your jumps look crazy high, except when you look at the rims...were they 10'2" or something?

You look like 6'7 here:

yo adarq!! i'm new here and first wanna say how awesome this site is. second i just want to ask you what the craziest results on vert/speed you've ever heard of are (real ones, not bullshit 14 inches in 1 month squatflex shit) and what you think can be realistic for approximately 8 weeks in the summer of hard weight training, sled pushing, good sleep/nutrition, etc. peace.

havn't seen much to be honest.. there's hardly any documented transformations with huge gains, anywhere.. the best i've seen are people who are on this site, nightfly/arowe/vag/dreyth/vag/rip/kingfish/steven-miller/nba8340/hickson/cskin etc.. not saying they got their gains from this site, they've been training long before this site etc, but those are most impressive i've seen.. i can't speak for people on youtube who just "claim big gains", they don't have journals and they don't have their progress documented on video, so most of them are bullshitting.. i dno maybe i'd say frank yang for someone i don't know, he started around 32-33" SVJ apparently and got to 40" on jump mat (probably < 40 or so actual, so 38-39" legit.. hardly a huge amount of inches gained in a marketing sense, but 8" on SVJ is pretty huge.

most people won't add 6" to their vert, ever.. hardly anyone will add 12".. very very few will add 20+ inches.. the 12+ inch mark is years in the making, definitely not under a year.

and what you think can be realistic for approximately 8 weeks in the summer of hard weight training, sled pushing, good sleep/nutrition, etc. peace.

hard to say, your log says you're already jumping fairly high though so you're not looking at much inches in 8 weeks.. 1" legit power gained, up to 3" total if you were to cut water weight etc, crap like that.. but around 1" or so if your vert is already 40.

it depends on too many things though, for example, if you just maintained strength and leaned up even more, that'd be inches.. if you gain strength and maintain weight ,that'd be inches.. relative strength needs to increase significantly for those inches to be gained so, ..

bw = 154
soreness = calves
aches/injuries = felt achy all over actually, quads achy too, bottoms of feet etc
fatigue = moderate
diet = coconut water + protein/water-drink, alot of running with dog, half protein/gatorade drink + vit-C-hydration thing, dunking + half protein/gatorade drink, 6 chicken tenders + smoky chipotle chips + coconut water, coconut water, jump rope = 8 x 200 + plate swings = 45lb x 15, long dog walk, LTMP-SINGLES+VOLUME{low-squat-ankle-hops=1x100,9x50, MSEM-unracking=405x5, calve-raises=225x5,245x5,245x12, ng-pullups=20}, 2*protein/water-drink + 2*coconut-water + 2 beef sausage hotdogs on wheat bread + some
cocoa almonds

man, after the MSEM-unracking, 245 felt like 135, i actually re-racked it and checked to see if i had 245 on there.. incredible hah.

i really think these unracking reps are helping my ng-pullups, gravity feels like it's decreased after the unracking stuff.. for every movement.

152 after last session, good sign.. hopefully within a few weeks ill be near 145 and jumping 3-4 inches higher.

legs feel better right now than they did all day, hopefully can dunk again tomorrow and land some nicer ones.

taylor, i didnt even know what a chinchilla was until you mentioned it.. i knew it was some kind of pricey fur coat, but had no idea it was some mouse looking thing haha..

Last jump looks like a one-leg dunk attempt. You owe me a one legged dunk if you get under 150.
