Whaddup ya'll-

Found adarq on youtube.  I am 6' 1 1/2", white, and weigh about 212lbs right now (down from all time high of about 240lb back in my 300+lb bench days).  I'm about 11-12% body fat percentage right now shooting to get down to about 8 or 9 soon hopefully (dropping a few more pounds in the process- I already have a visible 6 pack so almost there).  I train mostly with kettlebells and do some pliometrics with jumpsoles.  I can grab rim now easy off a drop step (haven't tried standing vert yet) and have about a 7'11 1/2" reach with shoes on.  My goal is to be able to dunk on regulation again (used to be able in high school).  Theres a park down the street from me with a 9 1/2' hoop (great for practice) and the other side is about an inch short at 9' 11" (also good to work up from).  I'll be posting a video soon of dunk practice on my youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/AnthonyC5R  .  Stay tuned!

hey man! welcome to the forum. nice about the drop step vert, sounds like you will be throwing some down just on fat loss + jumping/kettlebells alone.

how'd you get into nail bending? I got a bunch of grip stuff, CoC's/ironmind bag of nails/thickbars/farmer's walks, used to mess around with that stuff.

peace man

23 July 2010

Vertical jump testing/dunks session
Weight@session : ~191,5
Stim : 200mg caffeine + 1 redbull , good!
Awfully hot and humid , terrible conditions , even at 9:30pm that i had my session.

Warmup : 10' dynamic warmup , 2x10 MR tuck jumps , 2x30 line hops , and then some low/mid effort jumps.

JUMPS on 9'10'' ( 10' was taken again ):
-1x3 SVJs : 29 ( equals PR ).
-1x4 2-step DLRVJs : ~33+''
-1x4 full runup DLRVJs : ~33+''.
Very nice , got many clean 29'' SVJ and 33'' RVJ rim touches , some were 1 frame after peak so 33,5 to 34.

DUNKS on 9'8'':
4x5 dunk attemts.
Couldn't palm the ball today , DUH!
Still got some very nice dunks , jumps were great too.

Very happy with this session , because the heat really drains me.

daaamn!!!!! good shit on SVJ.. a little confused about RVJ but i'll go with the heat effecting it.. that RVJ has to PR big soon, it just has to, considering your weight etc.

man fucking go nuts next RVJ session, maybe even jump at night if you can..

YO!!!!

Hey ! I'm Ofir AKA The Silencer, most of you probably know me as a dunker and basketball player.

beastly dunker.. and the only fireball dunk ive seen

I started my journey to a bigger vertical jump at 16, known as "Skywalker" on the J101 forums.
Through there I was contacted by Peter Mundy, who washed my eyes with Kelly Baggetts work, which exposed me to the world of sports enhancement

My life has changed dramatically since then.
I got in that crap deep since then, I am now 22, moved to Track from semi-pro basketball and doing quite well.
I have my PT certification and I am gaining experience in a lot of gyms and athlete clients, And i'm planning on moving to the states to to compete in NAIA/D2 track.

had no idea you are doing semi-pro now, that's sick..

I run 11.05 100M FAT, a 3.60 30m HT, and jump 43" vertical leap from 3 steps.
Currently 6'3" and 190lbs

I would like to run 10.60 by next year, and jump high enough to get my mouth to the rim.

what's your plan on trying to get to 10.6 by next year, considering you are playing semi pro now? any idea yet?

how beastly are your hamstrings?

Been lurking for a while but decided to register !
VERY nice website,hoping to learn a lot.
 good luck !

thanks man, very glad you reg'd!

Yep, that's where I train (Even though I have free memberships in 3 gyms)
BTW the floor is all twisted so in real life it's like a natural incline bench.. LOL

is that slow mo cam yours on your sprint analysis?

i prefer grimey ass backyard gyms than commercial ones too


peace man

nice man, keep getting that bf% down as well and you'll be flying

Thanks guys, lets see if it will transfer to vert...
Oh , 187 is a typo , its 188. All the other numbers are ok.
My top morning weight ( when bulking ) was ~198 , so i must set a limit , like 15lbs , so im not going under 183.

the limit depends on strength maintenance though, so if you could get to 160 and maintain strength i'd go for it, 45" RVJ. bwahah.

but ya I imagine 180 would be the absolute lowest you would get on this cut while maintaining strength.

template for now, but i know you'll probably want to do military press etc so just give me any feedback:

as far as sessions go:
- lower A = warmup, sprint, max effort jumps, plyo, lifts
- upper A = warmup, standing verts, tempo sprints for conditioning, lifts
- lower B =  warmup, sprint, max effort jumps, plyo, lifts
- upper B = warmup, standing verts, tempo sprints for conditioning, lifts

gimmie any feedback/concerns etc on the routine!

peace
