Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: I increased my jump of 2 feet by 4 inches in a day.
« on: August 25, 2011, 05:10:07 pm »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.

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.

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..

Peer Reviewed Studies Discussion / Re: Loaded vs. unloaded plyos -- effects on basketball players
« on: August 25, 2011, 09:27:19 am »Interesting. Do you have data on the SVJ/RVJ and strength numbers of the athletes before the test? My point of view has always been:
1) Athlete is weak and slow: Plyometrics are of little use
2) Athlete is moderately strong: Plyometrics are useful but weighted plyometrics are not.
3) Athlete is strong reactive and does not carry extra bodyfat: Plyometrics and weighted plyometrics are useful.
Obviously the scale is continuous. But the point is basically the more advanced the trainee is the more helpful weighted plyos are. I think of weighted plyos sort of like depth jumps from a large height. For advanced athletes they are great. For beginners they are simply a fast track to injury.
ya, that's why on here you'll catch alot of us talking about "low level reactive work", stuff like repetitive tuck jumps, pogos, line hop drills, etc.. i like those for beginners or any experience level, as long as they do not carry a high body fat % and are healthy, it's good to get in some rebounding training even if you're weak, but the intensity of the rebound training has to be low if you're weak... people who are really weak trying to perform depth jumps, bounds, etc, are asking for problems.. however, i consider low box dj's as safe for beginners, like 12" boxes etc.. any level of athlete will benefit from light rebound training, it still reinforces improvements in rfd/SEC efficiency.
