haha, i probably meant my 1 footed approach, that isnt improving.

i think my 2 footed approach is still slowly goin up.

yea, ur right abt stickin with something for abit, tot i'd get some input on what im doing.
hmm, perhaps i'd drop the single depth jumps then.

thanks for the input, and the fast reply!! anythin else u'd think is impt?

damn... my 2 footed vert is coming along slowly now, can get 1-2 knuckles over pretty constantly now.
my 1 footed approach, however, is another story. still also abt 1-3 knuckles.

been changing up my training abit now, lunges, rea squats, single leg depth jumps. still no improvement seen. :(
any idea why adarq, or anyone else?

got up a simple blog, cowed77-log@blogspot.com, to keep track...

btw adarq, how does one do a single leg depth jump? for me, i drop off, land with my target training foot on the floor, the other leg swings, and nv touches the floor, and then i jump. is this the correct way?

what else should i be doing for my training?

how can u do so many glute ham raises???

there isnt a GHR machine in my gym, so i improvised by putting my knees on one of those bouncy half dome things to cushion them, then hooking my ankles under whatever i could find.

cant even do a proper all the way to the floor one!!  :'(

but dude, u look like u can go way up, lookin from ur vids,
how tall are u? can u get rim?

just got 120kg for 2reps, the 3rd rep almost killed me, was almost a good morning at the end. tried it after 2 sets of 110...
thank heavens i didnt injure myself.

adarq, how does one do single leg depth jumps?
i tried it yesterday. is it like drop off, land on 1 foot, the other leg nv touching the ground, and just swinging and then jumping?

also, i used to do single leg squats, but im doing walking lunges now, cos i think i heard u mentionin that its better, in that it gets one to put force into the ground? mind tellin me abit abt the proper form? sorry abt the form questions, just think that its impt i dun screw up the exercise.

and i tried to find the vid of this particular thing u were doing. one legged, jumps onto a short platform, just goin back and forth between the ground and the platform. wat is the target muscle for this? is the leg supposed to be stiff as well?

many many thanks!

yay, excited. finally gonna be doin somethin other then squatting today haha.

hey, adarq, could u tell me abit more abit depth drops, or depth jumps?
form, where to bend or something?

cos i noticed when u do ur depth drop, u jump off something, tuck ur legs, then land on the balls of ur feet.
and depth jumps, ur supposed to land, minimise contact time with the ground, and jump back up? but is one supposed to bend at the knees or somethin? or is it somethin stiff legged?
i mean, yeah, stuff like that, which i think might matter...

oh, so i alternate between ur 2 sets for each workout...
i realise its just scratchin the tip of what u've said so far, all that force absorption, rfd, stim and technical gobbledegook that i don't quite grasp fully.

still aways to go till i need to go more indepth, so i guess i'll stick to what u prescribed for the next month or so, and see where it brings me heh heh.

thanks for the quick reply! replied to ur youtube vid sometime back, but the comms broke down haha.

i was doing squats, bench, pull-ups, dumbbell shoulder press. in short, somethin like the 5x5. did that every every tues and thurs for the 1st few months, but for the last month or so, when i was hitting above 1.5 BW, i was only doin it every tues, thurs was whatever i had left in the tank, but basically the same exercises, at lower weights.

fri would be abit of hoops practice, nothing serious, just working on my J. and sat would be my weekly game.

thanks for the quick program writeup too. am probably going to go with that for the next few months or so. however, whats on fri?


also, when u said dbl ankle hops, i would suppose it would be something like skipping rope, motion-wise? also, just BW i suppose, no extra barbell on top? what triple extension too? haha, dun quite catch u there.

and REA squat. searched for it on utube, and haha, look wat i found. however, RJ was going beyond parallel... what does rea mean anyway?

hello all!

always thought i was 5'11 till jackW kindly pointed out that im only 5'9 :(
LOL
anyways, its abt 174cm, 65kg.

been workin real hard, in hopes of finally being able to dunk. not working yet at the moment tho.
so if anyone can give me some pointers, i'd suppose here is the place to look?
haha, got myself clowned on tmuscle, so thought perhaps i'd try other avenues.

long story short, was able to get rim before i started on free weights. ie, wrong stuff like the leg press, machine leg extension, hack squats...
realised my folly, hit the gym hard, got my squat to 100kg, now its 115 for 2X3. thought i'd be able to fly, or at least get my hand over the rim, only to realise nothing much changed. still pretty much the same running 1 foot vert (in fact, slightly lower last time out), tho im better of 2 feet now.

pointers anyone? hahaha, i read thru most of what u posted adarq, but its all abit too deep for me.
