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

interesting how i prefer using RL to dunk but prefer using LR to jump up and touch things lol.

this I do not understand..............  :ninja:

do you reach up with a different hand? or same hand? for dunking: LR with L-hand seems better than LR with R-hand... similar to RL with L-hand being better than RL with R-hand.

I could never do it though.. defaulted to jumping max and dunking the same exact way.

still touching 10'2 off one  step here. snowed out outside and haven't been to the gym in a while. guess i'm stuck with 1 and 2 step approaches for now. i have another thing thats set up at 10'6, gonna be pretty sick if i can touch that off 2 steps.

nice!

i use my right hand for both. yea, i kinda feel like LR with the right hand allows me to go more straight up whereas i'm jumping more forward off of RL.

still doing plenty of 10'2 touches off 1 step, both plants. it seems like i can't get up without a longer penultimate step now though, so i'm sure the deadlifts i've been doing have been paying off. quads don't get sore much anymore.

kinda sucks how strong quadriceps are so beneficial to two foot jumping but here i am stuck with an achy/clicky left quad tendon.

i forget.. but have you seen a PT? get that ish checked out if you can.. this has been going on for a long time.. and the clickyness symptom sounds annoying - tendon could definitely be jacked up.

get it checked!

yea i've seen two PT's. i've been following the first's advice pretty much, basically told me to deadlift to increase strength in glutes/hamstrings and neglect quads and stretch/foam roll them. yea, i'm gonna get an MRI on it soon to figure out what's exactly wrong wtih it lol.

still touching 10'2 really well off 1 step. 1 step vert in the low 30's i think? what i've gotta start drilling down in my head : height over penultimate length.

when i jump, gotta get out of my head that i need a long penultimate step too. i feel like i'm actually sacrificing height for the sake of just making a huge last step, so gonna cut that out.

haven't deadlifted in a while so i thought i lost some strength, but am actually still touching 10'2 off 1 step pretty well. can't wait to get back to lifting though. gonna concentrate hard on my deadlift, feel like i can eventually hit 405 at around 155 lbs.

hmm, still have 1 foot dunking dreams here lol. guess i'm finally gonna get an MRI on my knee and see how it really is. then after that, just nothing but a lot of deadlifts, 1 foot jumps, and a bit of sprinting.

damn this whole quadricep tendonitis thing makes things so complicating though. just wish i never messed up my knee with 1 foot jumping. if i didn't have this knee problem i think it'd just be going hard with trap bar deadlifts 3 times a week.

you think pistol squats hit the VMO hard enough though?

varies from person to person. for real isolation your best options are TKEs and SL machine leg extensions while concentrating on firing your VMO. externally rotating your leg a bit and palpating the muscle can both help get it to fire.

this x2 ^^

we used to do partner assisted TKE's: while seated on the floor, leg propped up on a foam roller, partner pushes down on the top of the foot and you just extend for those last few degrees.



i actually had a set of pistols "shut off" my VMO once.. waaay back, just tweaked it at the bottom of a pistol.. took a few weeks for my VMO to fire properly again.. was really weird. Did tons of TKE's to get it back to normal.

oh i see. well have no partner, but still gonna continue hitting TKE's hard solo. and i see. i really like pistols, so i guess ill continue doing them, but just gonna watch out for my VMO to keep firing properly.
