ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Single Leg Jumping Improvement
« on: July 23, 2011, 08:56:40 pm »
Lance (or anyone else)
Im really looking to increase my single leg jumping . Off 2 feet my vertical is right around 40 inches but off 1 it is a much different story. Its very inconsistent. 2 week ago I got my first dunk off 1 and havent been able to come close since. At times I can even grab rim with two hands off 1 and other times, not even close.
Lately ive been doing BSS with a dumbbell, goblet style, for 3 sets of 5. Ive been using heavy weights, and 2 weeks ago I hit 20 reps with each leg with an 85 lb db. I weight about 160 so i feel my legs are pretty strong.
Do you have any suggestions on what kinds of lifts/plyo exercises I should be focusing on to improve my single leg jumping. Should I switch to donig the bss with a barbell now that the dumbbells are getting a little to heavy to hold, or should I pick a different exercise. What do you think is holding me back? Im really looking for some guidance as too what my training should be like to improve my single leg jumping while still improving my 2 footed jump at the same time.
If you've written a program for single leg jumping improvement i'd love to see it, or if you even had the time to write one up I would highly appreciate it. Not trying to ask for too much though. Any advice is very much appreciated.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Hang clean question for Lance
« on: July 23, 2011, 03:23:08 pm »
Lance,
I was wondering what direct effect hang cleans have on a persons vertical. In other words, how can they make you jump higher? I have a high vertical right now and can dunk easily. But I'm looking to become more explosive when going up with the ball. I lose about 2-3 inches when I dribble up to the rim with the ball. Being able to become more explosive with the ball in my hands will help my game tremendously and with a couple more inches I'll be able to dunk with two hands with ease off the dribble.
Do you think adding hang cleans to my training would help with jumping higher with the ball in my hands?

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: N.O. Xplode
« on: July 14, 2011, 08:45:13 pm »
i recently bough Cellucor C4 extreme pre-work. Its great. 60 servings for $35, and I'll only use a serving probably once a week on my really heaving lifting days. So this could last me close to a year when you add in weeks of rest/missed workouts.
Took it today for the first time. Within 15 minutes I felt like an animal. Bench felt really strong, got a 5lb PR with ease. Now, im not going to credit that all to the C4 but I deffinetly got amped up and had a great amount of energy, thats for sure. After working out I had a crazy pump. Chest, tris and bis were pumped like crazy. I'll continue to use this I loved. Great thing is, I feel great right now. I dont feel all amped up and energetic and I didnt crash either.

first still is amazing. next time you have a dunk sesh try to touch the tope of the square without the ball, just see how high you could get your hand over it. from that first pic it looks like you could get over it easily! crazy shit man great jumps
