NBA just put out a white chocolate highlight reel. not many nba players have made basketball look as fun as he did.

I came to this thread to post that exact video.. :)

ya j-will was someone I learned alot from back in h.s.. loved his flashy but effective game. He was definitely one of the most fun players to watch, that i've ever seen. What was it, j-will, c-webb, divac, and stoyokavich on the kings? Kings/Lakers was a sick matchup back then.

yo raptor.. not much to add unfortunately.. sorry for the extremely late reply ;/

I have to add some stuff to the discussion:

1) For whatever reason, I could always keep my foot dorsiflexed when I was doing LLLL or RRRR bounds. But whenever I try to do LRLR bounds, I fail miserably. Also the arms play a big role in this - in the LRLR I get my armswing all messed up and I start to move really weird. If you have the arms somewhat straight, you're going to fail. If you have the elbows bent, you will be able to keep the rhythm. Again, in my experience.

LLLL video (this was 6 years ago):

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E71QOrWbyaI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E71QOrWbyaI</a>

ya definitely don't want to use straight arms; you want to use 'sprinter arms'.

as far as that LLLL video goes, it's actually LLLLLLLLLLLLLL :f I mean that may have something to do with how you are bounding. If it was truly LLLL or LLLLL (4-5 bounds), your "mental goal" would more easily change to "max power" / "max distance". It looks more like a single leg sprint video.. which isn't necessarily a bad thing (it's effective); it's just not bounding obviously.

Did ever you notice any difference if you did 4-5 MAX EFFORT bounds? Regardless of form, a distance goal can really help..

LRLR video - you can see how horrible they look, everything is wrong, they look like primetimes:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho3JljB4d2Y" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho3JljB4d2Y</a>

ya, wrecked, arms especially. Again too many bounds though.

both your LLLL and LRLR bounds lack that vertical component.. there's no real emphasis on 'getting up and out'.. in either case it just seems like you're performing too many bounds to begin with, subconsciously or consciously changing 'the goal' of the movement. If you were focusing on 'maximum height and distance', you'd spend a bit more time on the ground & apply significantly more power on each bound... but obviously you can't do that for as many bounds as you are doing in the videos.

your LRLR looks more like stiff leg bounding.



Quote
2) What's up with the armswing, by the way? Some people can do single leg bounds really well with a double arm swing, yet when I try to do them I start to rotate around, so I have to do them like Eddie is doing them in that video - single arm. This is also true for 1-leg jumps - if I use a double arm swing I start to rotate to the left, so I use a single arm swing to compensate for that. Not to mention that in a double arm swing jump the jumping leg gets sooooo overloaded from all that "weight" being applied onto it... I guess if I were stronger I could use a double arm swing but I'm not. So IMO a double arm swing jump is more powerful, a single arm swing is "quicker".

I wonder what do you think about these issues?

as for not being able to do double arm swing because of rotating.. dno.. maybe you are bringing your arms out too much like in that LRLR video? your elbows are going out too far from your body.. that could cause you to rotate.. it's as if you're throwing a left and right hook to the body, slightly.. that's going to attempt to cause alot of rotation.

as far as double arm swing being more powerful and single arm swing quicker, agreed.. you can load up alot more with double arm swing, bigger ROM.

slept in way too late today!! feh.

i like what i did prior to my day run, contrast shower really helped my legs wakeup.. lungs however, different story. Lungs feeling dead could just be me not being able to cop with any lactic acid .. i havn't been eating as much as when I was loading up on bananas.. so my body could be tapping more into fat instead of glycogen today (and tomorrow considering how I ate).

was going to singup for a tennis tournament on saturday but they have a strict dress code and it's scheduled to rain all day (like it has been all week). They require tennis shorts and a tennis shirt.. i actually don't have that. HEH! I have normal clothes for tennis, but not 'club level'. So forget it for now..

- depth jump @10" x 10,10
these are dumb. should be doing fewer reps, more intensity.

You can still do 2 x 10 @ 18" though if you've progressed your volume / box height (which you've done). I personally like the volume. Verkhoshansky usually prescribed shock phases with 3-4 x 10, but from even higher heights (above SVJ).

I think I remember you not liking 10 reps at 18"+ box height though.. Definitely don't want to increase box height & hit 10 reps if you're feeling aches/pains in your knee/back etc.

Is he 'genetically gifted'? or did he work for his jumping ability? I imagine it's the former.. maybe i'm wrong though.

I usually get angry when genetic jumpers tell us non-genetic jumpers to "relax". For me it was quite the opposite.. to get higher, I had to get more angry. The act of jumping for me is very violent. As I got stronger (squat, plyos, work capacity), my relaxed warmup jumps got higher, but they were nowhere near my PR jumps.. I got to the point where I could do relaxed warmup dunks, they felt great.. but in order for me to achieve peak power, I had to start getting aggressive. If you've ever seen me journal about "hurting the ground", "pushing the earth down", "getting ampd", "psyching up" etc; that was an angry, aggressive mindset. I mean how many times have you seen me yell before or after a dunk? I'd even put my teeth together and almost 'growl' with my throat (with valsalva) many times before attempting my best jumps, similar to grinding out a heavy near maximal squat.

This is a good example of extreme anger dunking.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xypWSL5YVEw ... I remember this session good. I was really amp'd up, had a bad day watching my grandpa, dad got home real late (had to wait for him to come home before I could leave my grandpa), got to the basketball gym (24 hour fitness) at 12:30 AM.. started dunking around 1 AM.. if you notice the clock on the wall, that's not PM, it's AM.. Anyway.. that's not relaxed jumping. That's violent-aggressive jumping.

So I guess my point is.. if being relaxed works for you, then great that's much better than having to amp up and go psycho to get every inch out.. This would most likely indicate you are HIGHLY reactive. If not, you're going to have to probably get really amp'd up to get every inch out of your jumps.. and it may only happen on a few jumps. Many of us equate jumping to shotput, except you're throwing your body:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvAlL20-K4w

guy is yelling as he's throwing it.. just so intense.

just something to think about..
