I'm the opposite. I find lob dunks lame, I only cosider a "real" dunk a dunk made off the dribble.

Nice Lance links towards learning the hang powerclean and hang powersnatch.
For me, regarding jumping with the ball, I jump HIGHER with the ball in hand off one leg but definitely lower with the ball in hand off two feet. One of the things I've found out, and Kelly hasn't mentioned, is the fact that with the ball in hand I tend to let the upperbody drop towards the ground quite a bit and basically throwing the center of gravity forward which compromises the jump.

« on: May 26, 2011, 10:49:30 am »i jump best also up to 3-5mins after a pick up game. sprints/submax jumps.. its all there and it gets your blood flowing better when you're chasing somebody. you can try to mimic the "game" attitude on your drills but that's not as easy or fun or as the real thing.
100% correct.

Just when I said your vert seemed to have stopped, you come in and do this. 
Getting that head closer and closer to the rim aren't "we"?
Any ideas why has your vert "suddenly" increased? Any particular reason or just good ol' plain consistency?

Why the -1 rating?

Well when I did my squat sets last friday I wasn't bounding or doing any plyos (it was raining so I couldn't) and yet 6 reps was a lot to deal with. It doesn't make sense for the bar to feel as heavy on the back either.
UNLESS MY INJURY IS NOT 100% recovered from. I don't know. Could the KB swings take so much out of me? Just 3 sets of 10 every day? I mean wtf?
Truth be told, it kinda feels that way, but still.
