He makes the clippers with their worst record in the NBA, one of the more exciting teams to watch. The dunk on gallinari is dunk of the year. Give it to him now!

A little about myself, I have been playing ball for about the past 5 years, and it has just been in the past year that I have dedicated myself to training hard on a daily basis for it. I have also been interested in increasing my vertical jump and have trained that for the past 2 years roughly (im not too sure when i started), and i will give a shoutout to VJB and Vert Mastery as the two programs that I have found help me suceed in increasing my vertical.
nice, what kind of gains did you get on each program? curious? (edit: pretty much summarized it below).

I would average training for basketball close to 20hrs a week. Im very focussed and determined to be the best I can be, and im looking at trying out for one of the local rep teams when i fly back to perth (im currently in the goldcoast).
When it comes to basketball and vertical jump training and all aspects of the sport and jump training in general i try and engage myself in as much knowlege as possible. I have also decided that starting next year I will be going back to university (i already have a degree in human resources and management) to start a degree in health sciences, to get me on the way to becoming a dietitian and then sports and conditioning coach, as well as get my hands dirty in some personal training, as well as writing my own articles about athletic performance.
When you can have a positive impact in athlete's (or whoever) lives & help them reach their goals, it's a very rewarding field.

Now for the important thing my stats; Before i started vertical training i was barely grazing the rim once in 20 jumps off one foot jump. No where close off two feet. Currently: Height: 6'0 Weight: 178 pounds Bodyfat: Never Tested but well below 10% Standing Vertical: Roughly 28inches while recovering from ankle injuries. Currently on deload after finishing program will test end of week. Running Vertical (2 foot): Last test 34 Inches (during injury plus heavy training). Will test after deload Running Vert (1 foot): Last test 31 Inches. Test after deload. Squat: Currently 4reps of 130kg (286 Pounds) Deadlift: Currently 4reps of 160kg no straps (352 pounds) with straps roughly 4 reps 175kg Clean: 3reps 70kg
really nice stats, especially considering the ankle injuries.. what kind of injuries are they?
that's some serious progress from barely grazing rim originally, to now.. congrats.

BEST.DARQ.VID.EVER!@# Those dunks were fuckin RAW main, some were totally unexpected. Should have taped my reaction watching these, face was like I was watching a horror flick mixed in with eating the nastiest shit in the world. YUCK
hahahahahahahahah!@$!@$!@%!@%!@%!@ thanks alot man, that's possibly the best response to a video of mine, ever....
hahaha @!$!@$!
very much appreciated.. thanks to everyone on this forum too who is always supporting me.. gotta get that head on the damn rim, regardless, progress is being made, happy about it.. i mean, i did the dunks in those two videos 2 days AFTER squatting 225 x 25 half.. lol
bw = 154 soreness = 0 aches/injuries = lower back felt good wtf, nice fatigue = low diet = protein shake + 2 tspn coffee, dunks/jumps + protein shake, protein shake, cheeseburger + tons of green beans + broccoli stalks, protein shake + squatting, protein shake, PB burrito
workout #1: jumps/dunks - landed like 15+ dunks, 35 or so max jumps - court was slippery, had to go find a mop and clean up my court i was dunking on, after i cleaned it, it was alot better, but the outskirts were slippery.. i made sure my runup path was nice and grippy though, wet mop ftw.
workout #2: srs strenf. - squat: 45 @ 3 x 10, 135 @ 5, 185 @ 5, 225 @ 5, 245 @ 5, 265 @ 5, 275 @ 5, 285 @ 5, 255 @ 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, - hamstrings cramping on the lats 2 sets of 255 @ 5 x 10 - depth on everything was real good, 285 possibly was a little higher than the 275 etc.. regardless, got it all on video. - legs felt so strong it was ridiculous. - felt it in back slightly every time i unracked the weight, but it was fine after that.. not nearly as bad as it's been in the last few weeks though.
check these vids, they look like they are sped up imo.. my runup speed and movements look so fast, maybe im just out of it.
makes:
i actually like this video alot better than the makes, check some of these misses out, very rugged misses..
will upload squat video later tomorrow, can't deal with the vid editing process at the moment, had an annoying day with youtube, wasted alot of time.
want to dunk sunday, i'm in a bind for time though, can't leave my grandpa alone, might take him with me, LOL.
yeah, it looked kinda awkward my senior year, i had to do the mile one time and i was 195lbs...pretty lean i might add haha and i was running against kids 130-140lbs, i beat 1 of them and i ran a 5:45-5:50...at least the girls didnt beat me
nice

but yeah today i just worked out.
grappling last night was good and bad, i hate wrestlers and i hate grappling noobs cuz they get in 1 position and keep that position no matter what cuz they dont know what else to do.
but first 2 minute match- 30 seconds in he turned his back i got a rear naked choke another 20 seconds or so later we restarted....got him in a knee bar. last seconds of the round i got another choke
second 2 minute match- not a whole lot went on, he got offered a chance to wrestle with the olympic team back in the day so he just wrestled since he doesnt know jitsu, its hard doing stuff to dead weight pretty much
third 2 minute match- got the key lock in half guard, sweep into electric chair..tapped him out second submission, took his back...cowboy armbar last submission- wicked Gogoplata (normal gogoplata but move your free leg opposite side of opponents head, lock it in, u have gogoplata+armbar
