Introduce Yourself / New member, posted journal first before intro :(
« on: January 08, 2013, 06:11:08 am »
Well, i actually posted my journal about 2 weeks or more before this, i forgot to post an intro of myself here and rather got too excited to post in the journals section.
basically im tonkits, im from the philippines, im 25 years old.
Ive always wanted to dunk, tried a lot of jump programs out there but a lot of them made my knee hurt or never gave increase in vert in the long run (some increased my vert then just stopped giving results) ive also use vertical jump bible but lost my copy so i decided to just go with vertical jump manual. Right now im using darq basic template for full body workout, with 2 days rest in between.
so what made me focus on jumping and increasing my strenght, i have goals on my basketball skills and i think that increasing my vert and strength can help me achieve these goals. and maybe only at this age did i realized that i wanted to chase my dream and not let go, i want to dunk!
statistics
height: 6'0" w/o shoes
weight: 200
wingspan: 6'5"
reach: 7'9" i guess its more of 7'8" since i measured it while i was trying to reach up rather than just standing and raising my hand
svj: 27-28
right now after a week, im 195lbs, thanks to a lot of input from forum members. i have an ok wingspan but my slightly wider shoulders decrease my reach. i have little weight training experience but been researching a lot to be able to do exercises with proper form. my lifts have been improving and i can also feel the results since i feel lighter when jumping and stronger as well. as a result now i have heel pain because i only have access to concrete bball court and i get too excited and jump a lot in my bball games.
thanks for all the inputs im getting, will continue working hard and posting my progress, more power to all of you!
