Ive seen that pic long time ago and i thought it was fake!



Damn... 

Woman or man?

isnt the touch and reach method more accurate than counting frames?

Yes , my bad , i wasn't refering to the frames of the vid , by "1 frame after peak" i meant that the peak of the jump was before the rim touch.

Look at my 34'' PR video , its exactly that case , i am 11'' above rim at the peak of the jump but i touch the rim going down , the rim touch is ~2 inches lower.

Vertical jump testing/dunks session
Weight@session : ~191,5
Stim : 200mg caffeine + 1 redbull , good!
Awfully hot and humid , terrible conditions , even at 9:30pm that i had my session.

Warmup : 10' dynamic warmup , 2x10 MR tuck jumps , 2x30 line hops , and then some low/mid effort jumps.

JUMPS on 9'10'' ( 10' was taken again ):
-1x3 SVJs : 29 ( equals PR ).
-1x4 2-step DLRVJs : ~33+''
-1x4 full runup DLRVJs : ~33+''.
Very nice , got many clean 29'' SVJ and 33'' RVJ rim touches , some were 1 frame after peak so 33,5 to 34.

DUNKS on 9'8'':
4x5 dunk attemts.
Couldn't palm the ball today , DUH!
Still got some very nice dunks , jumps were great too.

Very happy with this session , because the heat really drains me.

Andrew , i found some objects that i can use for pinch grip strengthening.
Best one is my ski boots , they weigh ~12lbs together and griping them together has a variable grip width choice which is good.
So , what reps and sets and style should i try?
I was thinking something like 3x10 , 1 set of 10 reps each hand for 2'' 3'' and 4'' grip , lift them from the floor , hold 3 secs on top , put it down.
Also my couch arm width is 3'' and perfectly flat , of course i cant move it but how about griping it and trying to lift it as hard as i can although it wont move? For like 3x10sec each hand?

you can pretty much do anything really.. all you want to do though is make sure week after week your holds for time are improving, and you're able to rep things more or with a little bit more weight.. similar to regular strength training of course, but with grip, there are so many muscles & they recover so fast that it's best to just have fun with it and wing it every workout..

i bet this stuff helps you palm btw

peace

Ya i read it.
Im playing around right now... this thing is funny actually , trying to pinch grip various objects:
