Cool. FWIW, here's a tutorial my man Jimmy put together about how to do it: http://beastskills.com/tutorials/tutorials/54


Yea thanks, somebody linked that to me a few weeks ago. That's actually when I decided I wanted to start working on it. You know that guy?

First time back doing a squat session.

135x5 185x5 205x5 205x5 205x5 215x5

Ankle felt pretty good, very little to no discomfort when squatting, after session I could feel it a little bit but nothing bad at all.

Squats were kinda tough but I don't think I have lost a ton of strength but definitely a decent amount. I think a lot of it will come back very quickly with each session.

nice.. ya man i knew you'd be able to push alot more weight than you thought you could, before discomfort set in..

if it feels a little weird tomorrow just ice it, but you're not letting it know it needs to REALLY get stronger, otherwise it'd feel shitty forever.. gotta slowly provide that stimulus for adaptation/strength.

I just got up a little bit ago and it feels fine, don't notice anything. I could have pushed more weight yesterday for sure but I wanted to make sure that very little discomfort I had wasn't going to make it worse the next day.

So now I will feel comfortable adding weight next time, will probably go with 225-235 4x5. I was thinking just two full days of rest since ankle feels fine and the weight wasn't really that tough.

nice, those are pretty sick, i can't even do a daggerflag.

lol I'll get some footage of my attempts when they get better and are worth looking at.

ya 2-3 days full rest for sure.

very nice that it didn't freak out at all, good sign!

Complex training.

Did he mean i should do all sets of ME (heavy weights) and than all sets of ballistic exercisese (jumps)
or should i do one set ME than on set jumps? (ME, jumps, ME, jumps,..) like a contrast training

this: "i should do all sets of ME (heavy weights) and than all sets of ballistic exercisese (jumps)", you just need to make sure your percentages (intensity) and rest periods are proper/optimal. Here's the structure of the complex variants:

I have invisible VMO on my right leg. It's visible when the leg is flexed, but when it's extended you can barely see it. So much vastus lateralis.

damn.. i'd say i'm mostly vmo, pic might not do it justice i dno, but my vmo definitely outshines my VL by a big margin..i'm the complete opposite of u.

hey man, welcome, you're one of the only people who has ever signed up, that has messaged me on youtube for advice/help.. props ;)


Hey guys, I'm a first time poster here just tellin a lil about myself.
My names Zander, I'm 16 years old 6'0" and have yet to start working on my vert. I failed to make my school team for the first time ever so I created a new goal. I want to dunk the ball with authority in game, and i know one way to achieve this is through strength training.

damn, sometimes it's good to get cut though, what if you come back next year as such a better athlete, dunking, much faster, better all around game, etc.. sometimes something like that just becomes the best fuel possible to get you on track.. sounds like you're about to embark on that.

I'm an alright natural jumper (My PR is hanging on the rim with one hand), but i need to definitely boost my jump. Once i start something i am not going to quit, so if anyone can help even in the slightest way it would b appreciated. Currentley i am a Junior in Highschool, playing recreational ball, and joining a gym in the next few weeks. I really want to get in that gym know what im doing, and show that coach who cut me who's boss. (Any input is appreciated)

Peace and Love, Zander

I will reply to your journal a little later tonight, we can definitely assist you with achieving your goals.. you're starting out great with rim grab with no training, so, improving that strength considerably by next year will result in some very impressive gains.

i'll reply later,

peace man!

only one set ME each day?
or are you doing 3 sets?

when i did this experiment, i just worked up to one max triple or max/near max single.. so ya, one set with a nice gradual workup.

Also did some flag "attempts", they were much better than they have been. Got lower body up much higher, can't hold for any amount of time though. Did some core exercises afterwards.
