WTF, your ankles are constantly sprained!!!
Maybe you should use some extra protection for them? Like an ankle sleeve, not the bulky ones with the straps, i have this one and it is not bulky or restrictive:

Heal well!

Lance has not been online since June 2013, there is also no info regarding his whereabouts :(

admittedly, it's been a few years since i looked into it, but empirical consensus back then was that those things are completely placebo and provide no actual structural benefit.

ankle compression is good post-injury to reduce swelling. otherwise you're better off with low-tops and socks, and ankle strengthening exercises. PM me if you want some good progressions for the ankle once you can get back on it, cowed.

let me have at it LBSS!

ankle is more or less fine now... took abit longer than expected, considering that it wasnt as bad a roll as the last big one which put me out for 3 months or so. Either its age, or i went and squatted anyway.

been doing the same routine for the longest time... can anyone come up with one for me?
wished Lance or adarq is still doing this haha.

topsets of sessions in the last 2 weeks

squatted 140 (or 145) for 4
ohp 65 for 3

15 reps of 100kg at squats

both i wanted 5 reps, and i probably could have ground out the last squat rep, but i didnt want to be sore at my lower back for days.
maybe im lazy, but i dont like grinding out reps too much. Do you guys think there's any advantage in grinding?

After a rec league game, tested out the vert.

Assuming the rim is 10ft, I got a joint and a hair above on my first attempt.

Should be a 34-35 inch or so.

Run ups for these jumps have nv felt at full speed, and at 2 or sometimes 4 steps before the final two. some technique issues or sth.

So I feel there's an easy inch or two to be had if I could work on my technique or sth.
Frustrating haha!

On my second attempt I got almost all my fingers above, and it didnt feel tough.
Pleasant surprise.

All further attempts I could just touch or get an inch above tho.
I think my jumping mechanics or form needs to be finetuned or refined though, cos I always jump my highest when it didn't feel like a max effort  :uhhhfacepalm:

Must say this was the highest I've jumped in recent months though.
Id say it's approx 35 inches or so?

Since noone commented the jump, i will do it, although i am not a jumping form specialist or ever a fan.
It looks to me like you are traveling too much horizontally in the air, or , if you prefer, you planted too far away from the rim. Try to be a little closer, not directly underneath but much closer, and explode up.
The explanation is simple physics, the vertical force that you apply is proportional to the cosinus of the take-off angle. And cosinus is not linear.
What does that mean in simple english? If you take off with 45 angles degree, 70% of your force will be used for vertical displacement. If you change that angle to 30 degrees the percentage goes to 85%. And if you take that to 10 degrees, the percentage is 98%. Why don't we all take off under the rim? Because it will screw our mechanics, you will lose more force output than the percentage you win from the angle. So you have to find a sweet spot that is as close as possible to the rim without having to mess with your form ( decelerate, reposition, change leverages to a disadvantageous position etc ). Try one step closer, see what happens.

Hahaha thanks for the input raptor, tho u did go all physics prof on me hahaha.

It didn't feel that way to me when I was jumping, but when I looked at my own vid, I also felt that I took off abit too far. Not like adarq, who does a nice job transferring all the energy vertically.

Why wouldn't u  be concerned abt jumping form though? Of all ppl I tot u would be the one that would go all geeky on stuff like that. I was concerned that I might be bending over too much, losing power, or sth of that sort haha.
