I am a 33 year old trying to dunk a basketball again. I haven't really done that since high school. I've chosen the Jump Manual to get me there.

Hard Week
Sorry for the lack of updates everyone. I have had a not so great week with my training and haven't had a chance to post about it. On Wednesday night I was noticing a lot of pain in my knees and I couldn't do any of the plyo workout without excruciating pain (feels like jumpers knee starting). So I decided to not do the workout for that day. I did one of the off-day exercises, but then on Saturday when I was supposed to do my Strength and Explosion workout I went to a college football game instead, plus my knees were pretty sore still so I was scared to do the heavy workout. Today I did some squats (fairly light weight, but good range of motion and explosion), ham curls, weighted calf raises, some in places lunges and a few depth drop jumps and my knees feel pretty good. I've been icing them most nights and trying to take it light on the activity so they would heal. I feel pretty good so I am going to do my plyos and measurements on Wednesday and kind of redo week 7. Playing basketball tomorrow also, so I will try to get some video of the bounce dunk attempts if I'm feeling good. Just wanted to keep people updated. Thanks for following.
