str8silk I'm merely an average 5'8 hispanic guy and I can dunk on 11 foot rims. Almost anyone could dunk, you simply need to follow the right training program. I prefer the 1 that can be found at 50-inch-vertical(dot)com but just about any training program is good? if they work (which many do not)

Lebron James saying reporter is retarded!!

Buahahahahaha, the same ad is present EVEN HERE ^^^^

I think we could come will all kinds of ideas, but maybe the best thing you can do is to actually jump at a rim right now. Maybe lower rims. A rim that allows you to dunk two handed and work your way up to 10 feet.

Also, if you're so good at sprinting (as demonstrated by your sprint time for 100m) then it's maybe a matter of converting horizontal power into vertical displacement off one leg.

Interesting. You did plyos for the lower leg or strength (calf raises) work tychver?

i thought you did great considering how much lower you were jumping than normal.. regarding our convo on live chat, nightfly needs to warmup way better.. need to get in much more dunks 10-12 or so during the warmup part of contest it seems, and really move around alot more powerfully, no sluggish movements.. sometimes part of waking oneself up is simply "acting awake".. if you hunch over/walk around slow, it can have a pretty bad effect on how much force you can create.. gotta walk around boss and powerful even if you feel like shit..


AMEN! 100% agree. You need to be NASTY and WARM (your skin should burn of desire and "hunger"). The problem is - sometimes you just don't have it.

One thing I kind of do is to create a war in my body... like I literally voluntarily do that "fire" inside sometimes. You have to look at the rim and just think of all the work you put in to be there and think "hey, I deserve to be here, I have to break this fucking rim in half".

But, again, sometimes it doesn't work. The thing is to try this every time you do it so you can do it voluntarily from a point on.

angle of knee for me determines the squat..
0 -full
90 -half
135 - quarter.

FLANDER - u suck at taking a depth check pic.  :uhhhfacepalm:

its a quarter.. could be 1/3 but massive leg is creating illusion of more depth.

Well 0 is impossible. Your thigh would be in the same location as your tibia :P

Also, when you can't change the athlete's angle you change the running surface's angle. That will train acceleration and the digging phase better (start of the sprint).

Exactly, when I first saw that, I was like "hey that's pretty much a half squat". That's definitely lower than 1/4. 1/4 is barely moving at all.

If full is only breaking parallel, than that's 1/3 squat.
If full is atg, then that's 1/4 squat.

Decide on "full squat" first!

First than, and then then?

LOL, I watched over 500 games with VC... he's (was) the reason I watched the NBA in the first place. He's the only guy I genuinely care about in basketball.

I felt it was lower than quarter... 1/3 would fit to what I thought.

Any ideas why has your vert "suddenly" increased? Any particular reason or just good ol' plain consistency?

Blood, sweat, n' tears.

The beard gives you that little extra viking strength.





Hey thanks man, I always knew my beard had something special in it.
