You can mess around with grease the groove pistol squat and king deadlifts.

Also, if it's convenient and you can carry something with you, you could get a kettlebell and do KB swings.

But the pistol squats (even box versions of them) - you can do them anywhere. Pushups and one-arm pushups - anywhere. Chinups - on any "bar"... crunches and planks... anywhere.

  One thing you guys are overlooking, which is a HUGE factor in kingfishs ankle dorsi flexion is he is purposely squatting on the front of his feet.  Even with weightlifting shoes on his heels come off the floor at times. This will drastically alter the perception of dorsi flexion in a normal squat with the weight on mid foot/heel.   Hes obviously adapted to this and his knees are fine, but trying to copy that aspect of his squat will hurt a lot athletes who are not Kingfish and do not have his proportions nor time spent  building strength in that movement pattern.

balls of the feet. if we have to land on them with forces coming from plyometrics.. 2-2.5BW in a slow controlled movement should be a lot easier to adapt to.

i concentrate on heel pushing on goodmornings.. never on the squats.



Thank you. I'm tired of this "push it through the heels" thing. I mean I know it's a good cue for beginners not to go with crazy knee overloads but everything that occurs athletically occurs at the balls of the feet.

If that should be replicated in the gym and if we should strive for pure specificity - I would say no. But if you're able to safely, then you should go for it.

I honestly don't know why everyone is so excited about this? You've got LBJ, one of the most athletic players in the league, blocking Tiago who is extremely UNathletic. Its not like he met him at the top of the box or anything. The only impressive part is how weak Tiago is...Lebron straight up stopped his dunk motion. He should have tried to put LBJ in the rim lol!

Cliffs: Lebron is strong, TS is not. My thoughts lol

This ^^^

Amazing!

So the half-deadlift would suck for you since you have beast hamstrings!

I was at the game, and perfectly in line to see the dunk at 0:30. I've followed ball for 20 years and hands down this was the most in-human looking dunk I've ever seen. Coming in sideways, and he totally had to duck to avoid serious injury. Can't even explain the energy in the gym after it. Kenyon Martin got up and started dancing, a dunking fool was in shock.

It's normal to plant and rotate around the stronger leg in a 2-leg jump in basketball. I would argue you plant first the leg that has the best hip control and strength, and that first leg will actively participate more than 50% in the actual jump, the second leg coming to stop horizontal momentum and help in the braking more (all this while the first leg continues to load up to generate power).

If you look at the best dunkers, as soon as they touch the ground with their 2nd leg they IMMEDIATELY start going up. So the 2nd leg doesn't really have time, nor position, to generate a lot of power. It's the 1st leg that is doing the vast majority of power generation.
