shit is boss, 6 packs for 99 cents

what are the name of those elite nike socks u got? they basketball specific?

hahaha, anyways, the missus's sis went on her grad trip around the US, got her to buy me some of those nike socks, i told her i wanted long ones, unfortunately they only come up to mid calf. 

mine only go up mid calf too, but, i wear high socks underneath, so, i can stretch them out and they'll stay up higher than mid calve.. if i didnt wear high socks underneath they'd go back down.

some good stills there bro, getting up nice and high.

can anyone recommend a good vid cam to get? my kodak playsport takes average footage

im not sure man, i forget vag's cam but maybe that one would be good, it's not crazy expensive.. all i know are the higher end cams, my zx3 (cheaper one, edit: same as yours) takes crappy footage.. i dont really ever want to use it hah.

check this thread tho:

Far out those two hand catch, one hand throw down dunks look awesome!

thanks alot man.. ya i love how those look, they look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than just catching one hand, for some reason.. i dont even know why i was doing those that day, i rarely ever do those.. i wasnt trying to either haha.

workout#1{dunking}, workout#2{dunking}, workout#3<-- none, rest

 

whoop.. i always jump better at night, but for one really important reason: it's not as damn hot.. 94+ degrees earlier today when i dunked, with crazy wind..... like 85 or so tonight with absolutely no wind...

man i landed some really hard dunks, curious to see the stills.

oh ya, i like how there's alot of people around too, give me something to take my mind off dunking temporarily and just relax a bit more, so i can focus better for each dunk.

blehhhhhh 94F outside + tons of wind ruining my lobs.. might try and dunk again tonight, that was annoying.

i missed that first video, sick ... that's a big jump.

thanks Andrew, i will see if i can post some videos of me jumping/doing squat. but i am young so i didn't start doing weighted-squat, so do body-weight squat count?

np.. sure bodyweight squat can count but, it's just going to show us some of your mobility issues more than anything.. which is still good to get feedback on.. if you don't want to do intense "weighted squatting", just incorporate dumbell squats.. use light db's and progress the weight every 2 weeks (2.5-5lb each dumbell increase), it would be better than simply bodyweight squatting and would prepare you better for eventually transitioning into barbell squatting.

steppin it up bro nice to see!

You think the depth drops are a good priming exercise for the day before?

thanks man, and ya, seems like it.. i mean, legs felt crazy bouncy day after the first session.. i bet ill fly today.. if you look at my depth JUMP graphs etc in the instant rfd part 1 article, i talk about using high volume dJ's to get that stim, but high volume dj's should work similar.. im liking them better since it's just the eccentric/iso... but ya my legs feel crazy right now, 70 in a row is a pretty significant stimulus.

Hey guys, so many people say that correct jump form is very important, and the correct squat form is important. but what are the correct forms for them? what is a correct jump form and a correct squat form???
also is the correct squat form necessary for body-weight squat?

well, i could post tons of videos to try and show you the various forms of squat/single+double leg jumps etc, but, it would be better if you posted your form on each exercise, then we could tell you what you'd need to improve specific to YOUR body/build etc..

jump/squat form depend alot on how you are built.. so for a jump vid, show the full runup & of course jump, for squat vid, you should show a good side angle which gets everything in the shot.

in the end it's always more beneficial to see your form and give you cues/aspects of it to fix, rather than showing you perfect form of jumpers/exercises and just saying 'do it like that'.. if you want to see perfect form, look at olympic level high jumpers/elite dunkers for single leg (& elite dunkers for double leg) - ie TFB/olympic athletes, for perfect deep/front squatting look at olympic weightlifters.
