I got mad PRs on the track today. Am i allowed to say track even tho ive never been on one? Anyway! Medball throw goal with the 10kg ball was achieved today! Woohoo. I measured it at 16.65m. I also PR with the 6kg at.. weight for it .. my tape measure only goes up to 30.5m .. but just inside 30.9m  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Then did loads of broadjumps trying to get my goal of 8.5m and i came very very close, may even have got it a few times .. but ... my battery had died and i cant verify with video and i might be a few cm off. This was awesome cause i was stuck at around 8m all night before i finally made progress.

Finally .. i wanted to see if i cud dunk .. and i was jumping pretty much PR territory .. (unlike last time when i said this, today was a more true statement lol). Exciting stuff. So it seems these bounds do good things for my dunk .. i didnt really expect that but there you go. Promising signs!

Can we talk about how fortunate it is that GSW have not just one GOAT candidate scorer  but two. Klay Thompson, who quietly surpassed the previous mark for most made 3pts in a season, set by his own teammate last season. It makes me think there is something special about having 2 competitive players ON the same team eg mike and scottie and steph and klay, pushing them to hitherto unknown highs of performance. I wonder if on any other team, these two would be underachieving, relatively speaking because they would be the defacto best on their teams without having to worry about someone else  on the team outbesting them at something. But maybe i'm just speculating beyond reason .. heh

Measured and it was just over 7m .. lol. i wouldnt say over 7.5m . so yeah, so bad. my first goal is 8.5m .. because it corresponds to the painted markers on the field. 10m would be a huge improvement and idk what 12 yards is but it's probably dream territory giving my initial showing but we'll see, i will see where hard work and consistency gets me.

Tangentially, Todday interesting to read about your experience with changing the dunk hand so late in the game. Ive never done a dunk with my R hand before .. but ... since i am a RL plant jumper who has never got a game time dunk .. im tempted to explore dunking with my R hand! I can't palm the ball with my R hand. But never really tried to either and today I found I could work up to it by warming up to it by trying to palm my 6kg medball, then my bigger/slippier bball before attempting a normal grippier ball. Will work on my grip and try dunking with it on friday. 

Part of my brain thinks does R hand or L hand matter when you can dunk doublehand? isn't that eliminating any advantage or disadvantage gained or lost by using one hand over the other? But when i think about it, my double hand dunks are done kinda L hand dominant anyway and it's possible i can gain by doing them R hand dominant? Maybe that's worth exploring. Will report back tmr if you're interesting in reading about my experience with it.

Thank you T0dday and adarqui.  I meant what will the different bounds variations do for me .. not the (single) broad jump specifically .. but this seems to be the answer for the broad jump, "It's much easier to use your hips in the horizontal plane than vertical... Broad jumps will allow you to get used of this and then you can translate it to jumping up."

Does this apply to the SL bounds too -- cause aren't you more upright on those than the broad jumps .. what are they achieving in particular?

And you broadjump 10m in 3 reps .. that's pretty impressive. I have to start measuring distance for checking for improvement? Is that the case for the other bounds too:
Quote
Standing Broad Jump
Three Consecutive Broad Jumps
Five Single Leg Left Leg Bounds
Five Single Leg Right Leg Bounds
Five Alternating Leg Bounds

Distance not accounting for time. Thanks again!

^this sounds like what you are describing? In an article the author defines movement efficient as being able to do 20 reps in 10s. Sound reasonable?

Is this good info on broad jump? And can someone explain to me how getting better at these bounds variations will make me a better athlete?

Imagine if he hadn't sat the 4th! But that was an exciting finish to the reg season  :D

ya.. his stats are even more impressive considering how many 4th's he sat out.

Do you think his output benefits from knowing he has to play at an etherworldly level for 3 quarters not 4? Or would he perform better if given the chance to play more minutes. I read that MJ played 40 games at 40 mins in their 72-10 season .. curry played 4 (from memory).
