The best lift im not doing must be rack pulls ...  irealised after failing my RDL workset last night (my grip gave way) and i cudnt rack pull the bar off the pins .. . felt impossibly heavy, unmovably. so now i just gotta figure out a way to program these bitches in .. they will do wonders for me. also i switched back to the old bar. it's thicker and better for hook grip

Now now, as the good lord says: thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's standing reach. Or something like that.

Got decent quad doms .. hamstrings are also sore but that's not new lol. it is remarkable that my quads be sore since they were completely fresh after the weekends 6x6 squats + sprints. i think my first  weighted dunks are telling me something useful, im a quad dominant jumper ... being able to put on a 10kg weight vest and land dunks on the same day means the quarter squats etc have been working in getting my jumping muscles stronger. so my hunch that i need more quad (mass & strength) is gaining confidence.

game tmr and mo squatting (bs, belted bs, quarter squats, jump squats) followed by dunks and a game .. yikes.

Watching my friend's dunk video on insta, i noticed how he has a strong leg kick to initiate his dunk. I still to this day have zero kick in mine. Am i leaving inches on the table?? how do i fix this

edit. im watching it more closely and he begins his dunk with the leg kick and arm swing (from the bottom) simultaneously. obviously this is an self oop. maybe i need to practice lob dunks cos then i can have more freedom to work on my technique. lbss has mentioned i dont use arm swing eiother(?) so idk. i have room to improve

Oh I see. Proper arm swing is definitely important, but that sort of midair butt kick movement won't actually give you any extra meaningful height. Any leg swing/kick back momentum happens after he leaves the ground, so there's nothing to act against. I guess it's similar to the hitch kick in long jump, which doesn't give you any added force off the ground or height but is the preferred technique probably for optimal landing position by stopping excessive forward rotation (to my knowledge, I don't know of any studies comparing the main landing styles but pretty much everyone hitch kicks at the top).

But I think what you're getting at is is this sort of movement correlated with better jumps/better jumpers? Usually you see pretty explosive guys doing it. Hand-waving here but maybe it's a by-product of strong hamstring/glute contraction in the plant/take-off.
