Another question, can you recommend another forearm exercise I can throw into my workout routine?

sledge levers, plate pinch singles, plate curl, thick bar deads.

That first dunk in the first mix looks better than anything I've thrown down at 10 feet I think

dno, would be kind of nuts if true considering i spent so much time with DLRVJ.. but ya that session would have been unbelievable for single leg jumps imo, those came within my first 7 dunk attempts including warmups.. i remember my hamstring just became worthless out of nowhere.. single leg jumps would kill my quad/itband, it felt like i had those 'forearm splints' from barbell bicep curls, but in my thigh.

thnx tho

, although I did dunk in games at 10 feet as well.

ya i never did that lmao.. tried a few times off a rebound, during a game of 21.

i remember this session, i felt like i was going to just fly, too bad my ham pulled... single leg.. trying to become single leg was tough.. those hamstring/quad "pulls/cramps" really wrecked my leg

Yeah I guess a very good balance between the quads and the hamstrings is needed for one leg jumps. If the hamstring is weak then you will collapse in the plant and the collapse will be disguised as a quad weakness, when in fact the quads are being overloaded because the hamstring is too weak and to relieve tension off it the knees will go forward and overload the quads...

It's taken me a while to figure this out but this is actually the truth of the matter.

Maybe I should focus much more on hamstring development in my own training if I want good one-leg jumps. That and calf development.

i think i just overloaded my quads so hardcore with double legged movements that they just couldnt handle repetitive slrvj's without getting damaged.. my itbands just got RAPED..

im going to focus alot on lighter/high rep movements and eventually high rep reactive work.. everything light though.. light/high rep + stretching + high rep reactive + eventually jump rope/running.

my emphasis is not going to be dunking tho, that'll just be some side thing i imagine.. want to put on some muscle i think..

I feel like kissing you.

I won't though.

do it.





is high rep nation bout to make a comeback?

about to go workout for the first time in ~1 year.. just going to do neutral grip pullups and maybe some pushups..

have no idea what to expect.. ive always had strong pulls and very weak presses 'genetically', imagine ill be able to do a few pullups HEH.

    Is any one still incorporating adarqui's concept of length tension motor pools in their workouts? Stretching and high rep squats? I really like the concept, any thoughts for people that tried it?

ltmp/high rep/rested max was by far the best stuff i ever did.. rested max is crazy advanced tho i dont advise it unless you are crazy experienced, mostly because allowing your ego to triumph over common sense is pretty easy.. rested max requires staying below the threshold of psyching up/work up sets, the idea being you just go from homeostasis to a 'safe' max effort without any workup/psyche ups in between, so it requires alot of experience.

ltmp stuff can be done very safely imo.. especially if you play with the higher rep work more so than the max effort single etc.......

i never felt better when doing ltmp.. the combo of stretching + heavy high rep/heavy singles made me feel the most bouncy ive ever felt in my life.. was pretty shocking.. landed my best dunks using that technique too.

heavy high rep work is brutal but i feel it's the most effective... incorporating that with ltmp technique i really feel it's ridiculously powerful.

peace

if i did get back into dunking it would be entirely single leg, i think.. and i'd try not to care about my weight.

even if i landed just weak dunks id just accept it and not focus on bodyweight etc.. not for any reason other than i want to eat lots of thai food.

i dont think i can really jump double anymore.. for me, jumping double required tons of aggression.. single leg would just surprise me even with relaxed jumps.

so ya, if i do dunk again it'd be single leg dosed up on thai food.

walked up to a really nice basketball hoop today.. first time in like a year.

glass backboard, breakaway, chain net, really nice hoop.. just looked at it for a while, was 10', thought about how last year i would have made a trip to this hoop to destroy it.. interesting.

then i jogged a mile today with my dog and almost had a heart attack.

uh oh... he's comin back.

I've seen you "like" dunk videos on youtube bro... you're thinkin about it again. I know it.

lol well, i still enjoy watching dunk vids.. i wont lie, i have thought about it, but it dissipates rather quickly.

if something pans out in the near future ill get back to working out.. if not, stay sedentary until it does.
