« on: June 30, 2018, 08:03:07 pm »^^ nice.
thx. haven't been active, but i've always been working on my jump whenever i can.
got in a bunch of jumps today, mainly off RL and 1 foot right leg. did a lot of practice with my left hand. hopefully can be able to be ambidextrous eventually.

gonna continue being completely hip/posterior chain dominant. don't think i'm gonna squat again for a long time. the most i'll do for quads is probably gonna be trap bar deadlifts.

Basketball / Re: Mid range sucks in pickup ball?
« on: December 12, 2017, 10:19:33 pm »haha yea.. seems like that is the case now esp. since the rise of the warriors. but kobe and MJ dominated with the mid range, right?
sure, although kobe is overrated so not sure he's the best case to point to. but the midrange is just inefficient. it's math: gains you no more points than a shot closer to the rim, at a significantly lower likelihood of going in. threes are worth 50% more so the lower percentage of success is easily justified.
i see. yea, seems like the houston rockets have completely caught on to that lol. i wonder what could be done in the NBA to give more value to the midrange game.
but for us average joes, even if we are just average joes, it seems like the mid range is even more useless. with our 3 point lines being 4 feet shorter, worth 100% more, and playing in a half court setting, it seems like it's best just to chuck away beyond the arc lol

Basketball / Mid range sucks in pickup ball?
« on: December 12, 2017, 09:06:43 pm »
Anyone else play pickup ball and find that mid range shots are really underpowered/undervalued? at my gym it's played mainly half court, and always 1's and 2's. the 3 point line is highschool regulation too, so at the top it overlaps with the semicircle that overlaps with the key. so the range isn't far at all, the average joe can probably consistently make shots from there. it'd be a different story though if my gym had the 3 point line at NCAA/NBA range though. but yea, when i play i see little incentive in taking mid range shots, cause if i go back a bit further i can get another point behind the 3 point line. would playing full court give more value to mid range shots though? also I know about scoring it by 2's and 3's, but nobody at the gym would be willing to do that lol.

got in around a dozen dunks on 9 ft off left leg. seems like my left leg is completely fine. can't believe i managed to injure my right knee the same way though.

« on: November 24, 2017, 08:30:50 pm »might be irrelevant, but how are you doing in terms of 1 foot jumping? seems like specifically 1 foot jumping fits in better with your distance running, rather than 2 foot jumping. just curious too because i'm gonna focus on my 1 foot too now lol
yo!!
Haven't been jumping at all :/
Last year, jumping wasn't too impacted with running, with ~30-50 miles a week. Just had to jumping ~3-5x/wk, ie in between runs, before runs, etc. Then if I took a day or two off, and focused simply on jumping, i'd jump pretty decent.
IIRC, I got my L-SLRVJ up to ~32-33" last year while running? I forget, but I did hit some serious jumps while not doing any lifting, running alot, and jumping alot.
So it's doable, especially if you are "built better for SLRVJ" for example.
peace!!
oh i see. yea that fit in well with your endurance training. dunno how to explain it, but does it ever feel like 1 foot jumping is another thing apart from 2 foot jumping? 2 foot seems so power/strength/muscle oriented sometimes whereas 1 foot is like more bouncy/leverage dominant/whatever you call it lol.
