most of my best jumps came off self lobs where the ball bounced a bit too high.. its interesting that your body can give you more..

peace

I agree 100%.
Watching my dunk sessions videos i noticed that when trying to catch the ball in the air i jumped 2-3'' higher than my best rim jump, especially when the ball was a little higher than it should be, best recorded jumps are all missed dunks!
Personaly i have never achieved a lob dunk , i am talking about off the backboard dunks , more or less the same.

Dude the color scheme for the new domain name is wack, black on dark gray makes it hard to see stuff, and there's so much white on the page anyway because of the text entry box. Maybe it's just my screen or something.

I agree , previous scheme was sooo much better.
But then again , its your forum , you choose the schemes!
Maybe its a new cutting-edge eye-training shit? LOL

14 October

Basketball training. Very hard again , full of intervals , minimum tactics
Did 3 max effort running jumps between drills , got ~29-30''


15 October

SQUATS : build up to 5-rep-max
1x10@33
1x6@77
1x4@121
1x3@165
1x3@187
1x3@209
1x5@231 ( +11lbs )
Form at the max squat was fair , depth was at least parallel but i was "goodmorning-ing" rising.
I am doing all the warmup sets in perfect form so i am allowing a little form breakdown to make it a true max , because when i keep my form perfect its is never a true max attempt.
Any comments on this? Should i stick to perfect form with less load or is this max pushing better?
