great improvement man seriously your running jump looks so much better keep practising man
when it comes to your standing vertical jump you really need to use your arms more forcefully Check this video out if you can get your standing vertical jump form looking like this u will properly get up higher

Someone might be able to increase his squat a lot but not lose fat. Should he , e.g. , freak out about his 15% bodyfat and try to get it to 10% ? or let it be and get his squat from 2*BW to 2.5*BW? Best choice is the latter.
Knowing your weaknesses and trying to improve them is important , but it is more important to see your strong points and keep pushing those that keep improving.
in a case like that i would look at what gives u the best bang for you buck and increase the squat while at least maintaining the BF% and not letting in get to high.

Steven miller's dropstep is the same with his SVJ. That is weird , one would say he is lacking plyometric ability. Should he change his training plan to improve that? In my humble opinion NO WAY , he should keep doing what he does , it works , his squat goes up , his oly lifts go up , his SVJ and dropstep go up , no need to change something. "you don't change a team that is winning".
As for scooby , if his jumping was bad for his strength, then we could consider things differently. But now it's fairly normal , low 300's squat , low 30's jump , nothing too weird. He just needs to push his strength up ( which he can as we know from his powerlifting past ).
Just my 2 cents..
who knows what would happen if he did add plyometrics to his workout dude would properly have a crazy high running vertical

« on: July 19, 2011, 05:26:17 pm »a running vertical jump is basically taking horizontal force and turning it into vertical force right
I don't think that this is a good or useful estimation of what happens in a running vertical jump. Where do you have that from?now from the looks of the video his run up to the hoop decelerates due to stutter stepping (losing potential force) optimally you wanna be constantly accelerating before you jump and also his last two steps seem a bit long from what i read a penultimate step(basically two close quick steps) is optimally for the last two steps provide more potential force. im not a expert on form or anything but from what i read and learn and implemented into my form its helped a lot but everyone is different.
Taking your strange statement from above into account I can understand why you would think that. But I can say with some confidence that there will be no improvement in jump height from a quicker run-up for this athlete. The reason being that the quickness of a run-up and its useful utilization in a vertical jump is not merely an issue of jumping form but of the athletic capabilities of the subject. If he is not strong, powerful and reactive enough to handle a quick run-up, he will actually lose jumping height from a quicker approach.VAG his improvements on his lifts are key but people alway seem to neglect the actually practising of jumping.
improving vertical jump in no practically order
1. improve lifts (normal and explosive)
2. improve plyometric ability and reactiveness
3. improve jumping technique
4. Improve body composition
5.flexiblity
i think most people when it comes to improving vertical jump should take a holistic approach it seems like most people focus on one aspect and neglect the rest.
The problem is that resources are limited and not every point can have priority. There will be things that are more important than others and working on some of the above will actually do nothing at certain points in time. I don't want to sound condescending, but I believe that you will have to make your own experiences with those issues yet and that your opinion is so far based on very little.
maybe i choose a poor choice of words or my understanding of a running vertical jump is wrong but i always thought that it was taking your horizontal velocity and converting it to vertical velocity.
what i meant by constantly accelerating is that he should be gradually accelerating with each step without any stutter steps of pauses and doing so with his maximum controlled velocity.
i think one should find out what weakness they have make that the priority and work down from there this is based on my personal experiences i neglected certain aspects of training and my performance decreased.

« on: July 19, 2011, 11:17:25 am »i think a primary focus on improving relative strength whilst adding in some light plyometrics and implementing the jump techniques adam linkenaguer suggest is the best way to go seriously you cant say improvement in jump technique wouldnt help
As far as his SVJ is concerned there is certainly some room for improvement that will come with practice. His jump from a run-up is already a well practiced skill for him and I don't believe he will gain much from "working on his form" alone.
his jump from a run-up has been practiced but has it been practiced efficiently and with proper technique "perfect practice makes perfect"
i do agree that improvement in form alone isn't the answer but i definitely think it could help more then you think.
Fair enough, we do not have to agree on that. But I would like to know which basis it is that you formed that conclusion on.

« on: July 19, 2011, 10:01:34 am »unbelievable mix, best mix i have seen in a long while.
same, myree is so impressive.. he has so much style in the air, plus his hops are elite level, then he crushes them rim with full aggression.. it's disgusting.
+10000000 , haven't seen such inhuman float for a long time. Last so impressive mix that i remember was the AUT TFB session.
speaking of AUT has anyone see any recent dunk mixes of his or know what his doing theses days it seems like i havent seen anything from him in awhile

i think he should watch the adam linkenauger video at http://jumpingtechnique.com/ it really helps one understand jumping form and also provides some exercises that one can do to improve form
