oh ya i know he wasn't close to 13'. fast does lie was saying you needed 15 inches above the rim, so i wanted to prove him wrong by saying that J clark wasn't close to 13' on that jump and made the dunk on 11'8.

ah ok.

ya you need 4" for a tip in dunk which people will debate is a dunk, 6" MINIMUM IMHO for a legit dunk, 8" ideal.. 12" = landing hard dunks.. 18+" = murdering the rim like a monster.

i see. yea, 4 inches over is probably a very iffy dunk lol. 18 inches is touching the top of the square. right now am probably a bit under 10'4 off 1 foot, and around 10'6 off two. will be sick to get 8 inches over the rim though off both though, will have my entire hand over the rim.

hmm, i'm actually pretty good off my right leg, almost equal to my left foot. probably from all the RL plants i'm guessing.

my left knee is actually starting to bug me now though. probably gonna play it safe and stick with LR now. hopefully can finally get an MRI and see what's exactly up with it.

can still jump higher off RL, but am sticking to LR. LR definitely easier on my left knee

yo, hello again. damn the summer whizzed by. yep, i'm still hopping around in my backyard sometimes, really just greasing the groove on 9 ft. guess i've been busy with other stuff hence no footage and just sticking around on 9 ft. but yea, seems there's not much to it i guess. gotta just keep jumping.

Gonna start going off 1 foot again. What do ATG squats do for 1 foot jumping though, if anyone knows? I just know that going off 1 foot is rly posterior chain dominant, so definitely gonna deadlift hard mainly.

Honestly don't think full squats will carry over much to SLRVJ. think bss or lunges and half squats carry over well to the slrvj because the joint angles are closer but you can still load up those movements a lot in a controlled way. I remember T0ddday saying that technique is much more important with the slrvj than strength levels. SLRVJ is a lot more on the velocity side of the FV curve than a dl jump so I think plyos like bounding, depth jumps, something for ankles and LOTS of SLRVJ's will build elastic strength, tendon stiffness and optimize stretch reflex lot more than doing strength work.

Sounds good. Yea, was guessing that the best plyo for the SLRVJ is the SLRVJ too lol

just got back home yesterday. went for some dunks on my 9 ft hoop and barely was able to land off the dribble lol. am wondering whats going on, i feel like im grounded or something lol. probably the 14 hour flight has to have something to do with it though, and also feeling a bit sick.

For discussion: easier to change plants or change hands?

"plant probably, but not easier to jump as high when changing your plant - I think actually doing it doesn't feel that bad though for most people, so initially they may go "I can do this!!" then months later you see they still can't get up in that plant

Changing hands is easier from the perspective of actually landing dunks, if the vert is the same.

If you look at it from the perspective of someone short with a low reach, who needs a serious vert to dunk, changing hands seems 1000x easier than changing plant, in my humble opinion.

peace!!"


damn i can relate with that so much. tried to switch from RL->LR completely twice. overall put in almost a year's time with the LR plant, but yes, i was never be able to get up with it. it also just feels weaker because my right leg is stronger than my left too.

but yea, off two feet, am going full RL for the rest of my dunking career. in terms of switching hands btw, do you think there is much incentive to go lefty?

hmm, i actually kinda like going up with my left hand off RL. basically just a mirrored LR right hand plant lol. definitely never gonna change plants ever again though now lol.
