STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[ill steelo]

I can rely on experience to 100% disagree. When I first started vert training in high school I couldn't touch rim (I'm 6'0), by the start of college I was able to dunk off vert and easily off drop step and any type of approach, in games even. At my most athletic I could windmill, 2 hands, either hand either foot, lots of good **** that even NBA pg's aren't doing at that height and while still being slightly overweight. Now I'm extremely overweight and comparatively sedentary and can't dream of any of that ****, but I definitely didn't have any genetic predisposition to being athletic, MUCH the opposite in fact.

What did you do? I can't even dream of dunking in games

^please tell us what you did brah..6'2 and can barely dunk

EDIT: can someone put me on to a good core strengthening program? Thanks in advance

Destroyed my legs... I'm afraid to wake up tomorrow.

I prefer the 5x5 method for Squats. I'm able to keep good form since the reps are lower.

Man in high school I cared about dunking more than girls. I bought all types od equipment; calf isolator, squat flex, built some plyo boxes, and training programs Mad Bounce 2, Scott's Creations, And Jump for STS (google them, wya back then some were scanned online free).

The exercise I liked best that worked for me, because it made me jump high but also get off the ground quicker than everyone else was all the box jumps, depth jumps where you jump off the box, land, and immediately spring back up; doing that with 1 leg (shorter box height), Jump for STS had variations where you'd land and jump at cutting angles sometimes more than 1 jump so it was like agility training with it, flying step ups are good for 1 legged jumping, bulgarian squats and squat jumps, and knee tuck jumps were probably my favorite few explosive plyos.

What's crazy about the 70s era is that their look back then is basically the "pyshique" look now.

I much rather prefer the look back then versus now.

No problem. You can implement some of those along with the lifting I assume you are already doing. I just bought some lumber to build a plyo box, an 18 by 24 by 30 from Lowe's and had them cut it, the 3/4 inch birch 4 x 8ft + 2 inch deck screws + wood glue is about 60 bucks, compared to a 30, 24, and 18 inch box seperately would probably run over $200. I have to get back into it and get my hops back.

put me on too, i can already dunk, but its like only after ive warmed up, was never able to windmill (even tho i think that has to do with how fast you can move your arms) but adding more inches to my bounce wont hurt so thanks for sharing
