Thursday I decided I'd go low in my squats, that I'd do them " the right way". Which meant i'd have to use less weight. For the last two days I've been extremely sore, so I was wondering do you gain more strength through atg squats or heavier half squats? Also are you working more muscles in the atg squats ?

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / How to improve running vertical jump?
« on: May 01, 2011, 10:57:48 pm »

Why is it that I jump the same height running from far out and jumping as I do off a slow and short distance run up?  how can I improve that?

For a few weeks I saw a great decrease in my performance, also felt burned out, which I kinda did on purpose the last five days of my 6 month workout. I know lifting a lot puts a lot of stress on the cns and recovering from overtraining can take weeks, months and even year,  and that it takes weeks to overtrain. so I'm not asking, what is over training I did my research on that. I'm asking does it appear that I overtrained overreached or neither? Here my workouts that I did after reaching my pb jumping height. On my rest days I sometimes play basketball, and I play hard, and also do rim touches at max effort, sometimes. So if I did overtrain what should I do as far as recovery,or just continue to rest as I am

Read this article today, would changing the type of squats I do be more effective. More interested in the lumberjack squats.

"The problem is that not every athlete, particularly those taller folks, are particularly well suited to back squatting. Some athletes are going to be much more suited to doing deadlifts, front squats, box squats, or lumberjack squats due to their size, flexibility limitations etc.

In these instances the 2x standard may not apply directly, but the message is the same. Get as strong as possible as you can on your prime mover big lifts and you will see great gains in your vertical jump."

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Ball handling
« on: March 03, 2011, 03:15:14 pm »
I have a question about dribbling. In an in game situation to keep a person with quick hands from stilling the ball when driving, is it best to dribble low and hard. Should you always dribble hard. I know you'll probably say yes to my question, but any really good ball handler know the key to protecting the ball when driving past a defender.

I have had some soreness in my left knee for about a month now but it recently started getting worse. I feel it when I straighten the knee from bent position, from straight to bent position, or from moving foot left to right from any position which moves the lower part of my leg. Not extremely painful but getting worse. Any idea what it could be?

First off, let me introduce myself. I'm 28 years old female. 6'0" tall. I've been playing basketball since I was a little kid. Currently in a local mens league. I was tired of getting out jumped for rebounds so I decided to increase my vert. Im a skinny lady around 124lb. I was 134lb before I started plyometrics and strengthing my upper body. I started out doing hardcore plyo 3months ago and gained around 4inches. I have a 28" standing vert. I started doing squats and deadlifts a weak ago. I now feel I can out rebound the majority of the guys I play with. I'm still not even close to being as strong as them but I'm a jump shooter. I currently can dunk but they're weak girly dunks. So my goal is to gain at least four more inches. I need as much help as possible. Let's make this our mission to have this girl dunking like the fellas!  ;D
