That is just amazing man , many many congratulations!
I like your storytelling style too , just like your youtube video directing!
And now finally back to vertical , with such strength it will be very easy & fun for you to make huge vertical ( power ) gains.
Good luck...

110407 Resting physically, Thinking about Vert mentally.

I try to play ball yesterday, end up having charlie horse in my outer quad, inner quad, and my hamstring.
I guess I had not recover from the meet.
In fact, my muscle is sore every morning. I think there is no excuse not too form roll.

I also decided to email Kelly, to bring him the good news about my squat. E-mail as follow:

Quote from: Scoobychau

Hi Kelly,

This is a thank you email to you!

I dig out this email from 2009, to catch up with you. I am a true believer and a big fans in the VJB. In fact it is VJB that got me high enough to dunk a tennis ball on a 9''10' rims in 2010. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1N2fkRPwWg

All thanks to you Kelly.

I started doing VJB in 2006 and I think I had repeated the intermediate routine at least 3 times over the past years. However, I tend to enjoy lifting more the plyometric... so I had been doing a lot of Squat with Depth jump and depth drop for the recent years.

As I squat more and more, I had become a squat expert, to avoid injury, I found myself a powerlifting coach to train technique and power.

I want update you some good news! Last Saturday, I had broken the local city record for Squat and earned 1st place in the Hong Hong powerlifting competition. My name is in the book.

At 83kg I squatted 210kg (Suited/Geared up), I believe I can squat raw at 180kg-190kg. I want to update you on this news say thank you to you again.

5 years of training, I guess I finally earn some official recognition.

At 31 yrs old, I am still trying to slamdunk...but I am still very far from that goal. I did reach over the rim by 2 inches once... that is the highest I ever got.

Another news is my wife had just got pregnant and baby is due in 10 months. I foresee after baby is born, I will not have much personal time to train for vert.

At this point, I would like to seek some advice on vert training from you, I suppose I am officially a powerhouse in terms of squat. For a guy like me, base on VJB routine, can you suggest me what routine I should follow?

Base on your suggestion, I will give it all I got! Considering this as my final stretch in my long vert training journey. I will give it all out and aim to Slamdunk in front of my new born baby!

I want to say Thanks again. VJB is the reason how I got to where I am now.

Regards,
Scoobychau.

Hope to hear back from him soon.

A quick suggestion from kelly:

> Didn't you say you'd be running a lot of basketball full court from now on?
> If so then that will take care of most of your plyo cuz you'll be doing lots
> of jumps. I would add a bit of plyo to it. You did olympic lifting for a
> while too didn't you? You still like doing those o lifts? Off hand I would
> recommend to you a workout like this every 4-5 days or so:
>
> hang snatch or hang clean: 4-5 x 1-3 reps
>
> each set alternated with depth jumps x 5 (or other plyo movement of your
> choice)
>
> Squat 5 x 1-3 reps (for strength maintenance - weights don't have to be to
> failure stop a couple of reps shy of failure you just want to "maintain"
> your leg strength)
>
> Barbell hip thrust or manual reverse hyper 2-3 x 8-10
>
> calf raise: 2-3 x 20
>
> Stretch your legs daily then go out and play basketball regularly. Drop
> some body-fat and that workout should have you flying good. Let me know
> what you think about that

110424 Easter Holiday Video Catchup

Took the holiday time to edit my previous video.
http://vimeo.com/22809460

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVu-X5YXKQo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVu-X5YXKQo</a>

P.S.
Youtube keep blocking my video, does not matter how I modified the background music.
I started looking up method to bypass the check and seem like it is nearly inpossible.
Youtube/google, respect for your fingerprint audio detection technology indeed!
Here is some test some guy did. (amazingly it is posted April 21st, just few day before I post this video, the day b4 easter holiday.)

Sweet video, I especially like the part where it freezes and everybody disappears except you.

Where about in HK do you train because I might be coming to HK for a few weeks and I want to do at least some squats.

110429 No barbell or Squat Rack

The Gym Reff is missing today. So I am stuck with dumbell.

Upperbody routine x3 round (doing everything lightly)

Depth Drop x3
ReverseHyper 30lbs x10
Depth Jump x3
- Comeplted 3 cycle of the above.

Dumbell Half Squat jump
60lbs each hand 3 x10

MR Tuck Jump 3 x 5

I went testing my vert, and I can only tap the rim ... vert is not going up, it is staying the same.
I meet a 168cm guy who happen to be a serious Vertical trainer here localy.
He is telling me CNS is the most important part in Vjump. Do everything lift in set of 3 in max speed, once u slow down, quit.

Looking at myself, lack of sleep and feeling my sore shoulder even right after i wake up... my CNS must be shxt to the max. I spend most of my weekend sleeping, however, it is not helping.

speed squats will train your muscles to 'turn on' faster / more explosively.. BUT.. unless you have the muscles to begin with, no amount of speed training is going to get you dunking.

squat more weight the conventional way to add muscles. it is easier to be explosive once you get stronger.

6 total reps of 265 at your weight, even if repped as fast as possible is not going to do anything. do something like 40 total reps of 80-85% RM 2x/week.. and eat a cow.

forgot to add.. a projected 420x1 squat single is not going to get you jumping high. 345x6-8reps will help vert more.
