probably addin some more fuel to the fire, but here is my  :rant:

everytime i see box jumps done it's usually some trainer at the gym or one of my coaches

the look dangerous at the heights that ppl try to do it at

i really don't think it's better than just doing a standing jump

I see ppl all the time jumping them trying to show off

they hurt my knees for some reason, either landing wrong or something

box jumps generally are very easy on the knees, except if you wipeout, then they are very risky.. but in general, you're jumping up and ONTO a box, that's a very low force absorption when you land.

Introduce Yourself / Re: Hello from Serbia
« on: November 06, 2010, 04:54:28 pm »
Hey everyone im 17 and im from Serbia, im a volleyball player and im playing basketball as well, im training volleyball for 6 years and never had a good vertical leap. I was 85kgs, but from last year till now i lost 10 kgs, so im good now :) Im writing here because i want help about my vertical, i want to spike volleyball much stronger and more important i want to dunk, yes im a volleyball player but i love basketball more :) Im about 1.83-1.84 ( i will write in centimeters and kilograms because its easier to me, we dont use inches and pounds here in Serbia) So my stats are: my standing reach is 239cm, about 75 kg, im not very muscular, my jump with one foot is about 57 cm= 22inches (very poor), 2 feet volleyball jump is little bit lower, i calculated i would need about 30 cm more to dunk. I wasnt doing any jump programs except just train volleyball, my friends got much bigger vertical leap than me and they were training just like me...  I was so despirate and i started doing air alert 3, thats the first program i found, started it 5 weeks ago and i dont see any results yet, i just saw little improovement of my 2 feet jump, nothing much. And thats it i hope you will help me cause i saw you have a lot of expiriance.

welcome to the forum man.. ya it sounds like you need to get much stronger, in the weightroom, not doing some "stupid shit" like air alert :)

do you have access to a weight room ?

Basketball / Re: Did we all just get clamantfever'd?
« on: November 05, 2010, 04:52:52 am »
Yup , that jump , its insanely high , ~42'' or more , legit , word!

DAMN , i just checked his account, he removed all the old vids! That's a real loss to the dunking youtube community!!! :( :( :(

NOT kidding , those vids and comment battles were epic...


lmao tell me about it, i still have those vids too i just made them private lol but i can put them back up if you want. Just curious, who are you and wats ur youtube username? I wonder if you were one of the seemingly hundreds of ppl i used to talk shit to. By the way to everyone here I'm not here to start shit or anything, I know i did a lot of stupid shit when i was younger but i'm different now

Hey clamant,  :welcome:

You can see my youtube link at my singature down here , you know me , we comment each other's vids.

We never talked shit , i am not into that. In the beginning i supported you when everyone dissed you, then i was irritated from your arrogance but that was all. Anyway , thats history , its jsut that those comment fights with UH etc are "cult" , you need to bring the vids back :D

FWIW , I believe ure far different ,  its obvious , youre taking it easy , doing ur thing , not freaking out , you look much more chilled and your jumping and dunking is much more legit now.



Oh man tell me about it, I gotta find those comments now that you reminded me haha. My best comment battles were with adarqui himself tho lol oh man just ask him about it. But yeah thanks for the love yo, I'm definitely way more chilled, some dude posted a hate comment on my latest vid that was completely untrue, but i just left it whereas I used to reply furiously to like every hate comment. 

lol, ya that was funny.. i left a comment bout your dunks being layups, then you replied, then it just got out of hand for months because we both couldn't let each other get the last word.. eventually you won though, I literally could not get the last insult in and that's all i was trying to do bwahahahaha.. you are well trained in internet warfare.

:D

peace
