Hey arowe. how much has tennis effected your jumping sessions in the past? I wanna peak on Monday but i have tennis singles on sat for 1.5hrs and i want to get in a msem workout as well that day.

I guess it depends on how intense it is. For me, I never really play matches... I just rally for about an hour. That seems to be like a perfect warmup for me, actually most of my big pr's have come right after playing tennis.

There are plenty of times when I play tennis and do a session (lifting/jumping) in the same day, but the tennis is not really that taxing.

If the tennis is going to be pretty intense then I would try to do the MSEM session before it, or, play tennis, eat/rejuvenate, then do the session a few hours later.

I think he's close to a 50

Look at his ankle stiffness on the dunk at 1:07

Well if you used comments on youtube videos as your sample then about 98% of people have a 40+" vert. luuuulz

I don't know if I would trust many studies though because vert numbers are so inflated everywhere, it's stupid. I pretty much don't believe any vert number I hear unless I see proof. I'm so tired of everybody claiming they have a 36" vert or they can dunk or they used to be able to dunk... blah blah blah.

A true 40" rvj is very rare. A true 40" svj is probably 5x more rare.

Something weird I have noticed since my last jump session... my lower back has been popping a lot, it actually felt tight right after the session. I think my spine was compressed from all the landings. My lower back usually pops when I'm squatting a lot but I haven't squatted in a week or more so it has to be from the jumps.

Did upper body tonight. Jackt.

Most likely gonna try some more 10' dunks tomorrow... if they suck then I'll cut it short and try again Friday.

MUST THROW ONE DOWN TO MAKE THIS SHIT OFFICIAL.

This is the best jumper/dunker I've ever seen on Hoopmixtape, and he's only 5'10

Crazy explosive, serious float.

I saw about as close as you'll get to a fight in tennis once at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami a couple of years ago. It was a qualifying match between Alan Jones and Teimuraz Gabashvili. Alan Jones was like a game from winning and Gabashvili called for the trainer (medical timeout). After the match Jones was calling him a "fucking pussy" as he was walking off the court. It was on an outside court so there weren't many people around and I was very close, hilarious stuff.

People who have tiny calves usually have long tendons and can run fast and jump high.
