I was wondering what a good form of cardio would be that I can do in my living room. I really can't jump rope, so would light hops and jogging in place be okay? I'm kinda inspired to do this to get terrell owens lean or something similar because i'm incorporating the leangains/carbbackloading diet approach. I would do this fasted first thing in the morning  for 15-30 minutes, I really can't walk or jog any where. Would agility type drills work?

Yeah them hyperdunks + were very tempting. 3 months ago I said to myself that I was going to buy them for my birthday coming up this month, but now I won't because I love playing ball in my waffle racers and I know 250$ isn't really going to be worth it in the long run. I really don't like the Lebrons though, you might as well play in Timberlands.

and the only con to this is figuring out how to keep your phone tightly held to your core while jumping. It says to hold it there or use a fanny pack lol..

nice! those dunks looked effortless..

Thanks, That what every one says about my jumps even when I'm tryna jump as high as possible. I think it's because I have trouble with a fast run up and take off.

SICK!!!

i didn't even notice, but I DID NOTICE that you were on your toes alot.. which is a biproduct of waffles.

what is your opinion of them? how do they feel?

man i love my waffle racers but i think i'm going to try and get back to dunking in basketball shoes this time around... just need to find some really good light ones.

i'll continue to wear them for pretty much everything else though. my current waffles are wrecked but still usable, those things are tanks.

edit: COME TO THINK OF IT, it may be really hard for me to dunk in basketball shoes.. i really do love how waffles feel when i jump.. and since im focusing on single leg now, they feel even nicer with single leg jumps so.. dno.

 I really like the waffle racers!! You can't beat 30$, They are very snug and tight at first, and I though they were generally for those who have long and skinny feet. They quickly broke in though. I lift, dunk, and play pick up games in them and love it. I prefer light low cut shoes also. However, There really arent meant for the cuts and stops of lots of basketball, because they are  kind of loose on the sides of the forefoot as if they might start to rip. But overall these are some great shoes, especially for dunking.
I understand, it's hard to get used to basketball shoes after wearing light shoes like nike waffle racers and nike free 3.0 all the time.

ya runup definitely didnt look blazing but you were also going light and taking short runups..

just remember if you work on runup speed, it's always a focus on a smooth acceleration, not just an all out burst of speed.. has to be rhythmic imo.

Yeah I will try to focus on making it smoother but faster, I think I need to just try and get some dribble moves and steps down so if I get an open lane I can dribble up and dunk in a game. The only dunks I get in pick up games are usually fastbreaks, I would like to change that.

not sure what to criticize considering it was a light shoot around/light jumps etc..

everything looked pretty good, movements, jumpers, jumps, plant, runups, etc..

personally i would never take slow jumpers ever.. even in a relaxed workout.. i always focused on quick release, it seemed to really pay off.. i had such a fast release that i could pull J's on people in really tough defensive situations and i credit it to always focusing on making sure to maintain speed on the pullup & J.. if i was doing relaxed movements like you, it would be that speed except for the moment i decide to J..

i think that stuff helps.. when you look at a guy like tim hardaway or jeff hornacek (guys i grew up watching), their release was unbelievable.. could J in any situation & with the tightest defense on them.

dno, 2cents. ;0

Thanks for this in depth thorough analysis, seriously. Your right my release did look pretty slow on camera. maybe thats why I kinda naturally fadeaway every time, I must've just innately developed that because of my slow release. I will try to work on a faster release, but because of my natural fadeaway my shot never gets blocked. But a quicker release will defintely help me with spot up 3s.
I'll be sure to work on that.

Haha I guess it's the camera angle, I used my iPhone which was set at like 3 ft high on a chair and bag and it was kinda tilted up to get most of the goal in the frame... I wish I was 7 feet 

Raptor have you tried the RDL with a trap bar? maybe a better option. I really like them with a trap bar

It's very hard to beat chocolate milk in terms of practical simplicity and cheapness plus it's at every gas station. So after your gym workout stop and get gas for your car (assuming you drive) and get some chocolate milk too.
