I like how he's in a RL stance when he pulls the bar off the floor. He would be a great dunker, I think haha

I made a conscious effort to keep my head down... otherwise my tendency is to get tall and vertical immediately.
I just suck so much in terms of the acceleration phase... I'm the kind of guy that likes to stay tall and just paw the ground with straight legs so staying with the head down and "pushing" is not my cup of tea.
I might do some barefooted sprints soon, when and if I get healthy with my knee.

7'2 is terrible... seriously...
That's 2.18 meters... you need to jump 1m+ to dunk if you can't palm the ball (even if you will... your best bet is to dunk off a lob since you're going to jump less with the ball inhand off two if you're a bilateral jumper).
1m+ = 40 inches+

400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: Asafa Powell & Tyson Gay Fail Drug Tests

He still has a bent arm there, nowhere near full extension. If he were to fully extend his arm there and also dislocate his shoulder really well then he'd touch the top of the backboard.

« on: July 16, 2013, 01:01:55 pm »You convinced me. Did you do any tests to diagnose glute inhibition btw? kelly gives some in that article I linked.
Let's just say I used to feel a ton of pressure in the knees/quad overload whereas after doing them for a bit that regressed and I was jumping about 2 inches higher I think. Even off a SVJ I was getting higher.
But that is MY particular case of sucking in terms of glute recruitment off two feet.

I thought the error was the pronounciation of "FUK" was "Fuck".

Yeah I'm disgusted when I hear how "athletic" Dwight Coward is. He's so slow, he waits so much with the ball in hand, he isn't that strong either (he can barely push around people) and he DOESN'T RUN. He pretty much walks around.
To have that body and to mess around and be that lazy is crazy to me.

I was jumping the highest ever after incorporating hip thrusts every day for about 2 weeks (I got sick so couldn't continue). Especially off two feet. Who knows if you have the same glute inhibition off two like I do (it's bad in my case) so...
But the squat overloads the glute in the flexed position while the hip thrust overloads the glute in the extended/hyperextended position so... you get the best of both worlds.

I love basic power dunks.
