You seem pretty explosive, that's for sure. Although you don't get too fast of a approach you suddenly jump out of nowhere, that's pretty explosive.

Thanks.

I did 3 crunches and on the 3rd the lightning bolt stroke, so I guess that wasn't smart. However, I did a 135 kg (300 lbs) squat a few days ago and it didn't bother me at all. Weird stuff.

Also, ever since that lightning bolt stroke yesterday I actually feel better now.

That's still a lot of volume I guess.

Single leg dunk at 9'8 is not that bad... :P

As long as this doesn't change ^^^ you're on the good path.

But 405 for 15 sets? :ninja:

Thank you for your one-leg jumps, you should do that more often. Try getting the ball with both palms the next time, see what happens (I can't, I always have this tendency to "throw" my left arm downwards when I dunk, but you might not).

I was throwing down HUGE dunks yesterday after I had an argument with a retard while playing 3 on 3. Did standing vertical jump dunks as well which are pretty hard, even at the low rim.

So yeah, increased aggressiveness = increased neural drive = increased performance. It's like the CNS battery emits more voltage for your body. Level 7 baby!

You might move differently. Your last step might also lengthen as you will automatically (as you increase strength with that weight) search for more voluntary power and more ROM if you will.

If that's good or bad, I don't know. But as I've seen, you have a pretty short last step so it shouldn't be too bad in your particular situation.

I could come like that in my plant when I was 17-18 years old. No power, but I could use that speed. I was 67 kg in weight.

Here's a sample of my former speed, although it isn't my best by any means, at 0:09

I think in the one-leg jump it's harder to just "change" your approach speed and power since you're more likely to collapse at the knee if you do it.

Flip is at a point now that he won't gain too much from improving his approach. He was far away from this point in the past but improved I'd say dramatically (this is not a big word by any means - it's real) in the last week or so. You really need to "power" yourself in a two-leg jump. Obviously, you need great movement efficiency and strength to prevent your knees from collapsing if you do it though.

I could try the same thing Flip did and my knees would collapse and mess my jump up. :ibjumping:

So at this point, besides some better approach (a bit more speed under control if anything) - he's going to be limited by maximal strength. Increase that and Flip will dunk in games on the regular rim no problems.

Self diagnosed.

I guess I will go to a doc :-X these days though to sort it out.

He trains with you Lance? Damn.

Then he is definitely dedicated (I'm not ironic by the way). I mean, to actually train with a good trainer and putting in the work it already demonstrates the guy has a different mentality now.

Like I said, if he has a different mindset (and apparently he does) - then welcome. No need to be cocky about it. I actually didn't continue to read anymore once I saw that "finding excuses blah blah blah", I felt it doesn't worth it.
