You're crazy skilled in the art of the self alley oop pass...I don't know how you do it, every throw is perfect.

That flag counter thingy is pretty nifty too.

svjs were 2 hand rim grabs ~ 30-32"

Wouldn't you have to be getting higher for that?  Or is your 92" reach measured with a 2 hand reach rather than 1?

Also, I saw from your youtube channel that you did smolov awhile ago...how did you find it? what kind of gains did you make from it?

damn :/ hope your ankle is healing up, is it at least progressing towards 100%? 2 months is pretty long, must have been a very serious sprain.

Yeah, pretty frustrating.  I'd put it at about 70%.  I can lift heavy again, but explosive stuff ain't there yet.  Tested it a bit the other day wasn't even able to grab the rim.

Hi all,  I'm here to achieve some fitness goals.  Especially in regard to improving vert.  I wanted to dunk for as long as I can remember.  Back when i was in high school I put it down a couple times, but I had to throw myself a perfect alley oop to do it.  Years went by and my fitness goals shifted to just basic bodybuilding type protocols....unfortunately I thought i was allergic to squats and most lower body exercises, so it's fair to say I'm pretty upper body dominant.

I turned 32 this past year and I wasn't ready to give up on the goal of dunking.  I started squatting more regularly (and deeper than ever), and started to learn the olympic lifts.  I added in a few sprints, and experimented with a bit of plyo.  Eventually I got to the point where I was able to dunk it pretty consistently. I wasn't able to do anything too impressive, but it still felt pretty awesome to be able to put it down.

A couple months ago I rolled my ankle badly....haven't been able to play or do much training since.  Anyway, I'm here to learn, train hard and get results.  If I can encourage others or help in any way that's cool too.   

Cheers,
Clarence
