One of the greatest things I have ever read, your mentality is fantastic.. Anybody ever told you that you are kinda crazy? I love that

My goal is to be able to dunk 2 handed off a 100% standstill. Just measured my reach at 93" (7'9") in the middle of this post. Rim is 120" but lets say I have a 94" reach in shoes.

I need 26" to touch rim. 32" to dunk with one hand, or probably a 34" standing vert without the ball. My two hand reach is about 3-4" lower than my one hand reach. That means I need a 38" standing vert to dunk 2 handed from a standstill.

Well, currently my standing vert is about 30" but my running is 38" so that's a big difference. When I dunk 2 handed off a standstill, my running vert should be 46"

I'M WITH YOU ADARQUI.

It doesn't make sense for you to only have a 30 inch standing vert. I have a 28 and I'm squatting ~140-145 kg at the most.

this is the current adarq.org motto, the idea is simple:

transform the s&c industry and athletes everywhere through legit transformations, for example, {below average/average/good}-natural ability to ELITE-LEVEL-ABILITY.

Yeah what the hell... I was surprised. I need to re-test on a Wednesday or Friday (when I jump highest usually). I should be able to hang on the rim from a standstill, giving me like a 32" standing.

really appreciate it man, glad it had an impact

Anybody ever told you that you are kinda crazy? I love that

thing is, the "stronger i get", the "more powerful i get", it results in a better ability to express myself.. i don't even feel like the same person compared to years ago, i'm so vicious now.. so ya perhaps that can be interpreted as crazy, but, i honestly think as I improve my power/speed/strength, I just am becoming more "animalistic" or "true human".. inhibition disappears from not only my "golgi tendon organs/cns" lmao, but also my ability to express myself... as I jump higher, I just feel more aggressive anywhere in life, not to be misunderstood as "being an asshole" or "thinking i'm tough", but it's just more of a confidence/dominant feeling, it's hard to explain..

i can't even imagine how "free" i will be with 47" RVJ-level power, it'll be kind of disgusting.

;d

ya just practice SVJ's more, it's definitely a skill that takes tons of practice.. i have no doubt with your 'squat style' and athletic ability that you would definitely be able to decrease the gap between running/standing vert.

nice, your hard work (as well as many others on this site) motivate me to achieve my goals, even if you do squat with your pants folded up (EEK!@!@$ lmao).

but seriously you get after it, always great watching your progress.

go get that 2-hand off SVJ.

What factors keep you from getting to NBA level?.

(UK citizen here).

factors keeping me from nba:
#1 skills
#2 no love for the game

i'm def not a bad basketball player, growing up i just destroyed every park locally, I really put in tons of work.. i just lost my love for the game, I definitely had some kind of D1-D2 talent that's for sure, but nba definitely not.. i don't play games or anything because:

#1 i don't want to get injured
#2 i would have to video tape, need someone to vid tape
#3 i'd like to have head on rim first

when i get head on rim i'll def start playing some ball to get in-game highlights.. i'd love to jsut sky on people and bring more of a 'football power' feel to the bball court, just destroying people with speed/cuts/massive dunks etc.. that'd be fun, but it's not worth risking injury until i achieve goal #1.

i have some weird but nice dribbling/shooting vids on youtube.com/adarqtv, check out the vivaldi dribbling vid, that's me doing some weird aggressive bball dribbling without even practicing, i just retain all those motor abilities from my many years being obsessed with the game.

peace man

Lol man, i just HAD to show my stupid quad to hamstring ratio... i swear you can see my complete quad from behind me and its not even funny. People don't even know that my quads are pistons. They ask "dam how do u just that high?" and I just pull of my shorts a little and they freak out lol.

You think having the hamstring catch up will make a significant difference? I mean I'll try to have it catch up to prevent any imbalance injuries of any kind.

Raptor · « **Reply #23 on:** February 26, 2011, 09:29:06 am »

Getting better hams will probably help you jump faster/extend faster at the knee, since the CNS will "know" (in lack of a better term) it can allow a faster knee extension because the hams are powerful enough to stop the knee from hyperextending (act as brakes). So therefore, at least in my opinion, your knee extension power will improve.

you've seen videos of me shooting around/dribbling and even playing, after what, 7 years of not playing/practicing, and I still destroy you in every manner regarding basketball. In my "prime" when I was actually playing/practicing I was definitely D1 level point guard material... very accurate quick release jumper off dribble/screens/everything (hornacek level quick release, could shoot with either hand from anywhere on the court), ridiculous handles, low turnover rate, great basketball IQ, very good passer, extremely well conditioned. I held my own against people who went off to play D1 in college, when I played AAU.. For my AAU team, I started over a point guard who went off to play at georgia tech but got "cut" because of grades. I routinely destroyed D1-D3 players and overseas players every summer on the streets. My coach begged me to play varsity senior year but I'm a knucklehead and didn't like his racist comments toward me, every time I saw him I wanted to stab him in the throat.

You can laugh all you want, because you "think I wasn't D1 material", but bottom line, no matter how hard you practice, no matter what type of achievements you'll ever earn, if you ever come to south florida I would completely wreck you (1 on 1, full, whatever) and I don't practice or give one fuck about basketball.

Post your shooting/dribbling videos zgin, so I can LOL back.

you may think you "struck a nerve with me", but you didn't, it's just I have someone who shoots semi retarded and can't dribble telling me "LOL. not d1".

adios

o i didnt know you started over someone at georgia tech. cuz all you would say was you got an injury junior year hs and didnt play senior year. and yeah, i gotta say your a nasty dribbler. when i come to south florida (or you come to ny to promote adarq.org

), we goin 1 on 1. haha. and i gotta get a shooting video up asap.

Dreyth · « **Reply #29 on:** February 26, 2011, 08:08:42 pm »

I think I may be ready for D1 in a year or two because of my insane jumpshot and slowly improving athletic ability... i routinely destroy this 6'6 shooting guard who's a damn junior in HS (averaging about 32ppg on varsity, and i think his championship game is today) who plays for York Prep. I mean we have LITERALLLLLY played 1-on-1 about FIFTY (50) times and I have beat him. He's getting a shit loaod of D1 looks because he's young, tall, and has a HELL of a 3 point shot. He's just skinny and lanky right. But out of all the times we've played, I've beat him...

every.single.time.

EXCEPT For the very last time we played, in which i lost by two points. Like I mean my record against his is probably 62-1, NO EXAGGERATION. And I mean that I have literally WRECKED this kid like 16-4 and 11-1 and 21-6 everyyyy singllleee timeeeeeeeeeeeee we play because NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES he just cannot stop my jumpshot...

I'm a freshman in college right now at fordham university, but i swear i think i can make the team. I'm doing a 5 year program anyway so I have another 4 years left...

omg man.... i just regained a lot of my motivation for basketball..... i need to re-name my log to "Dreyth's Journey to Division I Basketball."

i swear i think i can make that team because they're mid-major and kinda suck anyway, and i'm 6'1 but my jumpshot has insane potential (i remember being like 15 and hitting dozens of 3's in a row in game with LITERALLY fingers touching my face)... i just need to be like that every single day, and not just on my "on fire" days.

I never woulda thought I'd be so motivated to play basketball again like this. I can't forget that I'm on a mission and basketball is my life.......
