Nightfly should try it...

I think that was the missing link for finally nailing the between the legs off two feet.

I've spent the last two days analyzing and comparing the differences in technique/plant/speed/arm swing between him and me :D

Filmed by me a year ago, but I believe it just deserves a thread on it's own:

That wasn't sarcastic by me, I was actually confirming something.

Yes and he probably hit in the middle of the square, like 12 inches lower because of the angle.

P.S.:How do you, being yourself a bonafide ankle-breaker, like my handles? :P

handles were tight, you ever going to get some game footage? :P

peace

maybe one day, so you all can "experience" the most awkward shooting mechanics in the world ahah!

@nightfly: thx again man :)

You can't possibly beat me at shooting awkwardess

It's silly to try and touch the backboard... your hand will be leaning forward so it will be much lower than a full extension upwards...

If you want to measure something try a vertec.

Yeah but it's so boring and depressing... I can't really stand to do all this while watching others do real training...whatever

Hey thanks Enzo. My thinking process is to pretty much rest now in the Autumn since there will be raining etc outside... so basically I need to rest as part as my training process if you will (and if I will :P). I'm training with pretty much no rest at all (consistently) for like 1 year+, maybe it's time to give the body some due respect and let it recover. I could still do core work and maybe some kind of one-leg RDL... pure hip extension, low volumes, just for the sake of it. And upperbody work, bodyweight work (pushups, pullups etc).

Then if I get healthy, and if my injury is overuse-related (it would appear so) - then I might get healthy again. I'm also thinking of switching to low bar squats and I plan on getting into that using box squats first to learn to sit back more...

I have an amalgam of things in my head... I even plan to write an article about the "perfect plan" (yes, pretentious words here) with a thorough analysis of whatever a "perfect" plan should contain from all the standpoints of training (that includes a lot of stuff).

Anyway, regarding the bounds: I think you can still do one-leg consecutive bounds on the left leg... there's nothing that can stop you since the right knee is the injured one... just make sure you're fit enough to do them so you don't injure that too. I'm doing them (I won't from now on) and I'm always thinking "be careful, be focused" when I'm doing them so that I don't get injured.

These were the last ones that I did:

improving conditioning & moderate rep bodyweight exercises/lifts goes a long way towards improving health.. short sprints, 200's, 400's, light running, jump rope, lateral movements, submax jumps from all plants, bodyweight stuff, avoiding risky exercises etc.. improving overall fitness.

To be frank, I'm kind of "afraid" of doing any "long distance" (>50m) sprints... I feel like my heart will blow up and die. I really think about that in my head. I've never had any resistance ever in my life... especially as I get drained of energy almost immediately because of nervous stuff (I get so "stressed" when I run that my energy just drains like rocket fuel).

Quote
so you can't jump/sprint anymore without pain? i figured the pain in the knee was still mostly isolated to squatting, considering your recent bound videos and depth broad jump videos.

I can sprint at high speeds without too much pain and I can jump maximally... it's just... weird. For the bounds, I only did them on the left leg, no right leg involvement. And yeah, I can do the depth jumps but there is pain.

Quote
if maximal jumping feels fine then it's definitely something else.. if you do slow runs, do them on grass etc, nice and soft, lots of blood flow, lots of very light impacts.

That's just boring... slow runs? WTF? ;D I can't just go to the track and see other people (Nightfly etc) train while I "slow run"... drives me nuts. I mean, I feel like my life is meaningless and shit like that. I know, crazy, but I still think that. Lost time...

Now I know, you're going to say "yes but it's for your healing"... haven't ever been injured in my life... that's a hard concept to comprehend.

Quote
if a dynamic warmup is really hurting the knee then man get that mri and get it figured out, thats if you have the right type of medical care.. if you don't, you'll have to do lots of light stuff to help rebuild/compensate to protect the knee.

A dynamic warmup isn't "really" hurting the knee but it does hurt it. When I do the knees to chest jumps unilaterally as part of the warmup, it still is an unilateral jump and land... so that bothers my knee.

But enough about me, hopefully I can rebound like Enzo here  :-*
