I think the best bounce for bounce balls are the cheap rubber ones. You can get them super inflated and they bounce like crazy. Not ideal to play with but as a lob only ball.

Speaking of balls  :o what is the best ball for general play and palming in your guys opinion? I have had good experiences with the molten G7 and certain Wilson balls but need to find the grippiest ball out there.

Everyone here uses Wilson evolution.  When it's just slightly deflated it's great and about the only ball I can palm for lefty dunks.  Also Wilson wave is easy to palm but I not great for dribbling...

If I invent a lobbing machine will LBSS buy it? Man I saw a 5'3 (legit) guy dunk off a beautiful self lob and taped it... Amazing.

If that isn't the perfect self lob I don't know what is...

i use the wilson CIS, which is supposed to be the wilson evolution, but it feels a bit different. i just pump it up to the max and its fine for lobbing though. i also have the wilson solution, but i never use it now because it doesnt bounce as well as the CIS.

and isnt that guy 5'2? wish there were more footage of him, hes putting it in pretty easily too.

dude looks microscopic. crazy.

I had a good ball for palming way back, but didn't use it much since I preferred lobs. Looked similar to that Wilson ball.. it was some indoor ball with a ton of grip.

I saw him at a summer league here... I dunno 5'2, 5'3.  He is legit tiny.  I mean he is so short that exaggerating down makes some sense - I guess all the matters is his reach - does have long arms but still has less than a 7 foot reach... I mean he can jump for sure.

yeah i hadn't really been single as an adult until the last year. and i wasn't that self-confident as a younger dude. still a wuss in some ways, my buddy was making fun of me the other weekend for not wanting to go up to women at the bar we were at. i believe the quote was, "you're the best-looking dude in this bar but you have the self-confidence of a fourth grader." in my defense, that chick was a smoke show and i did end up going over to talk to her. nevertheless, i'm way more confident than i used to be and that has resulted in sex with a lot of different women. and lots of dates.

anyway, was rushed again last night. and tired, as i said.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee during squatting, in a weird new way
MENTAL STATE: out of it

- warm up
did some one-step jumps but height was so bad that i didn't press

- squat MSEM 305 x 4
felt like shit, knee hurt. got some power but felt unsteady. blah.

- fuck it

on the plus side, i got a full 8 hours of sleep last night. let the repairs begin.

Any tips to work on self confidence in that regard... how where you able to change it? I'm also a wuss when it comes to talking to girls eventhough I look pretty decent.

Do you use knee sleeves?  Also, did you feel your knees caving in towards each other at all?

Two main things, although I can't tell you what flipped the switch finally on either of them:
1. I stopped caring whether a woman I'm interested in is interested in me. If she is, wonderful. If not, okay.
2. I started actually believing that I'm attractive. People have told since I was in my early teens that I'm handsome. For the longest time, there was something blocking me from internalizing that. A little cockiness/vanity helps when it comes time to make a move.

Don't want to overemphasize the shift -- one the one hand, it's not like I'm Brad Pitt or anything, and on the other hand, I hooked up with and dated some attractive women over the years. Just never with the volume that I've had this year.

thanks will try that... I mean there are several girls that told me that I'm handsome or the ones I've been with have been pretty satisfied with my "performance" and told me that but I've never really been able to internalize it as you said. I hope I can get to that point where I don't care if a girl likes me or not.

i think a lot of it is fake it 'til you make it. chick says no, you're crestfallen but out loud say, "cool," and inside say, "whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, her loss, her loss, her loss, her loss."

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little (this is a bad trend)
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 3,3
33-34, pretty good

- DLRVJ x 3,3,3,3
not great at first so switched to submax sets of three. gonna go for PRs tomorrow, will see if i can get a buddy to throw lobs.

- daily routine x 0.5
