We have around the same max vertical reach. I think that it's gonna take a year or so for me before I can start going to the gym to throw down lobs on 10. You think you're around that mark? I also wish I was a one foot jumper too lol.

Hmm, still getting a bit of pain in my left knee during jumping, my quadriceps tendon now too. I'm lucky though that its minor and the pain goes away when I'm done jumping. I guess the two foot jump just is more quad dominant, and there's not much i can do i guess. Especially the LR plant too, I mainly go for right handers and it seems like the most quad dominant jump.

258
Damn, was dunking today and started feeling some pain in my left knee, but this time below the patella. I'm just glad it's below the knee this time though, so its the patellar tendon that I'm feeling it in. Anyone have any tips? I just know now not to push through the pain, as that was what caused my chronic quadriceps tendonitis.

259
I see. Yea, thats the same for my left leg. Jumping off one foot while being quad dominant wrecked havoc on that tendon. Anyway, been doing a lot of dunking/jumping lately. Left hip getting sore, so thats a good sign. I'd take hip soreness over knee soreness any day now.

260
lol thanks leonel.

the knee pain is above the patella. left hip pain is lateral and it's more like background discomfort, i usually don't notice it. the thing that irks it most is hip circles, oddly.

Ah, I see. Doesn't seem to be much of a problem then. Yea, I suspect there is more quad recruitment in the right knee during the LR plant. Opposite for RL, which is why I think I got injured so easily when i tried to switch to one foot jumping from RL. I was already quad dominant in both legs, and the left leg was like completely quad dominant.

261
Lol. Just wondering btw, is your knee pain above or below the patella? Also, what have you been doing in your situation? It seems like theres no fix, cause if you get more hip dominant, you aggravate your left hip, and if you get more knee dominant, you aggravate your right knee. You think if you planted RL it would help too?

262
Oh I see. I'm guessing its probably the reverse in the RL plant, so that makes sense why it bothers my left knee. Guess I'm gonna keep working hard on being more hip dominant, and stay with my LR plant.

Edit: Also, is your right knee pain above or below the knee cap?

263
Nvm, I guess if it isn't broken, dont fix it. Gonna stay with LR. I wonder why planting RL affects the quadricep tendonitis on my left leg though. For LR though, my main problem though is I still seem to get higher off only like 2 steps.

264
Thinking about switching back to RL now too, and wonder if it'll have less pressure on my left knee. I played around with RL a bit too on 8'6, and it sort of seemed fine. I think that planting RL too is more hip dominant, so that'll be another plus.

265
Yep, I do a lot of sitting at the computer, so you'd guess I would have lower back pain, but I have none. The only thing that I wish I never had was chronic quadricep tendinosis of my left knee from one foot jumping. It still bothers me a bit, but I think it might just be scar tissue.

266
I see. Well, I've read a lot of people wanting to get rid of ATP, but guess it's beneficial to us lol

267
I see. I'm reading about anterior pelvic tilt right now though and it says to fix it, I have to strengthen my glutes and hamstrings, and stretch my quads and psoas, which is what I'm doing right now. Might not necesarily mean I have it though I guess.

268
When I finally do completely get of quad dominance though, I think I'd like to finally be able to switch to being a full one foot jumper. I definitely think you're right about proper one foot jumping being less hard on the knees. My friends that jump off one foot seemed to complain mostly about ankle and lower back pain, but never about knee pain.

I see. Well that's probably gonna take me more than a year I guess. I wish we had a vertec at my gym too though, 10'6 is just a rough estimate.

Are you still into dunking, but off one foot now? I'm also curious to see what height you need to be touching to be able to put down lobs. I think i'm touching around 10'6 right now, but doesn't feel like I'm even close to being able dunk a lob.
