Nice dunks, and good quality on the pics!

I just wonder, what shoes do you use? They look light and very little ''clumsy'' (like many other standard training shoes)

thanks alot adistarhj

they are track shoes, spikeless.. nike zoom waffle racer 6's or 7's.. the neon greenish ones are the 7's.. ya they are SO light, 6 oz.. best shoes ever imo hah.

thanks so much esav!@$ hoping to get a nice little mix done tomorrow.

also hoping to jump even higher next weekend.. kind of gearing all my jumping towards big sessions on the weekend, with less important sessions during the week.. more focus on lifting during the week.

pc man

How old is he?!

Also, as for extra glute/ham work for single leg jumpers to supplement squats, what's your favorite exercise?

BSS? GHR? Dead Lift?

Thanks.

Thanks.

for glute, reverse hypers, if no access to reverse hypers, wide walking lunges.

for hamstring, ghr/pmghr.

Happy GizDay!(spelled with a G, not a J, did u understand, raptor

My comment on youtube:

darqman: the master of self lob 2 handers. First one is just brutal. I wish I could throw 'em down like you bro, hangin on the rim after those must be a great feeling.
Awesome dunks, I know I say it every time, but you seem to top yourself everytime so it's well deserved. P.s.: if you dunked on my court, you wouldn't have to add the explosion sound effect after each made man ahahahah!

hey man i'm gunna be a doucher and ask you for some workout advice!

so my lower back is in really terrible shape and squats seem to be making it worse...i'm looking into finding a good strength coach to workout the kinks with my so i don't feel like i'm dying the next 48 hours+ after i squat but in the mean time i was thinking i'd stop squating and try doing heavy barbell lunges since they don't seem to cause me pain...whats your take brother? does this sound good? or do you have anything else you think i might wanna try?

thanks Andrew i appreciate your time mon chum!

i'd stay away from barbell movements temporarily, work on dumbell movements.. dumbell lunge, dumbell calf raise, dumbell squat (holding db between legs, one db, both hands on it).. then i'd hit hypers, reverse hyper, ghr if possible, pillars for core, and glute bridges hard.

if you want to keep some efficiency with a bar on your back, just do some light lockouts, nothing crazy.. just to stay used to having a bar on your back.. but it sounds like you're probably over-arching with a bar on your back etc, abs not firing well, glute not firing well.. try to stick with DB movements for now, get crazy rugged on them, plus they'll give you bigger traps.

8/22/2011

bw = 149
5 eggs + 6 bananas + avacado, 345 x 1 pin squat + NGP=8, hamburger burrito + pb, 4 sets of 40 pushups + 50 calf raises + 100 glute bridges,

felt REALLY good waking up today.. back a little achy from a lame rep yesterday on my workup sets.. but legs felt great.

landed some really hard dunks.. need to go outdoor thursday, just have to go earlier.. have to be there around 7:30, gets way too hot even around 9am..

oh also, 146 today WTF.. sick

this was a really sick lefty miss:
