That first dunk is one of the first dunks where, to me, it looked like you were literally throwing it -down-. In my opinion, there's dunking, and then there's throwing it down. Lots of people dunk, few people throw it down. Well done sir.
thanks so much man, and ya i agree.. i wanna land those where top of my head is rim level and my arm is just almost parallel lol, kind of like golden child does it.
peace!
Gettin hiiiiigh. How much over the rim do you think you're getting?
thanks man, dno, maybe around 14" or so peak total, not sure on the lefty
...
man I will go to sleep and think about a decent comment to leave on youtube, as I'm absolutely speechless now.
no words. just
haahah!!!
thanks already though, that comment is good enough :F
sick
You got up nasty, and threw down some of your hardest dunks yet and you're not at the maximum leaness i noticed, when u get there it's gonna be fyah!
thanks alot dude, and ya, i'm just too F'n fat.. drives me nuts, i eat pretty clean too, but i can't do anyhting more drastic than i'm doing right now, would effect my strength.. the interval sprints during my LTMP sessions will increase a bit in volume, itll help a little.. i am getting leaner though while maintaining weight so there's a small muscle gain/fat loss shift going..
when i get down to sub 7% i'll just be soaring faaaaawk.
More hip into the plant ^^^ when planting from the baseline
Plant definitely occurs more in front of the body than straight-under, like you normally do when you go from the left-side, perpendicular to the basket.
i do that from my normal run up though, you just can't see it as good due to the camera angling.. usually i use a 'multi angle', so u don't see the length.. but i know what you're saying, my plant's are definitely different from the the runups you're talking about.. they feel really good too.
hey adarq,
when you do half squats, where on your foot do you put most of the weight?
the entire foot with slightly more pressure towards ball of foot at times.. it's funny, when i'm in danger of missing a rep, sometimes i shift really hard to the ball of my foot, and i complete the rep.. puts more "pressure on the knees", but also activates my quads even more.. but i try not to do that often, can be too stressful on knees.. if i sit back on heel, it actually bugs me patella even more so than going on toes.. so i try to stay pressure on the entire foot, if i need too ill shift a little more towards my ball of foot but not much.
funny though how, to lift more, when in danger of missing a rep, i shift towards toes, most people do actually.. think about that for a minute....
quadnation.
many coaches/ powerlifters always instruct their athletes to have majority of their weight on their heels when they squat and deadlift. do you think this is necessary when training for vertical jump (particularly bilateral jump)?
nope not at all.. i used to be brainwashed into believing people should put most pressure on heel, bad idea imo.. whole foot equally distributed is better, even a slight shift towards midfoot/ball of foot imo.
everyone knows that having weight on the heels when performing movements emphasizes the glutes and hamstrings... but i never jump of my heels... so why would i train like that?
well most people plant into their heels so people could bring up that argument, but, i think you have to look at it like this.. what would you NATURALLY DO.. if you naturally would sit way back onto heels and reduce involvement of the quads, that might actually be the best way for you to squat, just much more of a hip dominant athlete... but most people aren't built that way, especially basketball players.. i train my hips just fine going down the way i do and where i focus the pressure on my foot, so it's a non issue for me.. and it's just more natural/comfortable for me to do it that way.
so ya everyone is different.. people say to start the squat by pushing your hips back, im for initiating all in one or even with knees first.. people who push waaaaay back before descending are really ruining the squat imo.
peace dude hope that helps..
