Hello guys . I am a young boy from Romania.I am fourteen and i am fan of basketball.I play basketball but i have a problem. I can`t jump very much. I think that i jump 8 inch.I made bodybuilding one year and i have big muscle but i don`t have power.I want to know how should i do exercises to grow my muscle power. I want to tell me some workout info and to tell me from your exeperience
8 inch vertical, you sure you didn't mismeasure? HEH..
we're going to need to know alot more about you in order to help you, so check out that free-coaching thread, fill that out, and then we can help you better..
how did you measure this 8" vert? or is this a typo? maybe you meant 28?
took some pics to see how my depth changes during the 315's, currently rendering a vid, 14min33s video hah.. using damien's techniques for rendering misc-footage, renders much quicker, this render is going to take 1-1.5 hours versus 12 hours with after effects.
here's generally when the reps occured, this is actually before i unrack the bar:
That slow mo dunk was nice man..really nice extension on it...you were actually descending when you attempted the dunk which looked pretty dope...You're an inspiration man..you train hard and you get good results.
appreciate it very much man! hope i can continue to motiv8, gotta get higher!@$

I slacked a whole lot this week with my eating...gonna clean it up for the last few days before Christmas and just maintain over Christmas...Once i'm back in the New Year after this short recovery break i'm gonna be ready to kill it. I wanna catch up to where you are by the end of the year.
i stopped eating the chocolates lying around the house yesterday, can't wait until new years lol ;0 cleaned up diet alot yesterday/today, we'll see how long it lasts, but it's funny i was 153 (instead of 154-155) this morning after cleaning up diet for just one day and getting a bit more walking volume in.
It's great seeing you're getting much more consistent on your jumps. Dunk session was NICE, about a month ago you'd have one of those each session, now they're all sweet and powerfull.
thanks man!

I still feel that shit is quite monotomous though and I'd be bored after throwing down 5 of those in a row.
i'm not bored one bit

Cmonson, lean one in or throw in a bit of variation and you'll see that these basic dunks get easier too, that's what happened for me anyway, don't you want to throw in reverse pumps nd shit? (since you were hating on those people on your back to throw down 360s) All it takes is a bit of technique, a bit of practise and you'll be having even more fun ( I think, you's a weird cat though so I'm prob wrong lmao).
you're wrong CURRENTLY, if i'm jumping 45+ then i'll love doing btl's, windmills, reverses, 360's, etc.. but it's like trying to showoff to the chicks while driving a volkswagon beetle, i need a lambo

All I'm saying is vartiation; trying reverses and dunks from different angles etc, helped my standard dunks and it made things easier for dunking in games (which I still rarely do, just saying, I feel I can cause of the variation though).
Also, plz jump 4 top of ? next time
ya i got to do some of those jumps for top of square, i'd be 4-5" inches under it on a close to peak jump, i imagine.
I WANT an Adarqui squatflex ad. You know, saying how he did his first dunked after using squatflex (I'm sure you'll find a way to... use it). That'd be great.
would be funny, i've been planning on doing some spoofs
btw, high freq squat is pretty much JUST SQUATTING in terms of lifting, sprints/jumps/etc are used for the other aspects of training.. when high frequency squatting you just can't be expending too much energy on other exercises.. first week always sucks, 2nd week gets better.
i hate the filming, i can't even see the ground when they are in the air.. shit annoys me so much, takes away from the height of the jump imo.. tfb will probably have some better footage hopefully.. t-dub finishes so hard, love that style.
I think protein drink will be good for you, you can get it with milk as milk also has many proteins in itself. Also eggs are good for you. Try to eat fresh vegetables and fruits.
will check journals tmw, busy day.. i'm toast from tonight's workout too, can't wait to sleep HEH.
12/17/2010 bw = 155 soreness = calfs a little aches/injuries = left achilles very slightly, right ankle slightly, mid back feeling a bit better fatigue = moderate diet = protein shake, burger + green beans, half protein shake, workout #1A, half protein shake, workout #1B, protein shake, protein shake + a few bagel chips + cream cheese
workout #1A: superstrenf - 8 miles traveled in 1.5 hours exactly, 2:15AM to 3:45AM - light interval sprints mixed in (a ton) - ME MR halftucks slightly linear mixed in (a ton, never over 10 reps tonight, mostly 5 reppers and a few 10 reppers)
workout #1B: squat (4:15AM started warming up, 5:20AM done) - half squat: 45 @ 3x10, 135 @ 5, 185 @ 3, 235 @ 3, 255 @ 3, 275 @ 3, 295 x 3 315 x 9 or 10 (i lost count, failed on last rep onto pins) 255 x 15 (brutally hard, hamstrings just toast.. started this set at 5:15 so, 3 hour mark haha.. legs were so toast, hamstrings were screaming.
I think u should break out the homemade vertec 4 A good measure brahh
ya the only problem is, i only feel comfortable jumping off 2 steps max.. if i go from 3-4 steps, i can travel too far laterally and almost land on the base, freaks me out, adam from TVS tore an ankle ligament like that.. it's not like it's only specific to our home made vertec though, i'd have bad jumps on a real vertec too.
When did you get above 150lbs again? Damn, I wish my weight went up as fast as yours did.
ya as i get older it's easier for me to put on weight.. when i was < 24 i couldn't put on weight for shit unless I REALLY tried (stuffing my face all day).
