WTF? That looks really interesting!

And yeah, Sundays the courts are full in here too, not a good time to go dunk.

Since you've started going with the left hand up you extend better. I'd still love to see more rotation/hip extension into the jump though.

I remember him, I have no idea what he's doing though.

He also had a two handed windmill... or sort of...

I'd love to see him jump off one leg though, and in proper equipment after a proper warm-up.

Last jump looks like a one-leg dunk attempt. You owe me a one legged dunk if you get under 150. ;D

Well he trains on his own right now, not sure what his squat numbers are at the moment, but he sprained his ankle in an "uncovered" sewer end that was on the street from what I know. Remember, we live in a civilized country.

Glad it helped, it sure will be interesting what happens next.

as for me, when i unrack a bar, even at that depth, i use my hips pretty good, its not a knee driven movement when i unrack a bar, so that's probably something else that's important.. unracking it using a bit more hip focus, just in case.

That's very interesting. Could this unracking thing make you become more aware of the hips if that makes sense? (like the iso stim does)

Well you can only go as far as YOU can go...

Sorry what?

Meaning exactly that. You can only go as far as YOU (each individual) can go, depending on how strong you are. To get further away you need to get stronger, and that happens in time. Think about the distance traveled on the ab wheel as a weight in the squat.

...if you just stare at it and blur your eyes it's almost like he's fighting someone. Kinda funny.

Haha, you know the blurry eyes technique too?

I have a bunch of videos of him that I need to upload, but here are three dunks:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv1UTpBwU2U" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv1UTpBwU2U</a>

Unfortunately for him, he's not disciplined enough to lose weight (he's at 230-240 lbs at 6'0 right now) to actually dunk like crazy. He weighed about 205 in the videos.
