still trying to increase the range for my 3 pointers too. lower body wise, seems like glutes are very important for shooting.
yep. i'm a bad basketball player so take this with a grain of salt, but when i cue myself to pop my hips when i'm shooting my % skyrockets.
after 3 hours of non-stop research (yes i'm weird), I went with the adidas adios boost 3's instead of the 2's.. For one simple fact, the boost 2's have some 'ridge' down the middle in the forefoot, and people say they can feel it. I know for a fact that will annoy the absolute fu*k out of me, so, I went with the 3's.
I ordered these:
Here's the ridge vs no ridge:
that ridge down the middle looks evil annoying.
ok so.. these are going to be heavy for me (~8 oz) but, I think that'll help me when I try and do some 20+ mile runs.. Well, I think that'll help me more than my NB RC5000v2's - which aren't meant for that - and I think I can feel that they aren't meant for that.
we'll see.

i think i've asked you before, but what do you think about trap bars? especially with the high handles i think you could do what you're doing with the pin squats, just better cause you don't have that huge stress on your spine
i remember answering .. lol!
yeah I love the trap bar. If I had one I would use it. I prefer it over deadlift and the high handles help lots of people - better starting position.
As for huge stress on the spine, it's not that huge, especially at the weight i'm lifting. Oh, if you were referring to the video I posted (225 x 45 off pins), ya that wasn't a large stress either. 225 was very easy to handle at that point, felt like 135 feels now. hehe.
fwiw, i've seen people bounce with trap bars, that actually seems fairly dangerous.
