He mentioned he is coming out with a jump book (in 2013)
I went to look at his website. I assumed its one of these ones

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / ACL Rehab. Strength imbalance in between both legs.
« on: February 10, 2014, 07:16:12 am »
So its been 1 year since ACL surgery (left knee)

My physio says he doesnt need to see me anymore. All i need to do is keep strengthening my knee.

right now my injured leg is smaller than my good leg and considerably weaker.

what is the best way to bring my injured leg back to strength to match my good leg?

Should i stop doing Bilateral exercises? Im afraid my dominant leg would just take over when i do things like barbell squats, and worsen my imbalance...

Introduce Yourself / coming from 'the vertical summit' !
« on: February 23, 2013, 10:30:31 am »
Hey Guys,

Not sure if many of you guys are from the old forums Terminal Vertical/ Vertical Terminal and 'The Vertical Summit' - TVS (been following Scooby  :-[ )
Well I've been lurking around the Vertical Jump Training community for a while now, but wasnt a frequent poster. I had journals in both forums.
I Wasnt very into training in the very begin, wasnt very consistent, and didnt push myself very hard...
got better 4 or 5 years? and eventually reached my goal of being able to dunk. TOOK ME A LONG TIME. and i wasnt very consistent at dunking.

But eventually, one month ago, i got to the point where i could make a clean dunk. (if i was fresh).
but the week after that i tore my ACL  :uhcomeon:

Its been 6 weeks since the injury and 3 weeks post-op.
Lost about 5kgs. leg has gotten smaller and virtually lost all strength. couldnt even stand on it after surgery. couldnt even lift it, kick it, bend it. could not walk.

Pretty devastated... but i will not let this set me back.
I will transform this disabled leg, into a leg that i can jump off and DUNK.
I AM DETERMINED TO GET BACK!
