Nice jumps man, absolutely flying on the first one
need to get higher.
Hey guys , just wandered. I done some lunges step up on a 6inch stairs with 2 5kg dumbbells in each hands. I try to use as little of my non-working leg to give me a little push up. What I do is I just use my non-working leg and push off the ground lightly and lift it up that it doesnt touch the ground. after I do that, I am in a lunge position with my legs slighlt below parallel. AFter that , I just keep my back as arched as I can by holding my breath and push up. The problem is, I really feel my lower back muscles being used( it feels like the really upper glutes section). The next day, My lower back were quite sore. And my glutes were not sore at all.
So my question is, If I would to do a certain compound exercises like lunges which targets the glutes, hams and quads, and thn I feel the stress on my lower back(with my back arched), what does this mean? Is my back the weak link or my leg muscles are just not strong enough that it uses the support of the lower back?
oen more question which relates to this. I did some travelling lunges a few days ago, and I feel my hams sore the next day. are my hams the weak link?
thanks guys
hey guys, you know they say that the power of the shot should come from your legs, and not the arms. But I see most nba players not using their legs while shooting. like look at this guy, I see the power comes from his hands but they are also coming from the legs, and i see all comment saying you gotta use more legs and jump when you shoot and so on. ( please ignore his shooting form):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqdYLPb4EUA
and also, they say your hands should be relaxed, take a look at steve nash shooting, it looks stiff when he holds his foollow through: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzQruMtrqQw
So what do you guys think about the legs porvidin power for shot and the shooting form of steve nash? I've heard steve nash has a good shooting form.
Thanks guys
one more thing, isn't larry birds shooting set point a little to high up on top of the head? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzyfhp67TEk

Dynamic warmup, a few 10 yard sprints
28.5" svj - ties pr
32.5" rvj
Played tennis then came back and did some more jumps. Still only got to 28.5, was really trying for 29... 29+ comin this week.
Kept doing pogos when I was jumping and during tennis, they felt really springy.

colon-enclosed emoticons ftw. annoying for any sentence ending in "..." to show up as a smiley face when what I want is the number eight and then a close paren.

adarq, for those AF sets, i've been doing it differently as u can see. total reps would be almost my max, but i cant do 1st set to AF, cos i know rep count for subsequent sets that follow would be bad, like for pullups, i bet it would be sth like mayb 10, 6, 4, 3...
is that a bad thing, my way of doing it? should i go for 3 sets of true AF?
2nd ME jump day, had abit of knee tendonitis, max was 2 attempts which just got rim.
weird thing was, i used to get the tendonitis in the left knee, now its the right.
say adarq, i know u said to ice it, but i cant do it immediately after workout, cos of no access to ice.
would it be alright if i get home and do it?
for this tendonitis thing, how does one alleviate it? i read somewhere that strengthening the muscles around would work, but i've been squatting and stuff, so :/
how do u guys ice ur knees? i iced my ankles when i sprained it in the past with towels and ice, made a wet mess.
thinking of getting one of those gel pack things...
what is that rack called? i need one like that, and i cannot pay alot..but that looks like it's cheap enough for me
