wooo hooooo im dunkin!

i dont know if it was the adrenaline before the game, but im warm ups i went up and dunked with two hands, no alley oop or nothing, i didnt even jump as hard!! or maybe it could be the weight loss?? im at a solid 175.0lbs as of today, and it was no fluke, because after the game i tried it like 15 times in a row, still dunking lol, its getting to the point to where all i need is two steps before i jump!!! i have never been able to jump like that(put it down with two hands no oop), even when i was 135lbs in highschool! this is amazing lol

so far what ive been doing is wall sits, 2 to 3 times a week, at 1min 30 sec x 3

and donkey calf raises at 400lbs x 20 x 3, standing calf raises at 400 lbs x 20 x 3

and then my regular workouts of course

ill post a video if anyone wants to see me throw down!!

p.s. im only 5'8" woo hoo go short people!

jonb,
    f me, I'm so jealous!  :(  I'm 6 ft 1.  What's a "wall sit"?  Congrats!

ha its pretty tiring. lets see that video man... im a lot taller than that and i get stuffed by the rim everytime.

How long have you been doing those exercises before the workout? i think that i might start doing that ha

We do those sometimes in my MMA class. Since I train my legs so often, I don't really think that they're all that bad, but a lot of other people in the class f***ing hate them.

do the wall sits help with developing the size of the quads/hams/glutes, or is it more a strength or power thing?

ugh I train my legs often but when you have to do "wall sits" against your partners back instead of an actual wall they still suck, or the wall sit for 2 mins, sprint, wall sit for 2 mins, sprint ugh

I tried a wall sit for 60 sec.  Nice!  I'll try to see how many 90 sec ones I can do.

Sweet man. I'm like six inches taller, and I can barely get the net.

Gratz man!

I just started playing bball again to get some more athletic activity in since I couldnt play football this year.

I can hang on the rim, but I cant dunk yet :(...heh, im workin on some extra calf work and plyo's a few times a week so hopefully soon I will be.

Years ago I was really into Bball and I weighed about 170 I could throw it down.

But anyway GJ man, especially at your height...thats quite the achievement.

yeaa those calf raises n such seemed to put me where i needed to be, i only needed like 4 more inches to be able to dunk without an alley oop

im sure you'll get it soon if your already hanging on the rim lol
