there wasnt any picture of the exact one, but it's structured like this, but you don't load it with plates.  It has a set amount of weights you pin.  I don't remember how much the weight goes up to, but if it's not within my 70-80% 1RM, should I bother with it, ASSUMING you recommend I DO squat with the machine for the 9 days?

Yea, thats one of the better made squat machines. Youre a single leg jumper, so you dont need to worry about how heavy the stack goes, do them unilaterally.  Do explosive sets of 5 each leg, and be sure to put youre feet high up on the platform.  That machine allows the hips to go back, unlike many of them, so it will have its uses. 

So I'll be doing sort of BSS's every other day, with single leg bounds on the alternate days yes?  This should be enough to maintain my squat AND dead lift numbers?

Just practice...

Also like Adarq said, it's slowwww.

Accelerate into your lay up and EXPLODE.  Practice your jumping with this too.  Why not improve your single leg jump as well?  Explode, and jump high on your lay up.  The way you're laying it up, it'll get Dwight Howard blocked all the time.

LOL is that Adarq doing a British accent?

You sound like all the people around me (I'm studying abroad in England remember) haha.  Pretty good job.

I think people tend to like how the programs tells you what to do everyday instead of just throw you a bunch of random drills.

That's what I need when it comes to ball handling lol.  Besides, just any random drills don't really work.  If I go to youtube and pick out the first 10 dribbling drills I see, who knows if I'll significantly improve.  I have no doubt Maroko and Allan make retarded claims in their videos and have no shame when it comes to scamming people, but that doesn't mean they don't know their basketball.  And to the rest, I KNOW I'm paying money for just essentially a schedule lol

actually with ball handling you can just fuck around with the ball and get a lot better. That's why niggas that don't ever do shit can have nice handles but no shot.

yeah i tried taylor allans program in june and in about 3 weeks it helped a lot but i stopped because im going through the month of a july on an all play period so i can actually where im at. I tried maroko's half of program back in january. it is decent but i just didnt like how it scheduled shit/how it was just a bunch of drills so i just did my own shit.

I know you can just fuck around and get handles, but as I explained, it doesn't work out too well for me. 
In Taylor Allen's Ball Handling Mastery, how often do you do it?  How many days a week usually and how long are each session?

try just freestyling for 3-5 minutes a day in a small secluded area.
4 days per week. if you really need it you can do 7 days a week by doing the stationary work erryday

D-Rose Jr... LOL I mean seriously bro, I specifically mentioned a million times I don't wanna just freestyle dribble workout.  And when I ask what the schedule is like, you tell me what I said I don't wanna do 3-4x already in the previous posts.  I have done ball handling work on my own before.  I just want to try a program.  So.. what's the schedule like?

That's what I need when it comes to ball handling lol.  Besides, just any random drills don't really work.  If I go to youtube and pick out the first 10 dribbling drills I see, who knows if I'll significantly improve.  I have no doubt Maroko and Allan make retarded claims in their videos and have no shame when it comes to scamming people, but that doesn't mean they don't know their basketball.  And to the rest, I KNOW I'm paying money for just essentially a schedule lol

So as a basketball player, I feel like my lack of handles is holding me back the most.  I mean, in a typical pick-up game at my universities rec center, I'm usually the 1st or 2nd best ball handler in the 5on5 game, but that's against average guys.  I want elite handles.  I have VERY good 1st step quickness which I blow by people with all the time, but I feel like it can go up another level if I had more handles.  I have a pretty good jump shot, good at finishing around the basket, I just want some yo-yo handles.  Now you tell me to stay consistent and work hard training for vert?  Easy, I'll do it as I currently am doing.  Want me to work on my jumpshot?  Easy, I can easily go to the gym and put up hundreds of shots a day.  Want me to work on my handles?  Not so easy.  I end up quitting after like 10-20 minutes and just shoot instead.  I have no structure unlike the other 2 things to train for.  I don't know what drills specifically to do that'll carryover the best for me.  

I was going to buy Effective-Ball Handling, (I know, Moroko = bad) and I know I'm basically just paying for a schedule, but I don't care.  I need a structured workout laid out for me when it comes to this.  BUT, it seems like he's not selling it anymore???

Do you guys know if Taylor Allan's (I know..) Ball Handling Mastery program is any good?

Are there any other ball handling products out there?  

Adarq and Lance, do you guys promote bare-foot training, specifically for athleticism/vert improvement?


Here in my dorm room, I like to do some stationary jumping exercises.  I do SVJ's, single leg tuck jumps, and pogos.  All bare-foot.
A new goal of mine, before I go back home from here in England, is to hit my head on the ceiling off a SVJ, bare-foot, which would be 30".  I'm like ~2 inches off.  I can see shoes adding inches in RVJ, but do they do the same in SVJ as well?  Like if I am able to hit my head and get that bare-foot 30", would that mean 31-32 inches in my Kobe 6's?  (potential to be a stupid/obvious question)

Also, on my pogo's I'm receiving a lot of shock on my shins on each landing.  What's the deal with this?
