Andrew , with my current schedule i seem to always skip the DJs:
I leave my jumping session for 1 day before "next" weightlifting session so i get the most rest from the "last" session. But the jumping sessions are quite stressing for ankle/shins area so next day i skip the DJs.
I figured that its not a big deal because:
-Jumping max 2xweek is already covering most of the needed plyo work.
-Im doing that explosive workout too ( 8x2 explosive box squats ) almost every week.
-Gym supscription ends next week and then it closes for summer , so ill be off the weights for ~1month so ill have the chance and im already planning to engage more id Depth Jumps and Depth Drops that that month.
Doesn't really mater as i only have 2 more lower body workouts left , was just wandering if i was wrong and i should have gone ahead doing the DJs too...

Im using this as a reference test:
http://getyourwebsitehere.com/jswb/rttest01.html

I was geting 180 to 220 ms , best average ( 5 tries ) was 206.
Just tried it again after drinking a double espresso too , and i cant get average below 230.
Damn , what a waste , should have known better, never again a session in the sun...

-7 Days Vertical Jump Cure routine.

11 July 2010

Vertical jump testing/dunks session
Weight@session : ~194
Stim : Jacked up with caffeine , ~250mg + 1 redbull


JUMPS on 9'10'' :
-1x3 SVJs : ~28'
-1x2 dropstep DLRVJs : ~31''
-1x2 1-step DLRVJs : ~32''
-1x2 full runup DLRVJs : ~33''


JUMPS on 10':
1xdropstep : ~31''
1x2-steps DLRVJs : ~32,5''
1x2 full runup DLRVJs : ~33+''

So far , so good , RVJs at 10' rim were better, last time they were average 32,5'' and getting some 33'' ,  this time it was 33'' minimum , some were probably 33,5''

Dunk attempts on 10':
~4x4 : 0/16
Fail 1 : I thought it would be cool at 6pm but it was 34'C ( 93.2 F ) in the shadow , and i was jumping in the sun!
Fail 2 : Couldnt palm the damn ball! WTF, i bought it this Friday , i could do easily windmill motion palming it when i was trying it!  >:(
Ball was pretty popped though so i got some nice off the backboard misses , also tried some lobs but couldnt get them right! Oh well...

Dunk attempts on 9'8'':
Tried 4 reverse-2haners , landed 3 off them nice, all off 2 steps.
Also landed one really hard cuffed 1-hander.

Dunk attempts on 9'10'':
-0/2 1-hand dunks , couldnt palm the ball again.
-1 hard 2-hander off 2 steps , hardest 2-hander i ever threw down at that height.

Total : ~40 max effort jumps in the sun , didnt feel tired , performance didnt drop either but i decided to terminate session to avoid overdraining.
Not bad at all , 1 month ago id go crazy with this session but all my focus is landing 10' dunk now so im not happy with that session!

nice vid.. t-dub is my favorite power dunker, without a doubt.

Short rim, obviously. The promoters have every reason to let the dunkers do the most ridiculous shit possible. Ergo, a 9'6" or 9'8" rim.

i agree that the rims are low, 9'8 at lowest but probably around 9'10.. everyone gets way higher on those rims, and they look damn low.

but i have no doubt t-dub can hit his head on a legit 10' on his best jump... too much footage of him getting that high on so many rims. :)

Agreed , id go for 9'9'' to 9'10''
And i do agree T-Dub can get 51'' to get his head at rim consistently.
This one was just pushing it too much , and i hate the 10' label the rim has on it , its like its saying "please , believe me , im 10'... i may look lower but im telling you , im 10..."

4731
SVJ : 28'' to 28,5''
SLRVJ : 29'' to 30''
DLRVJ on rim : 32,5'' to 33''
DLRVJ on lobs : ~34''

Really SICK jumps and dunks !

vid didn't work so i edited:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now , after stating that i am an admirer of T-Dub and i think he's one of the best leapers alive , i cant help noticing this pic:




We've talked about those specific rims again.
He is 5'9'' so he needs 51'' to touch head at rim.
This looks like eyes to rim ( trying to normalise the distortion ) which is another 4-5'' and his body is leaning too.
So if this rim stands at 10' , this is a legit 55+'' jump

I don't wanna be the one who says it , im just posting the pic and the numbers... LOL

no i was asking abt the back foot haha. cos i had trouble balancing, when the rear foot was flat...
think if i ever start doin BSS again, i'll do it on the smith. mayb that'll help..

Ok , then my back foot is something very similar to that:


But i'd suggest that you place it however feels more comfortable, what matters is that it is elevated and you don't think about it at all , focus on your lift.
Hope that helps.

Thanks man , i will go for 286 next session ( monday ) , that would be ~1,5xBW Cheesy
Last year's PR was 110lbs , that's 150% increase so far, with all modesty it is damn impressive!

It is damn impressive! Good job man.

ya i remember when vag was using 10 lb db's or something on his bss..

great improvements man 110 to 286 in a year or so.. sick.

Thanks guys.
Last year's PR was 110 on smith machine.
This year i started with 18lbs dumbells , lol , so this year was 36--->275
I think that my improvement in BSS also had to do with glutes-oriented squatting that i focused this year, ive tried to do everything mentioned in this kellyb article :

In there it links to those 2 great vids:

ah... didnt notice vag had vids up haha.

oooh, so its alright to do them with the smith machine?
i tried BSS early in my training days, but i couldnt really balance properly when the weight was relatively heavy for me, so i stopped doing them, replacing them with squats.

About the front foot you asked earlier, its flat , no weight under it either , flat on the floor.
Smith machine helps exactly this balance part. Its pretty difficult to balance on 1 foot with a bar on your back , especially as it starts getting heavy. In the beginning you can try dumbells , balance is good with them. I stopped using dumbells when i started having grip problems , ~58lbs in each hand if i remember well...
