I do the same thing, mine is due to lack of ankle ROM.

kellyb and I were talking on dbhammer forum a while ago, he thinks alot of these guys have dorsiflexion rom issues (such as golden child), which given their insane calfs/achilles is going to give them alot of bounce.

yeah those depth drops to jumps were weak as hell.

ya

But he's good at what he does and he makes $$$$$

ya of course.. says even more about him with the likes of athletes like GSP/thiago hehe.. those guys are very explosive.

yo kobe mentally beat barnes' ass that game

like if they were just playing a mental game kobe would have dominated him

barnes' anger and shit seemed real superficial and like he was trying to be cocky and stand up to kobe to look tough, etc

however, after watching  that game, i see more and more now how kobe is pretty much withering down.  His athletic ability is dropping fast, his age has really caught up with him, now it's just about him going to the post ups/fadeaways/experience to score/get things done

i don't remember jordan looking like that when he was kobe's age, only when he came back after retiring and started playing on the wizards.  Kobe's play now/athletic ability, etc kind of reminds me of jordan's when he went to the wizards

kobe's all banged up now too, i think the smartest thing they could possibly do is just give him like a few weeks or even a month's rest till he's healthy at or near 100%

ya, but i think age is relative in terms of kobe vs jordan.. kobe entered the league alot earlier.

when jordan started fading he went to post up/fade aways and just wrecked everyone.. he was wrecking everyone because of that damn J he had.

kobe's gonna have to do the same thing.

confused about the dorsi flexing when doing reactive movements, so basically you dorsiflex till the last moment and then plantar flex hard?

well you can dorsiflex alot sooner than 'last moment', but ya, prior to contact your are pointing your toes up, so once you hit, you get a more intense reflex contraction + more hip extension.

just saw brooklyn's finest, that movie was excellent.

camera work, acting, intensity, plot.

heard ghost writer was real nice too gonna see that tmw.

haha nice!

ya, LR + left hand goes better together.. especially since most people have some rotation going on.

i sucked at LR + left though..

nono i know, i want to get leaner THEN add a bit more muscle.

Word.

i can use weights im just trying to use only bodyweight..

Sorry to be obtuse, but, why? Just cause you want to? That would make sense, I'm just curious.

ya I just want too... I've put on mass with lifting of course, but I've never been able to put on any considerable lean mass using BW exercises, which bugs me, considering I have done so many pullups/pushups per workout with somewhat high frequency.

I need to play more with tempo/isos + frequency.

You should check out Jim Bathurst's website: http://beastskills.com/. Lots of tutorials on bodyweight strength exercises/gymnastics stuff. Jimmy can do all kinds of crazy stuff like clapping handstand pushups and one-armed pullups and deadlifting 500 pounds. And obviously gymnasts are all super jakt without using much in the way of weights.

ya beast skills is a pretty pimp site.

if i ever am able to do a side flag, the world will end

ya those guys practice all the time (high freq) plus put themselves through all kinds of movements isotonically/isometrically.
