What happens if you jump off one leg? I mean, trying to dunk? You should film some attempts.

You tell me? I suck at right leg pistols - from form to strength to depth, to basically everything.

One of the biggest european prospects right now, not really known as a highflyer though.
Google his stat lines from his u20 games, they're off the charts.

Off the side of the backboard over a car? Pretty nice.
Saw him in Romania at the EDC (European Dunk Contest)... pretty nice, seemed kind of arrogant and all that but whatever.

If you suddenly lose mass, then yeah.

No they are not, it's the CNS that has adapted to fire the electrical impulses better.

Haha, for the first second or so in the video I was like "hm, wonder what kind of layup this guy will do". That is - if I were to ignore the video title.

If you fall into depression and go on the way of drugs, those drugs that create dependence, then it's out of your control at that point. You're going to LIVE for the drug itself. The only thing you will really care about is how to take your next dose.
Are you doing yourself a huge disservice getting your first dose? Yes. But from that point on you become another kind of person/animal and you can't really be held responsible since your whole physiology changes, behavior etc.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Sprint deceleration
« on: July 24, 2011, 05:56:41 am »
But do you see an actual use of this? Or just wasted time and effort? I feel it's great to teach you control over eccentric movements and that should be great for one-leg jumping. The more you're accustomed with controling yourself under high tension eccentrics the better you CAN be jumping off one leg.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Sprint deceleration
« on: July 23, 2011, 07:08:26 pm »
Quick question: what do you guys think about sprint deceleration as an actual exercise. I like it very much but every trainer I know swears against it. Not sure why.
I usually like to ACTIVELY decelerate after I finish my sprints. They will say you need to decelerate relaxed blah blah blah on a period of the same length your sprint had (so for 30m you will stop in 30m or maybe even more) and stuff like that.
Well I don't. I like to really load my quads during the deceleration and use it as an exercise in eccentric control and strength. I think it's just great for that. So I don't see why all the trainers are against it.
