entropy, you weren't around for the heyday of adarq's training, but he used to do HUGE volumes to train reactivity and tendon strength. like half tucks for sets of 100 and stuff like that. everyone has a ceiling for all their attributes, but few people are near their ceiling for any one attribute. so, you and i are slow dudes. but why would that mean we can't get faster? why would that mean our tendons can't get stronger under pressure? why would that mean we can improve our movement efficiency? we've both gotten stronger through lifting (and we've both regressed, too). but we've also both put too much emphasis on squatting at one point or other. for me, the point is to dunk. for you, it's to be better at basketball.

you love squatting, and so do i. even when it's depressing it's comforting. but it's time to switch up the grind, man.

interesting. i never think about ankle extension on anything but maybe donkey ankle bounces. way too in the weeds for me cue-wise. i still have to cue myself to stay low and build speed on each step during running jumps.

are you more aware of ankle extension on SL jumps than DL, in general?

left shoulder still buggin'...

Raptor?

thanks vag.

raptor, go to hell. 

left shoulder bothering me today a bit more than normal. no pain at rest but less pain-free ROM in external rotation. good to know.

you know you can really jump as a short guy when you can tomahawk with both hands off two feet after a dribble approach.
