So the point is i injured my left achilles tendon last month, and know im quite depresed couse all the research on the web says "lose in performance must be expected". So i'll never be able to dunk?

this is one of the reasons i don't check the injuries subforums, it really fucks with my mind.. just seek proper medical help, get surgery, rehab properly, and make your recovery.. who knows if you will be able to get back to 100%, if you're determined though you should be able to.

sucks man really wish you all the best in your recovery.

thanks for the support! surjery has already been made two weaks ago...

other topic i keep thinking about its what could have caused? maybe any kind of exercise i did? depth drops? even though i stop doind them two weeks before the injure

I always avoided increasing my leg strength during basketball season because I foolishly thought that it would be detrimental.
Last season was the first time I tried it, and I had some of the best gains of my life. I went from not even being able to dunk off two feet to being able to dunk a 2 handed tomahawk (ball cocked behind neck and touched it) about 3 months later.

Try it out for a few weeks and see how it goes.

how many times a week did you squated during that period? Did you take any suplements?
i was thinking on a mix of egg/whey protein, during workouts like adarq said, and small doses (4 5 grams) of creatine

Well practice would be about two hours lenght mon/wed/fri im not sure about when the games would be, they change depending if we're home or away (i asume it would be like last year wed if we are home sat if we are away)
Abour the option b for lifting days, sounds perfect but im not sure if i be able to do it couse practices start around 8 pm, so i would have to lift before practise or the days off practice.
So workout A and workout B would be during one week period?
I been already thinking about the protein shakes, these will help me to organize better my meals and stay lean. But problem is wich suplement should i pick and wich brand is trustable (i can get brands imported from us).

Thanks for the help

Saludos de Argentina!

the thing about the half squat, wich definitely looks better than the other two exercises, and its more kind to me couse i have done it before, is that you never know when is deep enough.
i though i was reach a plateau in my front squat thats why i start asking about other exercise, but today i did a new  120 kgs x 3 (going deeper than harry aa video) wich is not much but a big deal for me hehe so ill keep trying to improve there.

About that bodybuilder video, Dude! thats pretty descent for a guy of his size!

So i been focusing on increasing strenght with RDL and front squats for about six weeks. And now im planing to max out with a diferent exercise more specific for vertical, and that involves both chains.
I was thinking about the box squats joe de franco uses
Want to know some experienced opinion and advice. Is it a good exercise? would you guys recomend other one for wath im lookin?

P/D: forget about the bands that kind of stuff doesnt exist in Argentina
P/D: apologies for the english im from Argentina
