happy bday dude, we're approaching the big 3-O!
happy birthday mang, I couldnt find any funny pic so I leave you this one from a board of a teather I saw in Argentina
happy birthday boss. this gonna be a year of improvement getting closer to breaking those teeth on the rim. all jokes aside you the best trainer out there man.
one thing that'd be great man is if you could write some stuff about speed training. that'd mean a lot to me cuz i take your word seriously. something like what you did with the single leg jumper's toolbox. shit was dope. peace man.
The best is yet to come.......and the worst.
Hope u have a good one.
Happy birthday man!
Hey andrew,
long time no chat
happy bday btw
quick training question if cool?
just then i did 175kg times 5 trap bar deadlift on blocks (about kneeish high) rack DL if you will
Im 6 foot 3
about 88 to 90kg (200lbs ish) and
looking at your PR vid of 315lbs times 5 at 145lbs
i thought i would try this and adjust weights by adding my extra bodyweight 55lbs or so (385lbs times 5) which i did.
I also looked at your bottom leg position too which my trap DL replicates angle wise
and trying to keep spine neutral
SO phew:)
just wondering, my back feels ok now, but how do feel this would compare for vert leap benefit in comparison to your half squats that you do? ( i dont have ready access to a power rack btw)
keep up the great site and work:)

adarqui, replicate how T-DUB is running/lining upto the basket. Then your on your way to producing masses amount of full-body elastic energy.
There is no great T-DUB coil or spiralling of the myosin filaments from that position your in within that pic.
See the guy with the red shorts in the pic?, he is facing in the same direction how T-DUB is setting up when he plants.
In that pic from your last dunk session, your feet/legs/torso have to be pointing to the right wall (the direction the guy in the red shorts is facing), IF your to replicate T-DUBS super dunk/action/elastic energy development.
Watch the vid, watch where T-DUBS left foot/legs/torso plant & look where the camera is at. He is completely face on (facing the right wall in your dunk picture). Overtime this coiling will generate huge amounts of elastic energy especially in the achilles tendons & throughout the entire body.
Trolling?.
I posted you the quote. Can't really make it any clearer.Quote
^ 'as the descending weight'. T-DUBS bodyweight.
'twists in the bands on the way down'. T-DUB planting/torquing.
'it enables the muscle to store high amounts of elastic energy'.
wait, t-dub has a secret technique to jump insane? who taught it to him? or does he do it naturally? and if people incorporate this spiraling technique, how many instant inches can they expect?.
It's not really a secret technique.
All T-DUB is doing issquaring up his body/feet to the basket (increasing elastic torque throughout his whole body, mainly achilles tendons)enjoy being a rare freak of nature, as opposed toyou who dunks mainly head on. Your not storing & releasing any elastic energy dunking that waythe vast majority of people that have to work their asses off under the squat bar hoping to reach just some decent percentage of his inhuman natural strength/power levels.
T-DUBS secret lies in hisAchilles tendons due to all the winding/twisting his body imparts on them when he plants his feet through 100's/1000's of dunksgenetics , all he has to do is get off the couch and jump 50''. Whatever he does , boingvert , air alert , backpedal bike , abs&stretch ( AUT ) will seem to work and gain him inches.
There is no wayperforming weighted calf raises can compete in terms of generating elastic energy with the technique/forces T-DUB generates when planting/dunking. (Refer back to the quote in OP/watch vid)anyone sane would believe that being probably the best jumper/dunker in the whole word has to do with some ankle rotation.
Bam.
Fixed

Happy bday man, health and hapiness!
29 huh? old fart status pretty soon , awesome!
happy birthday andrew! you old now man... haha jp
Happy birthday man!
Those VMOs are quite coming out right there...
I don't get the "3 plates" thing though - why do you consider a 45 lbs plate "a plate"? Why not 55 lbs or another value?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANG!
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND ALL THE HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS IN TRAINING AND IN LIFE MAN!
47 VERT. PERIOD.
HIT HEAD AT RIM. PERIOD.
Happy B-day, Darqman.
May you achieve all that you want and need bro. Keep leading us all to new heights!
Happy birthday man!
50 inch vert!
If Bedouindunker is right, and it's your birthday, have an awesome day! Hope it's one to remember.
Let me quote from squidward:
"How many bitches have you nailed?"
OK, maybe that wasn't such a good idea...
