My story is similar, although I wanted to dunk before I finish high school and did it one week before I finished it.

In terms of your improvement, the compression was MUCH better when you made your dunks. You should, IMO, train with double leg bounds for length for a while. They will teach you to get deeper and compress and release better and consecutively. That will translate into better compression in your jumps after a while IMO.

There is so much more potential to jump higher right now if you'd get deeper in the plant and BE ABLE to get out of there quickly.

Thanks.

Great hip flexor flexibility and the side effect of hip hyperextension here:



I really need to get at this point ^^^

I had an English teacher in the College who was about 30... and my first day of English I didn't want to go because I kind of knew people won't show up, and I will waste my time, the teacher probably won't show up etc.

So I had an argument with my parents who were like "you need to go there" and I was like "no, I don't, nobody will show up" and I finally did go to the class... and there were just the students (some) and the teacher apparently, as I expected, didn't show up.

So I started swearing around, saying all kinds of stuff, "fuck I knew this was going to happen, what a waste of time, fuck fuck fuck (well not really these words, but similiar stuff in Romanian ) and I wasn't stopping, I was so pissed about me wasting time at 8AM at college instead of sleeping/watching porn/playing ball, you know, important things.

And as I was swearing again and again, there was this "girl" looking at me. And I was like "what does this bitch want?". I was really annoyed at that. And then she stops at some point and says "OK guys, time to start the lesson!".

Oh man... I mean WTF? So I got in the class and she started to call our names, to know us etc... I was like "oh man, now what?" hahahahaha

And as she finally reached my name, she was like "so you're studying English, right?". "But you did German before, in high school, right?" "Well you need to go to a German class, sorry (there was no German class available)".

And I was actually really sorry about it, I mean... it wasn't supposed to be like that, I wasn't trying to undermine her or anything, but it just happened like that. The problem was and is that I never really apologize, I don't like to apologize to nobody. I either do it on the spot or never do it afterwards.

I don't remember exactly if I stayed at that class (that day) or if I was thrown out but I was allowed the next time to participate and things went cool from that point on... and she was actually cool with stuff, it was interesting. In fact, she started swearing about English at some point (saying "this is fucking boring") or something. And she (yes, I'm not making this up) gave us some "sexual stuff" homework (!!!), I don't remember exactly what were you supposed to do but I remember her joking with a classmate about him and his girlfriend doing BDSM. I mean wtf?

I'll tell you another story tommorow about my latin teacher.

OMG, I'm reading this right now and I can't believe... we'll be praying for you and your family man!

Those were incredibly explosive.

Yeah I meant endurance, but strength is a factor as well. If your arms weigh a lesser percentage of your max strength then they are easier to keep up.

Wasn't that bad^^^

it's an example of a "functional" exercise that makes no physical sense. gravity points down.

Well most of the time boxers can't hold their arms up due to lack in strength in the shoulders in that exact position so that's the premise of that exercise. The other thing is overloading that movement with additional weight. I won't get into trying to say if that's good or not since I don't really care, but doesn't seem so pointless.

Aw com'on... two premises and an unknown conclusion. Want me to decipher that for you?
