just saw ur vid...
damn, imagine if u lose those fats!!!

Thanks man
Well , losing fat at 36 years old is not that easy , i already have an ultra-clean diet , metabolism changed aging.
When i overeat i make a lot of fat together with the wanted muscle.
And when i undereat i lose a lot of muscle together with the wanted fat.
But i can get to ~14% maintaining or even improving current strength.
I also have a lot of water that i can get rid of.
Doing those 2 things would make me 12 to 15lbs lighter with the same strength , huge difference.

Yes , that's the way, dunking in the rain FTW.
I should post a dunk from that last session i did , its right when the heavy rain starts , you can see the floor changing colour , even a few rain drops fall on the lens! :D

HOLY SHIT!!!
Id say thats 4'' below wrist! So 12''  over rim , 11' touch ??  :o  ;D  :o  ;D  :o  ;D

well i'll go with 3" down, i really don't know how to interpret these weird angles from my mini-tripod HEHE!!!!!! i mean i know for a fact on my first real warmup jump before dunking, i hit that .5-1" down my wrist or whatever off 3 step lead, so ya maybe it was 35? i got no idea, the angle kills me.. haha.. im uploading a vid soon of it so you can judge.. the dunk i didn't slow mo you can see some real nice float in it.

i dno lemme upload vid, hah, i can't fig out this mini-tripod shit like i can with my large tripod :F

ya man i put some rain footage at the end of the vid, i dno if you can see it while im dunking, very bright light in the vid shields it a bit.

im happy regardless :)

Watched the video , i insist its 4'' below wrist , given the hand angle.
My vertec-eye says 35'' :D

ok so the rain pissed me off, but then at 9:05pm or so, i went to the court, because the storm was overhead but still hadn't rained yet.. it was brewing for like 1 hour!

- i pulled a vag dunk session (dunking in drizzling weather) lol.. it was drizzling lightly but i just had to dunk, i was flying.. finally after 8th one it started pouring so..

lmao i know what a 1step vert is.  i was asking if your 1 step vert is as high as ur rvj. :D

LMAO...
Yes , they are almost the same.
SVJ = ~27,5''
1-step = ~32''
2-step = ~32,5''
3-step = ~33''

I am not very reactive , i always felt better doing "strength-jumps" , and coming out of a 12 week strength training cycle doesnt really help reactivity, neither do my 200lbs and my 18%bodyfat ! :D
That would also answer your question earlier this week , why im stoping strength training/bulking while im PRing ;)

Damn Vag. You weren't lieing when you said you were gonna go on a bit of a bulking cycle.  ;D  200 lbs ain't playing around. lol 

Good to see things working out well for you. Keep it up! 

Thanks Kelly , good timing , i was just about to mail you with my progress update now that bulking ended! :D
Yes , bulking went great. In upper body i implemented the 15 rep backoff that you suggested , it worked very well , pumped me up.
I hope power transition goes the same good...
