Man... does he coil or what?!
By the way - I timed those jumps in the past - the first jump ended up as 53 inches and second as 51.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijOSJ1KqYqA







great dunks, great music and great...WTF!? is that a Predator on the right side on the screen! OMG! Darqui run for your life bro!
This comes from an advertisement not scientific study:
www.somatics.de/FascialFitnessTerraRosa.pdf
The advertisement is pretty dishonest as well. Kram and Dawson's paper is about whether hopping is favourable in arid climates, their paper never mentions the word catapult, nor do they mention gazelles. The statement is quite silly because most mammals (including humans) can jump farther than can be explained by just the force of muscular contraction. This is why we jump father after an approach, we are able to store energy in our tendons. This is why plyometric training in addition to strength training allows people to jump higher.
If you believe that this tdubs athlete is able to jump high because of some technical prowess that is fine. But to claim he is able to twist his myosin filaments and then severely misquote an advertisement which severely misquotes some scientific papers is unnecessary and does a disservice to those who read your posts.
It also makes people refuse to consider the possibility that this athletes take off mechanics allow him to store more energy from his approach, something which is entirely possible. However, I will tell you that I have extensively studied long jump mechanics and even written papers concerning the long jump and that Carl Lewis and Mike Powell both jump close to 30 feet and have drastically different takeoff mechanics and takeoff velocity. So even if this athlete uses this take off to achieve his high leap, it does not suggest at all that this is the only way to do it.
Totally horrible comparison.
+1.
Who would you say has the most elasticated Achilles tendons out of T-DUB & Conley? & reason why?, comparing that vid to the Rucker Park NYC dunk vid.
Including sprinters, long/triple jumpers, I think T-DUB could have the most elasticated Achilles tendons on the planet?. Doesn't mean he's going to run faster/jump farther but the way he springs off the ground is just incredible IMO. But it's a full body thing.
I whole heartedly believe it's more to do with his technique & dedication than anything else IMO, including any secondary exercise outside of dunkin'/even genetics. Just using your own bodyweight/forces can be enough resistance to produce awesome results, just add in great technique which complies with OP quote.

I actually tried to hit the backboard with the head and didn't succed because of insane fear on the first try, as I wasn't thinking I was able to actually do that and almost crushed my head on it LOL.
And yeah, I tried to pull the legs. Wanted to try something different. I am mad for that first miss, felt really high. I'm happy with the cool frames though

















hey man i'm gunna be a doucher and ask you for some workout advice!
so my lower back is in really terrible shape and squats seem to be making it worse...i'm looking into finding a good strength coach to workout the kinks with my so i don't feel like i'm dying the next 48 hours+ after i squat but in the mean time i was thinking i'd stop squating and try doing heavy barbell lunges since they don't seem to cause me pain...whats your take brother? does this sound good? or do you have anything else you think i might wanna try?
thanks Andrew i appreciate your time mon chum!
Happy GizDay!(spelled with a G, not a J, did u understand, raptor)

My comment on youtube:
darqman: the master of self lob 2 handers. First one is just brutal. I wish I could throw 'em down like you bro, hangin on the rim after those must be a great feeling.
Awesome dunks, I know I say it every time, but you seem to top yourself everytime so it's well deserved. P.s.: if you dunked on my court, you wouldn't have to add the explosion sound effect after each made man ahahahah!
