ok who knows how high but very high obviously.. most awesome part about this peak pic, is that i have a ~6'-6'1 guy standing next to me to check how high my feet are on his hips.. worked out perfect.

dunked in between full court game, that shit really gets me jumping high for many reasons:
- warmup better
- more rest between dunks
- more people around to hype me up
- other people dunking in between games

etc

my peak jumps came once the final game was done, and i was allowed to really do my thing.. side angles are mostly 'warmups'



























lob 360 attempts:









final dunk, legs toast:






this kid could fly, he only did one dunk for the cam, missed it, prolly like 6'3 - maybe 6'4 dno, but very nice hops.. saw him dunking nasty before i brought cam out:









some other  dude:

Hey I don't know if you guys have tried this, but today i just set a 1.5 inch PR on SLRVJ with caffeine on an empty stomach.  No protein, just caffeine (and tyrosine).  I usually go with 200mg tablets, but i went on an empty stomach, so i cut my caffeine tablet in half.  I just have to say DAMN.  Definitely don't need as much caffeine on an empty stomach.  Feel Great  caffeine is still in the system lol.

awesome dude.. i mostly use it on empty stomach too.. i think the combo of being hungry AND amp'd is a great one.. that's why i'm for eating big the NIGHT BEFORE, so that glycogen stores are filled, yet eating very light day of (prior to dunking).. for example, here's how i did my thing today/last night:

last night: ate a ton, 7 bananas and all that stuff
today: wokeup, bunch of huge shits, protein/water-drink+2teaspoons of coffee + 12oz gatorade drink (packed with a scoop of gatorade)..... then a starbucks double espresso shot right before i went to the gym.. was very jittery/getting up real easy, felt great... oh and protein/gatorade-drink during the dunking.

starbucks double espresso shots are nice, first time having one of those, liked it.. was looking for a redline but they didnt have it so i just went with that, i think next time ill have two double-shots :F

Killer house @ 0:45.

ya man for sure

Killer beard @ 2:43. Just like the good Lord intended.

lol yes. i love my beard except for the food being stuck in it part, and drool when i sleep.

You should feel blessed having so many nice places to dunk at.

ya man, im anti religious but i am very fortunate to have all of these great courts nearby.. south florida is packed with basketball courts, it really is insane.. i imagine cali/ny are like that also.

If I was into dunkin'/or into basketball as much as you, living in the US, that house you dunkin' in front of, would sure be enough inspiration for me to try out for a D1/D2 team & train my butt off & try to achieve as much as I possibly could & get as high up the basketball ladder as I possibly could.

well i already graduated from college, i have no eligibility for sports.. i tried getting on BCC/FAU college teams, didn't happen.

other than that, basketball doesn't excite me at all anymore.

Doesn't it give you inspiration, or you not really bothered?. I sure respect your dedication.

appreciate it man..

What i was asking was if i high repped for a week would that improve my 1rm. Like i dont know if ill have the time after then but i have very little to do the next week.

go for it, short bouts of high frequency (short concentrated blocks) can definitely increase 1RM.. see how it effects you.

Was about to write: Adarq's just trollin' but then you posted

haha.. i hope people on here don't think i actually talk like that.. i mean i talk some slang naturally but it's not as bad as in the videos lmao.

Anyway, a lot of high jumpers at the facility i train in are actually around 140 lbs @ heights over 6"2'

ya, i'd def like to be 145 carb loaded, would feel alot better.. lowest i could probably get with my bodyfat % would be around 140.

im disappointed in the members of my forum who fail to see my epic trolljob.......................

HEH

on a serious note, 145 is as low as i'd want to get.

LMAO. I saw your tnation thread last night and am upto page 9. Legendary.

haha ya that's a cool thread.. thanks.. too bad they filtered my posts & some of my friends posts (who made a few ~midway through)

would a week of high rep squatting be beneficial or pointless?

in regards to what? i've been high repping for a week now, definitely helped boost my jumping.. but my CNS is bouncing up and down lately, it's bugging me.. dno what's up with it.. bouncing up and down way more than i'd like.

ill post last night's workout later, but it was heavy lifts really emphasizing speed, then backing off and hitting speed for some light sets.. 315 @ 3x10 and 225 @ 3x5.. pissed at how my speed was last night, didn't feeel good at all.

peace

pissed about second session of 365, my power was crazy, but during 3rd rep had to shit, so on 4th i just dropped it haha..

In that lion pic(tho I dun see where it is) adarq looked like he had alot of his forearm over.

So perhaps he got an elbow to rim jump?

well i was reaching up max, the ball was lobbed way too high..

elbow for me would be 44" RVJ.

ive been taking 4 tspn of instant coffee with my morning protein drink lately, definitely improves my focus/"twitchyness".. i hadn't been doing caffeine for like 1 month or so, and when i got back on, first time back on it hit me hard, felt real shitty.. but second session i was back to handling it well.

definitely aids in my focus throughout a session, i do get more tired following a session though when im on caffeine than when i'm not on.
