I wonder what entropy thinks about my form on these ones:

« on: September 11, 2013, 03:50:51 pm »By the way - I agree with entropy about gaining weight to gain squat numbers. I mean... I'd get to a 100 kg bodyweight at 6'0 with a 180 kg squat... but what would that do on the actual field? Each and every jump would be such a shock and such a destroyer of joints at that point... I would jump a few times and then need to go home. And as I have terrible cardio ability, carrying that weight with me and trying to move it around would be TERRIBLE.
So... it doesn't make any sense (in my position) to get there.
As for squatting - looking at my recent squats that I've filmed... they look really good IMO even as low bar squats. Mutombo should go with low bar IMO.
You don't look very lean though. You could probably be the same weight as you are right now with a way bigger squat.
Totally agree. But I eat a lot of sugars because that's what I grew up liking (that's what my mom always bought as a "reward" etc). Plus I'm terrible at cardio so... no kcal burning either.

Remember that video with Kobe squatting 400+chains?

If I try a RL (non-natural) jump with many steps in the run-up it gets really ugly, but off 1 or 2 steps as a run-up I get as high as off a LR plant.

Why don't you try some RL plants off two? If you're right handed you're going to need less thoracic extension and shoulder flexibility to "dunk" since you can get your arm behind you (unlike in a LR plant with the right hand up).
If you have a stronger right leg and you kick with your left, then a RL plant should actually be a more stable plant for you.

It's the hamstring off one leg... that's what I see. You're actually using your glute pretty well of one IMO, and you also have the correct armswing (I can't armswing like you are, I can't get both arms back like you do).
Off two maybe the most glaring thing is that you're VERY little lowering the center of gravity during your warmup. If you'd be able to improve on that, and start lowering better in preparation of the jump, you'd right now jump higher. It's like even in your penultimate step you're still pretty high, and then you're suddenly getting lower in your plant, which is very hard to control.
At least this is what I see.
