Fine, but use proper grammar the next time. Your =/= you're. Your sweater is yellow =/= You're a troll. The " ' " takes place for the "a". So you're = you are. You're a troll = You are a troll. :rant:

Is being able to dunk the final stage in athletic development?

Kenny George was such a great athlete. He could dunk without jumping!

I remember Vince training with a NFL friend back in his prime athletic days. Also, Blake Griffin is kind of doing conditioning work but I haven't seen much explosive work from him.

Haha, I know, what I love with BSS is that I can overload the legs without necessarily overloading my back. I can also play with stance length to get different recruitment levels.

Think about it - doing BSS with 40 kg dumbbells (80 kg in total) is like doing bilateral squats with 160 kg in terms of leg stimulation. Now I realize it's more to that than just weight but still, it's just a great thing to do.

The back leg side still contributes significantly in the BSS AFAIK.

Might want to check out the EMG study mentioned here though:
http://billhartman.net/blog/2010/02/14/two-leg-squats-vs-modified-single-leg-squats/

Yeah it does, just by putting your leg out there you're taking out some of the weight off the working leg.

BTW guys, I'm the OP and it seems like I just needed some straight up glute exercises to reactivate them or something?

I did BSS on Saturday which got my glutes sore.  All of a sudden I started feeling it in my glutes during my dead lifts today, AND a LITTLE bit on my squats lol.  Like 4 of the 20 total reps I felt it.  I'll keep BSS as a supplementary exercise to keep my glutes active.

Thank you sir.

I'd personally go even further and make the BSS as the MAIN lift in one of my days. I just love it too much right now.

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

RTFL ( Read The Fucking Log )!!!  :pissed:


SLRVJs : max 28'' , repeatable

You should film them. What happens if you jump up with a ball you can palm (volleyball or basketball, whatever).

Right leg was very weak at pistols , everything else fine.

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

Know that kid since he's partially Dutch.
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.

Friend 'o mine:

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.
