12 lbs is good enough. You just need to go all out on these, try the paused throw from the bottom vs the reactive throw where you throw the ball straight up for 3 feet or so, catch it and immediately throw it overhead. See what's the difference between these two, might give you hints on your explosive vs. reactive ability.

That loaded bar looks monstrous.

Well if I take me as an example, when I used to do unracks it was just my entire core "shaking" and feeling this "twisting" thing going on... like my spine was totally unstable and under the possibility of a little twist. You don't need me to tell you how dangerous that is. But if that's not the case for you, then...

So what you're actually trying to say is "Get fat, play "ball" and be happy. You're going to be a superstar". I think I've heard this somewhere else before...

I'd definitely use a belt though in these kind of situations, way too much weight for the back's health.

my motto is, if you need a belt, you shouldn't be lifting it..

Mine's too, but you're not actually "lifting". No need for extra danger.

My approach speed increases at lower rims, because at higher rims I have the tendency to take an even longer last step and go slower so I have more time to apply force, but this is while using an one-leg jump. Not sure what kind of jumping you use.

But on lower rims I can go quicker since the rim is lower and my approach becomes better.

You mean, time

holy jesus wtf is that.

Don't know. Squat DR with a tan?
