^awesome!   :highfive:

As for training , that's what we do , we build up and then we detrain for various reasons ( work/life )  , that's why we are stuck in low/mid 30's. Your plan sounds solid , go get it!

I just saw that dwarf pic and your latest video, you are lean , fuck fat loss,  you need to go back to squatting before you start losing strength!
Keep getting stronger and jumping often and you will dunk , it is just as simple as that :highfive:

Hey mike , you know i follow you and support you from the beginning!
As i told you in youtube , i think its 3-4'' off.
I remember you were 7'11'' like me , so 10'8'' = 33''. Give 1 inch for reach and 1 inch for getting a bit more than touching it , max 35'' if you ask me.
Think of it that way: if you were 37''/7'11'' you would be able to touch a 10'' rim 4'' below your wrist from SVJ.

I dont trust jumpmats and hangtimes etc , they give a good estimation but the only legit method is [highest touch - standing reach]

Btw , legit 33+ is still awesome for SVJ , your progress is amazing , keep it up!  :headbang:  :highfive:

You guys might want to stop posting dunks in the beast thread , there is a sticky thread for dunks:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/basketball/the-%27regular-people-dunking-thread%27/

No big deal , those dunks are beasty too , i just think its better for everyone if we post more organised , especially when there are dedicated sticky threads for a certain topic.

Lower body stretch routine.


28 March 2012

Bball game.
Fair endurance , awesome vert.
Legs felt very powerful, did only a couple of rim jumps , easy 10'7'' ( 32'' ) dropstep and a 10'3'' double handed rim grab  ( mid of 3d knuckle @ rim ) off 2 steps.

Form is good and i enjoy SLRVJs, i just get higher with DLRVJs , is quite as simple.

What you are refering to never happened , what really happened is this:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/progress-journals-experimental-routines/vag%27s-journal-age-vs-vertical/msg63563/#msg63563

Its was my best SLRVJ day ever , and a bad DLRVJ day , yet i jumped 32'' DLRVJ while SLRVJ was at 30''.
Even that day i missed all SLRVJ dunk attempts while i dunked off 2 feet , single and double handed.

Scroll that page up and see that 1 week before that i had 35'' DLRVJ:

Sorry to ruin your dream...  :'(

^You haven't seen any jumps actually , haven't had a ME jumps session for ~4months until last week.
Calves are big and strong , i hit them  twice per week , 3x15@90kg / 4x8@95kg with deep ROM.
SLRVJs: face it, i am a DL jumper. Even when i am cutting and get below 85kg and lean and hit some 30-31 SLRVJs , DLRVJ is at 34-35. Also SLRVJs cause a huge stress on my shins , can't afford frequently training them. I think we had that same chat again.

^ Probably not much. It seems that hamstrings and glutes are engaged and firing ok in all actions ( weight room and sports ).
P-chain is strong , i am able to do 8x253 RDLs when i struggle to go bellow parallel squat for 5x242.
I do have big and strong quads , but i think they are not masking glutes and hams ( that's what i have in mind as quad dominance ).

^I'd say that this year's strength block main feature was not half squats but full squats. My ME day's goal was to improve my 5RM full squat , halfs were supplementary all year long. I did PR on halfs with 352x3 but i stopped doing them next workout , to go with deeper ones ( barely above parallel )  , then i stopped those too and went to parallel box squats.
That's why im very interested to see what will happen this year , because all the other years the strength-training was half-squat-based.

^ That's what i remembered too but i just checked , it was you that said "He's probably at 20%" and he said "raptor is right , i should lose some fat". Another scooby riddle , did he confirm the number or just the need to cut? I think the latter.
Judging from the video he doesn't look 20 or 10 , id say 14 to 15.
