ME jumps/dunks session

9'10'' rim , concrete

Bodyweight@session : ~196 , nice
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none
Stim : 3 teaspoons coffee + 1 redbull

- 10mins dynamic warmup

- bunch of low mid effort jumps

- SVJ : ~6'' above rim, ~29''. PR tie
- Dropstep : ~9'' above rim , ~32'' ( 0.5'' below PR )
- 1/2 steps DLRVJ : 11'' to 12'' above rim , ~34''-35''. Not sure , maybe  :personal-record: , see pic below.
- 30 dunk attempts, sth like 7x4-5:
Some hard dunks there , definitely best 9'10'' dunk session ever.

Here is the best jump of the session:



3'' below wrist = 11'' above rim = 34''
4'' below wrist = 12'' above rim = 35''

Don't know what to claim , let's call it a 34,5'' PR tie? :D

Since you've started going with the left hand up you extend better. I'd still love to see more rotation/hip extension into the jump though.

Thanks man! The pic above is the highest point of that first jump.

Since you've started going with the left hand up you extend better. I'd still love to see more rotation/hip extension into the jump though.

I started using left 1 year ago , rotation is more natural and extension better , but it felt like shit. Now i feel better with left , although i'm right handed. Today i missed all dunks with right and the left ones were more powerful too!
I experimented a bit with rotation , it's improving but not good enough to be in the video yet. Patience... ;)

25 April 2011

ME jumps session

Jumping on concrete , various rims ( 9'8'' , 9'10'' , 10', 10'2'' )

Bodyweight@session : just below 196@10pm, nice
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none
Stim : none

- 10mins dynamic warmup

- bunch of low/mid effort jumps

- 2x3 SVJs : mostly ~28'' , couple of 29''s ,  PR tie again.
- 2x3 Dropsteps : all ~32''
- 1x4 1 step DLRVJs : average 32'' , max 32,5''
- 1x4 2 steps DLRVJs : average 32'' , max 32,5''
- 2x4 3 steps DLRVJs : average 32'' , max 32,5''
- 1x4 SLRVJs : ~25'' , LOL

Comments:
-Pushed as much as i could to get 30'' SVJ and 33'' dropstep PRs but failed both. Pretty close though , 29/32 was easy.
-Many of the 32,5'' touches were probably ~33'' jumps, i felt i was hitting the rim after the jump peak.
-After a long time i felt better doing 3-step jumps than 1&2. Dropsteps still feeling more powerful though.
-Hit 32'' dropstep on 9'8'' , 3'' below wrist touch. This felt soooo awesome , gotta get 36'' dropstep!!!
