He says very deep depth usually requires hamstrings and back to relax. If they relax, it's bad. If they relax = squatter is unequipped.
In the case that they don't relax = squatter is well equipped. Squat deep.

but 90% is a bit unrealistic.

Not for me lol. I need to record this shit. I went 20 for 23 last week from college and nba 3 range.

Yeah? But where was the defense?
No D, just shooting around and stuff.

But no exaggeration, like twice a week I'll go 75% from 3 in a pick-up game. Sometimes my shot is just absolutely ridiculous. I've gotten a lot stronger lately and college 3's feel like deep 2's used to feel. I need to record some shooting to show people. In 2 weeks maybe though... got finals coming up. No time :(

At 1:18 and 1:35.
I'm pretty sure I got higher on the first one. Any measurements on my vert based on the hang time?
There's also slomo in this vid if that makes it easier. Camera records at 30fps, but I'm not sure what playback on youtube is like.

^^ Same with me. I have nobody to train with, except for one guy but he lives 30min away and is a weightlifter, not a jumper.

My cousin: 5'11, can barely get rim. Weighs like 165lbs. I KEEP TELLING HIM to squat, but nope, he wants to listen to his trainer and do "shoulder circuits that burn like hell" and bench press 5 inches off his chest.

My other cousin: he's fucking 6'2 @ 14 years old, and goes to a Division AA high school (highest basketball division in new york city). He's a freshman. I got him into squatting and he grabbed rim within a month. However, he's like 40min away from me and he can't go to the gym 3x a week because he needs to be driven there since its far. I want him to get on that basketball team, because if he can average 15ppg there he's going D-1 in college. But he just doesn't have the motivation to do this stuff... he has huge potential though.

My friend: He's fucking 6'5 shooting guard @ 16 years old, star player of his basketball team with a beast jumpshot (like flawless). Dunks 2 handed easily. Plenty of D-1 looks. But he's just a skinny shaggy haired white boy. I FINALLY got him into squatting, but he only does 1 set of 20 and once a week, about a foot above parallel. The other day he told me wall sits with help just as much, if not more, than heavy squats.

 :uhhhfacepalm:


If only I had a clone of myself.

I, for one, have never EVER been able to flex my calves.

WTF? Just stay on your toes :uhhhfacepalm:

I mean without doing that. I can leave my elbows bent at a certain point and still flex my biceps and/or triceps without extending or flexing at the elbow at all.

Try alternating your hip flexor stretches with glute bridges. At the same time, dont really stretch the hip flexors, just get into a similar position and contract ur glute. If you can get ur glute to contract, keep it flexed and slowly increase the stretch and see if u can keep it contracted.

You do realize that if you didnt arch your back so much and look up while you were in the air, you'd be less than an inch away from the rim?

spread out your're studying a lot. Pick a task like mentioned before and be specific. Study every two hours for 15 minutes, for a week straight. That will help MUCH more than cramming in 3 hours for a few days in a row.

Considering it takes hours for your body to digest the food and for you to "absorb" the protein anyway, the idea that you need 5-6 high protein meals a day is ridiculous.

Just about to say this. Many people reccommend a minimum of 1g protein per pound of bodyweight.

I weigh 200lbs. If the "limit" is 20g every two hours, I would have to eat 10 meals a day with 2 hours in between each. That's 20 hours from the first meal to the next. So, what, I get 4 hours of sleep?

Some people say the limit is 40g every two hours. I would have to eat 5 meals a day with 2 hours in between. That sounds about right, but keep in mind protein will dissolve at different rates depending on what kind of protein it is, how much food is in your stomache already, and what kinds of other foods are in your stomache.

So you squat just with your legs?


Umm... legs and lower back, and that's it for the most part. What did you think?

Gain 25 pounds then come back to us. Weight gain is even more important on benching.

This is exactly what I did, but clearly, you're missing the point. I've gained 25lbs since last summer. I'll post before/after pics if you really want to see. My squat increased by about 85lbs since then. But you're missing the point.

How does gaining weight give you better leverages in squatting? If it gives me better leverages, can I simulate the effect of better leverages during squatting while wearing ankle weights, a weight vest, and a weight belt?

No.

Will gaining weight make it easier for me to increase my squat over time?

Yes.

But that's a different discussion.
