The first dunk looked really clean :highfive:

brb sprinting bilaterally.

That's why for me - jumping off two has never been natural. When you walk/run you don't bounce on two feet. Jumping is just an exaggerated, longer "step" on one leg to me. And we're built to move unilaterally.

You should sing some Survivor or Journey songs!

Eye of the tiger = WIN. I will try but I'm not sure how it goes.

No ^^ not blatantly, but a weak posterior chain will still negatively affect short sprints just like will a jump. 


 Whats happening with the 40yd dash times is guys are getting coached to run the race.  The start itself can make the difference in tenths of a second, add in learning to use the valsalva maneuver and correct early acceleration mechanics and you can have a less gifted athlete smoke a more highly gifted one in that event.  The vertical jump is not coached as in depth by MOST coaches, and even then, improvements arent going to be as drastic as they will with the 40. 

Anyone interested in a better 40yd dash time should read Joe Defrancos book "The 40YD Dash" , its one of the best resources you will ever find for this event.

Yeah but still,

The top verters are nowhere in the 40 & vice-versa. Not one top 15 verter makes the top 15 of the 40, not one top 15 40dash makes the top 15 of the vert.

It doesn't make any sense for this to happen.

What if he was armed? Oh wait, he was armed alright!

You think that 40 yards are enough for that difference to become obvious?

What's this "spine" thing you're talking about?

5261
In the SVJ, try to extend a lot on spot (you actually BEND and then bend some more to jump) - so try to extend on your toes, then quickly bend quite a bit and jump. You will jump higher.

In your running VJ you should use your arms WAY better, I mean, you can do that right now but you need to emphasize the arm swing quite a bit at this point in time.

Also, choose some lighter shoes if possible, these look huge/unresponsive.

I think it looks a bit better but you still don't compress well and keep a pretty high center of gravity. But then again, at your strength levels...

If Louie put 1000lbs on a average player's squat in the off-season, they ain't coming back no Kobe.

Well no, they wouldn't, because it takes skill to be Kobe. It depends on what you're talking about: athleticism or basketball skill. Different things, although related.

Also, regardless of how strong you make a guy, he's still going to have the same structure, limb lenghts, tendons, so on and so forth, but strength is an alterable quality and helps with athleticism.

So you have to bear that in mind.

Well I had 4 frames of GCT at 25 fps so 4x0.04 = 0.16s, but it's not like I used a super slow-mo to determine my exact GCT. :D
