looks like I'm going to need a 50 to be able to throw it down.  That aint going to happen unless i replace my calves with rockets.

I don't know why I am giving you adivce but IMO, don't even think about the idea of dunking now. You're so far away you should just keep it from entering your mind to avoid getting discouraged. Just focus on short-term goals like losing some goddamn body fat and having a healthy ankle. Then start on stuff like 2xBW squat, 35'' SVJ, 2.5BW squat, 40'' RVJ, etc.. Might take you years but look at what Kingfish has done by training smart and being dedicated. At least point yourself in the right direction.

losing body fat when all you get is food stuffed down your face is tough.... in america, no one looks down upon gluttony.

Complete bullshit. No one MAKES you eat. You may not have access to a great diet but portions and the ability to say no is paramount. I'm sorry but unless you have a medical reason for being overweight the only person at fault is you.

And yes this is a pet peeve of mine lol

Lol! Damn. But Raptor is taller so it makes since. What I can't stand is the 6' guys with 6'5" wingspans! Gahhhhhh!!!!!

Sir Isaac...being ridiculous as usual. Damn.

Amen! Having played with some very good D1 players I can attest to the truth in Todddays statement.  Their SKILLS are just off the charts, the athleticism isn't for the most part. Sure there are a few freak athletes but having a 40" svj won't make you an allstar. Having a deadly j and tight handles will.

Thanks! Id trade it for a W tho lol

Lost by 16. SMH. We had a good balanced attack tonight just couldn't put together a good run when we needed it. We were down 11 with 1:12 to go and just let them hit a few 3s so it was closer than it appears, mostly a 8-10 point lead for them all game. I pulled myself with 8 to go in the first half because everything I shot was just a hair to long, back rimmed everything even a few step back 20+ footers. Went to a nearby court and had a buddy who was playing later help me run through some drills and I found my touch but we just couldn't get over the hump.

On a super positive note I got my FIRST IN GAME dunk with 47 seconds left!!!!  I beat a guy baseline and no one rotated over so I went up and put a clean one hander down! I'm bummed we lost but still pretty pumped about that so I'm probably going to eat and then go lift some lol!

Core work and did some upper stuff. Chest is noticeably weaker post vacation. Weight seems to stabilized in low mid 170s. If I can continue to get stronger I'd like to stay around this weight, seems like a decent compromise. Shot around for 20 mins for a cool down. Rec league tourney starts Tues so i didn't go to heavy or crazy with volume, want to be fresh. Also, I've decided I'm going to try a sort of split schedule after the tournament for 4-6 weeks and see how my body responds. If I can recover well enough I'll continue it.

Oh, the future father in law got a new video camera and gave us his old one. It doesn't shoot in HD but I filmed a few dunks with it, just need to load a driver on the computer that works with it? Going to look at it more later.
