I mean various version like...

should the ball be as closest to the rim as possible during the Bounce up phrase...so u just push/tips it over the rim and in

or

should the ball should be further away from the rim, so u catch it while going up.....

or

just give it to some one to toss it up as close to the rim as possible....

or

throw the ball down the court while running to the rim

or

Throw the ball up to the board.. and try to catch it as it bounce back down...

etc... of cause i am seeking the easiest beginner method...

It actually looks really good... you seem to have better hip extension right now. Why didn't you dunk it in the last attempt?

Because.. I had pretty much never jump with a ball.... not even a self lope pass...

I wonder... i had never seen video on people practice self loop Pass...

is there any tips or method to do so?

Cross linked from my journal:

Video attached from that static pic above.

The first jump start at 30 sec.
Sorry about the bad angle, the running approach is quite bad, the jump stop took so much energy away... but still I guess i am able to gather much of the gravity down force back up.
The last jump is the best.

Frustrated  for over 2 weeks with no improvement....
Decided to take it easy for this week training.
Suddenly, during the last lunch basket of the week.

BANG! Improvement arrived, even it's only a tiny bit of 0.5cm....

Low carb, high protein diet seems to be working also.

Words can't describe my feeling...



And the below suggestion from VAG is worth logging down on my journal!
Quote from: vag on October 04, 2013, 05:52:24 am
My 2 cents:

1) Max effort jumping ( and landing ) is extremely taxing, needs recovery, even more as those joints age and rust. You can't go max jumping every day and expect to be at peak.
2) 5-10 max jumps may be too little volume. You never know when you will 'catch' your best jump. You dont want to overdo it but neither underdo it.

(1),(2)=> Don't jump max every day. Do 1 day jumping and 1 day only bball stuff. No more than 3 max jumping days a week, i would go for 2. Now when you jump, do at least 20 jumps. Do a dynamic warmup, then do a jumping warmup ( 5-10 jumps starting with low effort and then building up ). Then do your max jumping in sets. Like sets of 3 or 4 jumps, rest 30 seconds to 1 minute between each jump, rest 3 to 5 minutes between sets. Do at least 20 max jumps. After you reached 20 jumps, stop either when your max jumps dropoff by 2-3 inches or at 30 jumps.

A 3d cent : Your training goes great currently. Strong, lean, good plan ( strength training + jumping ). Don't you dare change anything scooby, you have finally found a good balance. Maybe just cut the regular 1RM PR attempts. When you reach that grinding rep, STOP, the next failed one does not offer anything, on the contrary. Keep the PR/testign sessions to 1 session per month or something like that.

:lololol:

Nice! Especially compared to a few weeks ago!!!

As for the not jumping any higher, how often are you jumping?

I spent 45 min at the court shooting around doing b-ball drilll everyday during lunch hours on weekdays.

And I attempt run up max effort jump like 5 - 10 reps daily dealing those time...

I had a feeling I am not eating enough... or i am over trained.

Vert decreased and not at my peak ....
to make it worse.. my Peak is not even enough to dunk...

130930 Going to take this week off... I guess
Feeling over trained.
But Tuesday is a holiday.. I feel bad for not going to gym today (Monday)....
So I just went and did some light lift:

45lbs... Warm up squat
89lbs...2x6 Hang Clean
115lbs..1x6 HC
115lbs..1x3 HC
115lbs..1x10 Rom Dead
205lbs..3x8 Rom Dead

Incline sit-up with 25lbs.

131002 Upper circuit with 33lbs inclines situp
Took a long afternoon nap during holiday... but end up sleeping at 3:30 am at night.. how stupid can I be.  CNS will be busted with this kind of rest pattern... Anyway... I just go with the upper circuit today.



Result after 4 training sessions or so incline sit-up with weight.  Not too bad I suppose.
BW at 178lbs, the inaccurate BF Grip tester show 8.4% BF at 24.5BMI BW at 178lbs

however.. I am not jumping any higher....
May be I need to eat more so I can squat more like Kingfish..

366lbs @ 178lbs (2.05XBW) aren't enough...

I do feel over trained..

This week, squat strength did not go up at all... max vert had not improved also.  However, I discovered I can two hand touch rim, as well use reac over the rim with my left hand. (I use to be able to do a LR plant right hand reach only)

As suggested from my Taiwan training buddy, he said I can not expect improvement weekly.  Improvement come every 3-4 weeks, and I should be having a week off every 3-4 weeks.   I might be over trained.  So I am consider taking the next week off...

130909 Update from last week Doctor visit

Got an x-ray and the orthopedic  doctor said, my L5 on my lower spine is a little close, but not serious, so an MRI is not required.
He suggested me to go physio and do some exercise.

After the weekend on Monday I went to physio, and 10 yoga poses are suggested.
1 Lie on back, bend knee, Turn L and R
2 Lie on back, Hug leg, push knee toward chest
3 Lie on back, Push Hip to sky (hip thrust), Extend 1 leg up, than the other
4 Lie on back, one leg extend, other leg bend and rotate to the opposite side, arm on Bend leg side hold on to bed (Twist of lower back)
5 Child pose, Child Pose with hand extend to left, and right
6 Cat Pose
7 Table Top Balance Pose (arm and opposite leg extended)
8 Snake Pose

Did it in the clinic, and shock attacked seems to be gone for the rest of the day.

Did it again the next day, and shock attacked never came back.

Lunch basket Jump training with no pain, and I seems to be getting constantly on the high side. So it is good.

I now Put a Big Tin Can on my back while sitting in office.  Crossing my finger!

130906 Electric Shock like pain at the leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Electric SHOCK ATTACK on my left leg Knee up to thigh. Felt like some sort of nerve attack.  Starting last week, I have been experiencing some sudden electric Shock attack feeling on my left leg.  It comes with no warning... some time while sitting at the computer, some time during TV when I extend my leg on sofa.  It came all of the sudden, and it lasted for 2-3 sec only.  Unlike "charlie horse" which I can pin point the muscle and rub it... it felt like a cranked up Physio electric simulator machine with high current sending though my leg.  It used to attack me once a day or once every 2nd day only... but since yesterday, it has been shocking me much more.

3-4 times yesterday. And this morning 3 times already. 

I am worried, is this the end of my vertical training adventure started since 2006? 

I had already visit a General Doctor this morning, which he admit he have no idea what is going on. 
A refer letter is given to me for a visit to an orthopedic bone doctor who I will be visit in a few hours.

could it be the excessive Hang Clean I am doing? the continuous 1 rep max attempt in dead-lift & squat?
or the Skip Lunch & drink milk trying to lose weight get lean practice..
or the continuous bad sleeping pattern with me waking up at 3-4 am everyday for no reason...

I don know... I just know that i want to at least slam-dunk before I have to put an end to this long journey..


if any one have any experience or suggestion, please let me know.
