really awesome jumps for a 2 leg jumper no doubt. you're still the good ol quad nation adarqui :D don't really use glute power in the jump, in my last step on 1 leg jump my whole body looks like this--> \
It's definitely harder for two legged jumpers to develop a single leg jump than the other way around from my experience, so props t you.
Also, I had the shook ones II beat as my ringtone for 2 years, i like that.  peace 2 worm a.k.a maggot

thanks man.. ya mobb deep is my sh*t, i still play infamous/hell on earth and it's 2011, been playing it since 1996. hah

i have pics of my whole body looking like \ .... from a good side angle it does.

Thank you for your one-leg jumps, you should do that more often. Try getting the ball with both palms the next time, see what happens (I can't, I always have this tendency to "throw" my left arm downwards when I dunk, but you might not).

ya i want to do more single leg tomorrow, dno tho

ive hit 2 handers off slrvj, but on 9'11 rim

slrvj's leave my left glute/leg so sore hehe.









tons of water retention

bw = 152
soreness = left glute, left leg
aches/injuries = left leg, right knee from stretching (aggravated my knee injury from 4+ weeks ago)
diet = 3 hour walk with 12 lb weighted vest (1 hour up, 1 hour hills, 1 hour back), 5 egg burrito + hamburger burrito + 6 bananas


drank so much fluids today.. wanted to dehydrate a bit, got to 146 after walk.. then i drank like 10 glasses of crystal light.. 155 before sleep hah.



i really love long distance walking.. especially the hills stuff.. i felt SO good after that 3 hour walk.. even after drinknig so much fluids, then finally ate around 7pm, and felt like crap.. hah

Flip was saying he currently sucks at squatting.

He came in and did two sets of 120x3 half squats without a belt AFTER 4 sets of BSSs with 22.5 kg dumbbells. He was saying 100 kg feels heavy with a belt on a week or so ago and he comes in today and does this ^^^

sounds like flip caught a good wave, keep ride'n that sh*t flip.

first slrvj dunk is nice

I had 66 kg (145lbs) my lowest, but still had a belly (wtf is up with that) and back than i could feel i was faster when jumping off 1 leg, weight is definitely a factor..

Do you guys think, me being 5'8", 5'9" with shoes weighing up to 160 lbs will have a direct negative affect on my SLRVJ assuming relative strength stays the same? 

I weigh 151ish right now, and want to bulk up to 160.  I know bulking up is not the best thing when it comes to SLRVJ, but of course I won't go past 160.

Basically what I'm asking is,

2 single leg jumpers that are 5'9".  One weighs 160 and the other weighs 150.  Equal body fat%, relative strength, equal everything else.  They will probably jump the same in a DLRVJ, but will there be other factors coming into play performing a SLRVJ with 10 extra pounds of weight that will make the 150lb guy jump higher?

if it's mostly lower body mass it shouldn't hurt.. it would probably help most people, as most people muscle up their slrvj's.

If most of the 10 pound gain came from upper body, will it hurt the vertical?

it should, a little, maybe 2" or so.. if you're adding considerable muscle weight to everything else except the prime movers (hip/knee/ankle musculature), then expect slightly decreases in performance unless you get alot stronger in the prime movers.. it comes down to relative strength after all.

i apply the "anger approach" to slrvj also... a good example is today, my best dunk came right after this manager came and told me to stop recording... i asked him for one more dunk, he said ok, and as you see him walking towards the door i just smash it down nasty.... i was "legit mad" that he told me to stop recording, i didn't show it to him of course, because im polite, but that anger helped get me to launch on my slrvj.

unless you're a bouncy freak, you're going to have to try and recruit those extra MU's just like you would in a double leg jump.. with double or single, you're not "tightening up" when you use anger of course.. anger is just going to cause a greater release of corticosteroids etc, increase mu output, so it works for single or double.

I hope he does great for the contest he will take part in soon, so he can make a name for himself even more and get all the credit and respect he deserve. this guy is the truth man.

same man.. love your comments on his utube too.

when is the contest? saturday right? or sunday?

15175
yup

when i jump/dunk my best, im always angry.. when im passive/bored/relaxed, i most often stink it up..

i try and tap into that anger too, to get higher.. ipod really helps, havnt listened to one while dunking for a few months, need to get back on that.

i usually grunt/grind my teeth and think about a few things that piss me off.

Me = me.

Since I got this hernia thingy. But at his 120x3 on the squat he has a long way to go. He has great upperbody strength since he worked pretty much all on that... I think he has a bench press of 110x5 at ~85 kg bodyweight.

oh i misread.. my bad

you got an actual hernia? diagnosed? not self diagnosed?
:/

And isn't jumping/dunking indoors better than outdoors?

i like to mix it up.. sometimes i jump higher outdoor, sometimes higher indoors.. i never know really.. but more than that, i just like a change of scenery.. dunking in the same gym every time would bore me so much i wouldnt even dunk eventually.. i have to rotate through all of the courts i have access too, to stay "excited".

my fav court is that other indoor gym i drop most of my good mixes from.. that's nba level surface, feels amazing.. plus there's always tons of people there to keep me awake mentally.

man sometimes i get so bored at the courts.. i played a game of 21, then i bring out cam and im like hey yall wanna get this on film? and those pussies wimped out.. "nah man dont put me on film", probably coz i was destroying them and they knew i was about to actually start playing.. so weak lmfao

anyway, so bored that i did some single leg jumps.. weird cam angles koz i was told not to film:

i guess i was so bored because i wanted to go outdoor today.. then i had to go to this shitty 24hour fitness.. stupid hurricane ruining my dunking.


this dunk came RIGHT AFTER guy told me not to film, dropped it down nasty..

Previous PR was 265 lbs once, hit 300 pounds today easy!!!!! :personal-record: :personal-record: almost 2x body weight full squat, weighed in at 155 today. legs feel crazy strong right now and its showing in my vertical.  looking forward to getting back into squatting, hope to get up in the high 300s.
