Thanks man , i will go for 286 next session ( monday ) , that would be ~1,5xBW Cheesy
Last year's PR was 110lbs , that's 150% increase so far, with all modesty it is damn impressive!

It is damn impressive! Good job man.

ah... didnt notice vag had vids up haha.

oooh, so its alright to do them with the smith machine?
i tried BSS early in my training days, but i couldnt really balance properly when the weight was relatively heavy for me, so i stopped doing them, replacing them with squats.

Thanks guys.
Last year's PR was 110 on smith machine.
This year i started with 18lbs dumbells , lol , so this year was 36--->275
I think that my improvement in BSS also had to do with glutes-oriented squatting that i focused this year, ive tried to do everything mentioned in this kellyb article :

http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/noglutes.html

In there it links to those 2 great vids:

About the front foot you asked earlier, its flat , no weight under it either , flat on the floor.
Smith machine helps exactly this balance part. Its pretty difficult to balance on 1 foot with a bar on your back , especially as it starts getting heavy. In the beginning you can try dumbells , balance is good with them. I stopped using dumbells when i started having grip problems , ~58lbs in each hand if i remember well...

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Ok , then my back foot is something very similar to that:


But i'd suggest that you place it however feels more comfortable, what matters is that it is elevated and you don't think about it at all , focus on your lift.
Hope that helps.

it's maybe the only unilateral lift (or lift in general) that i'd use a smith machine with.. but i prefer barbell on unilaterals, so i always advise barbell walking lunge, barbell stepup, or barbell reverse lunge.. preferably barbell walking lunge.

10 July 2010

-7 Days Vertical Jump Cure routine.
-My usual lower body stretch routine.

==========================================

11 July 2010

Vertical jump testing/dunks session
Weight@session : ~194
Stim : Jacked up with caffeine , ~250mg + 1 redbull


JUMPS on 9'10'' :
-1x3 SVJs : ~28'
-1x2 dropstep DLRVJs : ~31''
-1x2 1-step DLRVJs : ~32''
-1x2 full runup DLRVJs : ~33''


JUMPS on 10':
1xdropstep : ~31''
1x2-steps DLRVJs : ~32,5''
1x2 full runup DLRVJs : ~33+''

So far , so good , RVJs at 10' rim were better, last time they were average 32,5'' and getting some 33'' ,  this time it was 33'' minimum , some were probably 33,5''

Dunk attempts on 10':
~4x4 : 0/16
Fail 1 : I thought it would be cool at 6pm but it was 34'C ( 93.2 F ) in the shadow , and i was jumping in the sun!
Fail 2 : Couldnt palm the damn ball! WTF, i bought it this Friday , i could do easily windmill motion palming it when i was trying it!  >:(
Ball was pretty popped though so i got some nice off the backboard misses , also tried some lobs but couldnt get them right! Oh well...

Dunk attempts on 9'8'':
Tried 4 reverse-2haners , landed 3 off them nice, all off 2 steps.
Also landed one really hard cuffed 1-hander.

Dunk attempts on 9'10'':
-0/2 1-hand dunks , couldnt palm the ball again.
-1 hard 2-hander off 2 steps , hardest 2-hander i ever threw down at that height.

Total : ~40 max effort jumps in the sun , didnt feel tired , performance didnt drop either but i decided to terminate session to avoid overdraining.
Not bad at all , 1 month ago id go crazy with this session but all my focus is landing 10' dunk now so im not happy with that session!

I verified how much jacked i was from caffeine yesterday:
Im using this as a reference test:
http://getyourwebsitehere.com/jswb/rttest01.html

I was geting 180 to 220 ms , best average ( 5 tries ) was 206.
Just tried it again after drinking a double espresso too , and i cant get average below 230.
Damn , what a waste , should have known better, never again a session in the sun...
