i sadly have to admit this video got me back into training...

when i saw those water bucket box jumps/in place sprints, i was hooked.

thank you Tuck.

I would love to see Adarq next video with some water bucket!

i want to see scooby, hyperdunk and seifullaaaaaaah in a gym together for a group workout. who will make the first move toward following advice given to them on here and DOING AN ACTUAL EXERCISE?

i'll be taking bets.

seifullaah at 2:1
hyperdunk at 7:2
scooby at 12:1

Crap. I had just listened to kingfish and squatted 40 reps a day with 300lbs...
Hope thy didn't make u lose any bet...
-.-

 Guy is WHITE, wins dunk contest,

 marketing gurus approach said guy knowing that there will be tons of retards who think "SINCE THIS GUY IS WHITE HE MUST HAVE TRAINED HARD FOR HIS VERT."  

  They coax him into marketing a "program", and boom, they sell 100,000 copies before it peters out and people learn it wasnt magic after all.


Does this make more sense now?

Actually, is sort of sad to see what he is doing.. i look up his website.. and he is doing personal training or in group for his clients..  either in open court or in that facility of In-possible Training.. and it seems his target customer is high school boy and girl...
and no special program is available from what i c on the site.

imagine the kind of money if he made Nba... Jeremy Lin style...from no body to some body..

attached is a link from JackW reviewing the power jumper
http://www.verticaljumping.com/power_jumper.html

I was spending quite a bit of time in Jackwood website these day...
He had mentioned a few times how the Portable Power Jumper can improve vertical for him , and even for the program51 author...

the original one is here:

There is also a less expensive version for people with back injury...



Being not in the state.. i try to look for alternative for fun..
I did found some copy cat version of the less expensive waist attached version (notice the ankle connection)..

but since JackW suggested the complete system (rope on the back), I wonder if it is possible to DIY... by using those Foot work ankle warp  and additional power rubber band...

$5 USD


+
$10 USD


The main problem is, the ankle wrap might be easily slip up on the leg (what do u guys think?)... unless it is warped from bottom up around the sole..

Another problem is, I have to source  a rubber cable with the right length..

but the final or the first question is.... Is this equipment as worthy as jackw suggested... or another waste of $ & time product...

Recently Jacob Tucker joined Impossible Training team for coaching...

A few new things in this video...
but is it necessary to be strong like this? 

if t-dub is pure genetic... is this guy genetic + hard work? or 80% hard work 20% genetic....

120918 Approach jump practice, Upperbody circuit 3 round trip
Lunch:
Weather is getting better, less heat.
Lunch went to jump for the rim...I tested few jump approach
- Scooby approach - hop drop into a jump with arm wing, seems to have long contact time and max result...
- Boing Approach - Low center of gravity, with body leaning forward during run, seem to have less hop drop feeling since I am low to begin with
- VertFreak approach (described in utube )- Chest up, quick 2 steps with arm swing.

Took 3 video...seems almost the same... buy for sure felt different, honestly, i had not master any of this style...(not to mention they might be the same to begin with...)

Night:
Less than 30 min Upperbody circuit training, head home early to play with baby..
Baby start from learn to flip around, to crawling, to walking...
Scooby start vertical had not increased..(it seems to decreased by half a inch also...), i was 2-3 inch away from dunk in April....


3:30am at night:
Slept at 12:30 and I woke up at night and have problem getting back to sleep Don't know what happen, my calf muscle is really sore, rub some sport cream on it... and view some video on utube... Dunkfater, Teedub...Jokebox(or something like that).  Notice all their run up is super fast and smooth.  The last 2 step is fast I know, but I had just notice, not just the 2 steps, the arm swing the body, everything happen in the last 2 step is fast (Not just the leg/foot).  This remind me of that Canada Chinese dunker visit with me early march.  He do is a fast smooth jumper...  I am much slower...during the run up toward the jump...  May be this is the key? This should be the key!  How to get fast?  The only exercise came to my mind is the Fall in to 2 step approach foot work exercise.  But it did not involve any arm swing....

What I'm saying is that you should identify which muscles are lacking in your body and what flexibility issues you have, all while trying to increase your relative strength.

I should get back to deadlifting also...may be i look up how to setup a routine since squat and dead are too related...  
As for weakness, my leg is strong... relatively strong i mean... not strong enough to do 2.0-2.5 BW squat...and i know my calf is weak... that's about the only thing i know..  may be the rate of force, speed in a jump is what holding me back...
Do u happen to have any suggestion to enhance that ability?

P.S. Low Carb Food is working... I am now at 181lbs, was at 179lbs in the morning!!!
WAIT a MIN! at 179x2 = 358 and I can grind up a 356lbs squat!!!  2BW! CLOSE ENOUGH!
