Basketball / Re: increasing range?

thanks all. i actually used to do a lot of single armed shooting in the past, funny thing is i think i still am more accurate mid ranged with one arm than two. will try these all out.

went to a random outdoor court today to put up some dunks on a rim that i think was 9'8. was wearing my runners, and it was kinda slippery, ended up having a bit of left knee soreness from that session.

i see, that sounds good then. i'll probably run no longer than a mile too. it was just the losing weight/muscle thing from the extra cardio that i was concerned with though, but i guess if i wanna run guess i'll have to stuff myself afterwards. also something related, when i was in the 12th grade, it was when i seriously started bulking up, started squatting and sometimes deadlifting, and went from weighing 110 the last year to 160. for gym class, we had to run the 1.5 mile, and i remember absolutely smashing my last year's PR that year. i think that bulking up and having the extra muscle helped even though 1.5 is more long distance.

damn 110 to 160 in 12th grade is either a late growth spurt or alot of needed eating!

i also remember having more stamina and energy, and definitely had a lot more power.

nice!

what happened to your vert too? it also go up?

pc!

it was both lol, i used to be a shrimp in my younger years, but started growing steadily from gr.9. i used a mass gainer too, was just dead set on gaining weight. at the end of gr.12, i think i peaked at around 175 lbs at around 5'10.

and yes, even though i ballooned up, my vert improved too. went from barely touching the rim in gr.11 to snapping it easily in gr.12.

hmm, been looking at your log and now am interested in sprinting too now, maybe even running.

cool!

just don't go 100% max with sprinting initially.. can really tax your hamstrings.

also with running, don't do crazy volume either to start with..

basically, start slow.. see if you like it. I imagine you'd love sprinting at least. I think it's my favorite activity right now among the 3.

edit: also, if you get into running.. perhaps the most important thing I can tell you is, make sure you have the right socks; non friction. I've had success with new balance non-friction socks. If you wear the wrong socks, you run the risk of wrecking your toes/toenails. (and obviously you want the right size shoes etc).

i see. and okay, also a good thing ive been hitting deadlifts and leg curls hard though. yea, the last time i did sprints was almost 2 years ago now, and i really enjoyed it then. sounds good for the running part. i was more into distance running in my early teens, so i guess i have some experience. i probably won't get too much into it though, cause i dont want it to affect my main goal of 40 inch vert/11 ft touch. currently am 6 ft 150 lbs and just kinda struggling to maintain that cause i dont have much of an appetite. probably when i get older though, have been missing the runner's high for quite a while now lol

lol my bad, unlisted again. i'll try to punch down a good 2 hander soon and have it on cam. i actually put down a good amount of dunks yesterday, put in a few 2 handers but couldn't punch it through.

i see. and yes, its my new favourite too. i just absolutely fly. from the angle i normally use, the top of the 3 point line, but a bit to the right i don't think i'm even close to putting down a 2 hander.

ok, i don't know why, but i fly off the baseline angle. i definitely think i prefer this angle over the straight on angle now.
