Vertical jump testing / dunks session

Weight@session : 197

- 15' dynamic warmup + bunch of low/medium effort jumps.
- jumping on concrete , 9'10'' rim

2x4 SVJs : 28''
1x2 2 step lead in jumps : ~31+''
1x2 full runup jumps ~32+''

~5x4 dunk attempts.
Some good misses , few soft makes , 1 hard dunk.

Got a crazy jump on 1 miss , probably over 33'' , pics/vids soon!

ooooooooQ!!#@d@!!!!!!!!!!

But I mean their approach numbers were like 3-4 inches off from the standing numbers, for a lot of them. That's what I thought was interesting: they're supposed to all be super reactive and whatnot and a bunch of them just aren't, or weren't during that test.

ya well if you check the difference between max RVJ and SVJ, you'll see huge differences..

in someone who isn't as reactive, you'll see say: 35 SVJ, 38 1-step RVJ, 39 FULL RVJ

these guys are basically: 30 SVJ, 34 1-step RVJ, 39 FULL RVJ

i don't expect a 1-step to have a huge difference against SVJ, even for reactive people.. it will be more of course, but not necessarily huge, because it's the run up that is of importance in being reactive, ie, the more speed generated during the runup results in big differences between SVJ/RVJ, which would classify someone as reactive.. less reactive people can't handle these big run ups, in fact you'll see many of them have very weak runups consisting of speed that they could get in a 1-2 step jump, they basically just coast at a slower speed because larger speeds don't help them much at all.

peace !

And yeah, I'm an insider, haha.

u r teh insider.

Stir fry is looking good, did you like it? I would love to contribute some pics to this thread but my girlfriend is currently abroad and took the camera with her...

How is paleo diet so far? I am thinking about moving in that direction eating wise but I actually don't know if I have the cooking skills under my belt to actually like it 

ya the stir frys are great!!!! makes my body/mind feel fresh too, i'm eating very clean lately and I love it.. i'm not eating paleo, just very clean.. i drink milk/eat cheese etc ive pretty much cut out ALL processed foods though.

league games are at 2 different courts. at the one where i got my vid, that was the court with the higher rim.

best so far was abit of palm, only once tho, a few weeks ago.

yesterday, was at the court with the lower rim, think my best there, was all my fingers, though that was sometime back... seldom have games scheduled there.

but... i got almost the entire palm over! heh heh, i dunno what the actual vert is, but i think its abit of a pr.

still felt like i could maybe get higher, but i tried for a few more times, but couldnt get anythin done. my runup and gathering needs some work, i had the feeling i couldnt generate all my power into the jump properly. also, i couldnt really go vertically/vertically, i was always kinda reaching for the rim, not like the jumps u filmed, where u always seemed to plant perfectly and go straight up.

im confused but hopefully it was a PR !! hehe

last time you jumped there, only fingers over, this time whole palm.. i mean sounds like a PR, if it was, then im very happy! HEH!!

ya my plant is pretty efficient.. you just have to not think and do it, over and over, body will make it all reflexive.

peace, we'll do something similar as last week for this week again, looks like you responded well to it.

spike just reminded me......

when you were trolling that 15 year old, YOU WERE NOT LYING, LORD DARQMAN CAN GET HIS CHIN TO THE RIM, wtf was that kid on about ^^^^^^^^proof......



maybe that kid should know what rim your specifying......pffftt......punk ass teenagers....

ya exactly i meant 8' fisher price rims!

154 after workout..

went to park, did some jumps, walked to some other place, did some jumps, interval jogged to some church 3 miles away, did these jumps there.. 2 x 5 jumps pretty much.. interval jogged home.. cant really sprint koz im holding my backpack in my right hand as i run, to keep my cam from bouncing up and down and getting damaged. Came home, pullups/dips (12).


finished off nigth with:
- pmghr's x 12 (small rom)
- calf raises on block x 50
- squat iso....... currently in the process of iso'n..... argh!!!!!!      4 minutes, PR!!!!!! tough as hell






some interesting jumps from tonight (from 2 steps, in my track flats)...... found an 8'1"-8'2" hoop at a church, with some nice lighting, im in heaven

best one of them all i think:

ok uh i got some interesting/cool jumps from tonight............................... HEHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to be as active as I can man.
The new job takes so much out of me, (9.5 hours/day....sometimes 12 h) I try to go out there and ball every single time that I can though.
Some A-rank pro baller is expected to play around here in a couple of weeks. And I'm talking about guys who played-play in the top national league and in the national team. So I'm pretty excited about it.

Knee is doing fine. A little bit of discomfort from time to time. Nothing that I should be worried about too much, I think.
I got to do a CT and see a specialist on July the 2nd.

That's it.

awesome man im so glad your knee is doing well enough to play on etc.. seriously that relieves me i know how much you love balling/jumping.

Ps: I LoLed at your last post ahah!

lol me2, its actually ALOT more but i got lazy and didn't post it.. poor kid came onto one of my videos saying "your head gets nowhere over rim, you idiot" and I replied back "damn man i've just been messing with you this whole time, isn't it obvious".. he hasn't replied back.. poor jit.
