I was able to film a little video while in between games this week. My jumping was not all that great, but it does show quite a bit of progress, I think. I was able to notice though just how weak my approach is. I really need to work on the speed of my approach. I really just take a two step approach instead of running as fast as I can. This explains to me why my "running" vert is not much higher then my standing or one-step.
Compare the approach to the following vid of StevenDunks who has so much more speed and explosion.
At least that hopefully means I have a lot of room for improvement. Well, I'm about to head off to attempt my 315# squat. I'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully I get video of that as well. Thanks for following.
You're getting there. Steven is very explosive off of 2 feet and like you I am not. That's why I do most jumps off one leg. I am working on two feet though also. How did the 315 squat go? Keep up the work, your goal is near.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how much lower my one leg jumping has gotten. I can't jump off one leg anymore. I failed on the 315. I think I wore myself out trying to warm up too much. My legs were exhausted before I even tried. I think I'm going to try once a month to max out. I have a better method laid out for next time.
ReplyDeleteMy one leg jump also went a few inches lower and felt weaker until about week 6. I just started trying dunk attemps off one and 2 feet to try and make both about the same vertical. Good luck on the 315 and your training!!
