Great info lance its much appreciated, il choose from measurable jumps like DLRVJ's, SVJ's bounding variations. and some low level pogos, hops etc. and il make sure to push them hard when i do them twice a week. if i incorporate something like hang cleans etc. what kind of set and rep range should i use?

Thanks lance, by the way my rvj is roughly 33 inches at the moment, with a 7 ft 3 standing reach i guess il need a 40-42 inch rvj to dunk so i have a long road ahead of me, but im going for it so we will see what happens. if you have any further advice it would be much appreciated. take care mate

Sup Lance,

Hope you've been well, just to let you know training has been going pretty good, been getting in my jumps twice a week on my non weight training days ive had some good and  some so so sessions. but im starting a new job now and i was looking into training 3 days a week instead of my current 4, wendler has a new full body 531 template which is basically his spin on the texas method that looks very interesting. it looks like this -

Monday squat 531 reps, incline bench or dips 3 x 10, dumbbell rows or any bent over row variation 3 x 10
Wednesday squat 3 x 10, bench 531 reps, pullups 3 x 10
Friday squat 3 x 10, shoulder press 531 reps, deadlift 531 reps

the weight on the extra squat days are initially fairly light, after a couple cycles the intensity is increased but volume is still low. I like it, what do you think?

Also i need to figure out when to schedule in my jumps. il be finishing 6-7pm mon - friday which is a problem because i jump outside and it will be dark and cold, ive tried jumping late on a poorly lit court a couple times it was awful, so realistically i can only practice my rvj's on a rim at the weekend, any ideas?

sup mane? hope you enjoyed the holidays. I did some max effort jumps today (20 in total), they were alot better then last time, more explosive and smooth but i still have a long way to go.

happy new year, hope its a good one for you

Great info lance. Basically your saying dont play your best cards all at once, work hard with the basics and progress to more advanced techniques when needed, well im in it for the long run so its all good, thanks for your time mane.

yea thats what i was doing, im sure it will improve with time. I havnt done any jumping for a couple years now so cant really complain i just need to work on it, its starting to get cold outside and its always pissin down with rain in london but i dont really care imma just be that crazy dude jumping in the rain.

simple and makes complete sense. glad to finally be on the road to dunking in the near future, if you have anymore tips for me im always willing to learn, il be keeping a training log so il let you know how im doing.

peace.
