Mate you're getting back up there lately. Great stuff.

Thanks Coges. I'm still a fair way off where I used to be though.

I played pick up today for 3 hours. My team won every game in king of the courts.

I did 10 dunk attempts and only managed to land 1 of them so my best vertical is around 34 inches atm. I can't even touch the rim from standing vertical (26 inches for me to touch the ring) but with a run up I'm able to get 30+ on every attempt.

34" = good stuff ^^

34" at 90kg is 38" at 80kg.... Easy path to jumping high for you.

Thanks adarq.

Yeah it'd be interesting to see my vert if I can get down to sub 80kg again.

I'm playing pick up tomorrow.

Also the other thing to keep in mind besides practice is that shooting (just like any other skill in life) also comes down to innate ability. Look at golf and somebody like Tiger Woods. He started out playing when he was very young, but if you took 10,000 people and they all practiced exactly the same amount of times as Tiger Woods at the same age etc. and did everything he did there would be an extreme amount of variation in the sample group. Look at Shaq and his free throws as an example. Being a professional player and having world class coaches and all the resources that come along with it he still struggled with his free throws but he did improve. Basketball is a fairly simple game. Work to your strengths and just keep practicing your shooting. Getting all wound up about  shooting mechanics and technique is failing to see the forest for the trees.

@toddday great post.

X2!

Shooting is a skill. Skills get improved through practice. Iverson was regarded as a chucker but he still averaged around 30 points a game.

Have a great holiday

I started my workout but finished it early because I was just too bloated from eating too much tonight before I went to the gym
Horrible feeling.
