I think you need to be really really violent on the windmill and you'll make it.

Wow... that's so out of order in my books.

For me it was dunk a volleyball, then dunk a basketball (all off the dribble) then dunk in game which became kinda easy (in a half court game) at ten feet. It's all about how good of a grip the ball (and my skin) has. That's it.

But I'm a one-leg jumper.

If I try to do any "trick" dunk other than my usual one-leg one-hand dunk I jump 8 inches lower or so. I load TOTALLY different in my jumping leg than in my often-practiced dunk.

two nights ago:

i was in a strange, big apartment with a huge, double-wide chaise longue kind of thing in the main room made up as a bed. it was white or off-white. my gf and i were alone in the apartment and we fucked on the chaise longue. then she went to some other part of the apartment to take a shower or do whatever and i stayed lying down. an old coworker of mine came into the apartment. not an unattractive woman, nice big raptor/mobuto-friendly ass-to-waist ratio, but not someone i'd get with in real life (even if single). i was still naked but under the covers. she came over and talked to me for a while and it was clear that she wanted to have sex with me. i did not want to cheat on my gf but somehow in the dream i could not resist and i ended up fucking her in exactly the same sequence as i just had my gf. then she got up, got dressed, and left. while it was happening i was pretty sure my gf could hear, at least faintly, from the part of the apartment that she was in. after the coworker left my gf came back into the room and she was trying to play it cool but i knew she knew. she has a bad poker face and i could see that she was almost crying. i was very sheepish and tried to pull the covers up around myself to hide the fact that i was still naked, but i ended up just looking guilty. gf sat on a chair by the foot of the chaise longue and said, "how could you do that?" and i just babbled out some incoherent excuse. i was ashamed and confused as to why i'd done it. then i woke up.

never cheated on anyone in real life.

Meh... at least that girl listened to me in your dream.

Because they're nice to look at etc. But from a personal perspective (me doing them) ... I just don't care.

In the particular case of the SVJ I'd say it's just strictly technique. Like you haven't thought to try that yourself and you're hearing about it now.

Try it and see what happens.

In all the other situations it's a matter of strength.

good enough for me.

Cool, that's what's important. To me, that kind of dunk has no meaning.

On the SVJ try to really stretch UP with your arms extended overhead and then load and jump. You have a very small amplitude of movement the way you're doing it right now.

Plus I get the most glute soreness ever from dumbbell BSSs.

You can time your sprints yourself using a video camera at the finish in front of you... you can then multiply the number of frames in your sprint with the associated time per frame and get your result.

Well... the most I ever used was 40 kg dumbbells but could only do 5 reps because my hand would just unfold and drop the dumbbell... I even used 45 kg ones for 3 reps.

It's never been a leg strength issue for me with dumbbells. But I kinda like to use them because I also challenge my grip strength so...
