You mean you cannot dunk at all?!?
man that's hard to believe...I bet you'll fly a couple of weeks from now
well nope i can't.. ive jumped like 3 times in two months..
i have pretty bad genetics for power.. without all that frequency/heavy lifting my body turns back into mush.
damn. I know you always say you got bad genetics,I really didn't realize HOW bad you mean.
that does actually make me respect you more than I did for you athletic achievements.
40 inches with this kind of "decompensation" rate is out of this world.
ya im claiming 39 btw ;d, even if i did hit 40, i didnt hit it enough to claim it.. so its not official.. i know 39 fell for a fact though.
ya man, i have horrible genetics for power etc.. almost every time i've deloaded, my vert would drop.. the only time it didn't is when i just transitioned to pure shock-blocks, which isnt a deload..
without weights/plyos I'd probably be 24" SVJ and 30" SVJ max. heh!
in college I was like < 24" svj and 28" rvj, with just bball training/trying to jump max.
i kept up pure intensity for 2 years to get to ~39" rvj.. it takes its toll on you mentally, when you have such shitty genetics, that if you fucking take a week off it drops hardcore, or, when you're PR'n, you partially tear tendons/strain muscles/develop tendonitis.. etc.. shit gets in your head sometimes.. i kept it out for 2 years but i think after i hit the 2 year mark i was just like...... mehhhhhhhhhhhh...
after I tore my hamstring tendon up a bit, every time i was PR'n my jumps, it would resurface.. that really got to me.. its like i just wanted to have fun and dunk/keep progressing, but then i'd have to work around an injury by doing other crap for a month and no jumping.. probably the worst injury I've had (worse than broken bones/torn mcl etc).. cause it just comes back when im making progress, and feels like razorblades in my knee.
so ya that shit got to me a bit, instead of having fun I was just battling too much crap.
I'll probably be jumping a bit more now.. I miss throwing down some self lob dunks.. plus I can make cooler vids when dunking ;d
I want to make gains w/o weights though, I'm tired of weights... those depth drops from 50" got me using full force in my arms to get out of the chair/bed, i can barely walk, so much soreness.. heheh
peace man
