Vid that should make clear my issues with in-game jumping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsaOM5XBRxA . Well of course this isn't in-game and it also isn't a real spike approach, but it feels the same as an approach jump for me and i think it also looks like one.. I don't have any vball training until august or so, so this is the only footage I have..

i'd be interested in seeing what spikejon or adam thought, but you're definitely planting your feet so close together that your knees are basically knocking.. i mean in a jump like this, which is a much less aggressive runup than your other videos, your raw explosive strength is going to be much more of a factor, so getting SVJ/drop step SVJ up significantly will make all the difference.

peace man

Haha yeah, but I don't want this kind of approach in game, I want the approach I use without ball while spiking!

ya i know .. heh!

ya i loved chapelle, big fan, some of his best stuff was even on late night talk shows where he'd come in and just talk/do the interview.. he has some epic standup routines.

interesting how he just disappeared and pulled a ricky williams..

half baked was one of the best movies ever too.

"all my best friends were black", every comedian jokes about whites saying that in the face of a racist remark, but it's true, they do.

And, though it pains me to link to an article of Gladwell's because I think he's complete shit as a writer:

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/10/19/091019fa_fact_gladwell

thanks man those are some nice articles, not done with the second link but so far it's very interesting.. Just finished the kyle turley part, that guy is nuts regardless but with CTE he'll be on psycho level.

futbol (headers)/nfl/boxing is some risky shit.

This is a gem of a thread.

Thanks man, hope it provided some nice info, his list of methods laid out like that is my favorite & there's tons of gems in there from the notes of his pdf's, he's got many more out there. My supertraining notes I took from way back are on index card unfortunately, but I'd rather buy his republished Supertraining 6th Edition and re-take my notes on that. When I do I'll re-mod the OP and bump. I just realized I can order it with paypal so I might order it real soon.

weight: 157

soreness: right quad bigtime
aches: knees a bit

wanted to dunk today but right quad was toast.. would have really wrecked it up.

workout:
- single leg squats off bench (off leg behind me) : 5 x 10e, 3 x 20e, 3 x 40e, ...
- standing hip flexor holds: 3 x ~60s each, these felt great except they bugged my ham tendon out a bit
- pushups + lockout hold to failure + dip hold to failure: ~4x
- rope pullup: 4 (stopped because this nasty dust was flying out of the rope as i pulled up getting in my eyes wtf)
- finished with a bunch of weird horizontal pullup things
- natural ghr: spent ~15-20 minutes straight on it.. trying to hold position until i died, then doing reps but catching myself on the ground with a pvc pipe to support me, relax for 15 seconds or so, repeat.. just kept doing that.. my hams/glutes were shaking

done!

peace
