ps: zgin, this shit is GREAT for vert.....
so he gained ~4 inches with that simple template kellyb gave you? thats good man
that's pretty insane man your aau team must be pretty sick
my friend that i work out with and who is on the vids with me got to 40 running at the end of the flying in four beginner and i think he might get like 44 or even 45 when we do the testting after the next week of this 5 week cycle we did
i'm not sure if that's what you were doing only looked like you might be doing that from the video, was i right??? If you try it now and initially stick you butt back but then go down and in btwn your knees basically instead of back does that help?
vert training not sure how it's going, this is the 5th week of the cycle, it's just a deload basically, my legs are pretty shot from the depth jumps, like if i try to jump now my lower legs just aren't producing force. i haven't seen any indication of more gain lately but hoping that once the fatigue goes away i'll be jumping higher
not dunking yet, not sure why i'm pretty sure i get high enough, my form kinda sucks ass and i keep on trying to take the ball and destroy the rim instead of just putting it in softly at first and getting used to the motion, we shall see at the end of this week
yea i was gonna post this up, the 42 inch vert was sick
looks too me also that you might actually be trying to sit too far back and so it's stopping you, initially you want to stick your but back but as your getting lower all you should be doing is actually your body should be going in between your kneesthanks nba, ill try to be more straight, as im sitting back so much, i feel like im falling. hows your vert progress doing? Dunks yet?
what i realized that actually limited my rom in the squat was that i was actually trying to keep pushing my but back and sitting further and further back and so what happened was i would have to lean so far forward to counteract the weight balance and it was almost impossible to get deep in the squat
you should squat back and down

10'8= dunking soon?
Well , because i started from ~24'' max runing vert 3 years ago , i had the chance to study well dunking as i progressed on trying to dunk lower rims. So from my observations on 9'8'' and 9'10'':
8'' above rim : about 1/10 1-handers, palming the ball. 2-handers = NO
9'' above rim : about 5/10 1-handers palming the ball. 5/10 2-handers , soft
10'' above rim : 10/10 1-handers , 10/10 2-handers , 5/10 off the backboard.
Above that you can start throwing down hard.
So 10'8'' + dunk = hmmmmm , i dont think so!
If i could repeat that 10'8'' on concrete (wich i seriousely doubt ) , then id sure dedicate a dunk session to get that damn 10' dunk. But i think im not there yet...
You could use improvement.
Your lower back is rounding and you're not even at parallel>Focus on sitting back, and keeping your pelvis 'fused' with the rest of your spine, staying tight.
Lower yourself slower too, if you're only doing bodyweight squats, you should be have full control of your body(even more so when you do loaded movements).
Start doing some back extensions, that should help with your weak link(round back).
Do some lunges and learn how to get your butt working for you, help with parallel, and keeping your pelvis aligned with your spine.
You look like you sit lots.
Use your ass and hams to get yourself up.
Get some meat on your bones as well
