Another one from the explosive category. Kneeling jump squats. I started doing these during covid lockdown when my training options shrank to what I could do on a mat in my living room. Became a favourite and they've stayed in my program since. What's happening here? You're generating full-body...

Thank you Bryan Johnson. Jefferson is amazing. I will try to summarize the general dunk formula right now: 1. Height is a huge factor 2. Genetic jumping starting point 3. Age and injury history Then I would say 2 main things go missed: 1. Not being able to palm a ball is a huge barrier - not only to putting the ball through the rim, but holding back the JUMP INTENT itself. A small or foam ball (and even low rim if needed) can be a breakthrough to BECOMING A GOOD JUMPER. Getting well up over the rim is the first step and you can get better quality jumps without holding a ball. 2. A full squat. Think Wemby, 7+ feet tall, no chance genetically to be an Olympic weightlifter but then the top Olympic weightlifter of all time, pound for pound, is like 5’5” and no chance blocking Webmy’s dunk - and so FULL SQUAT tends to go missing! It gets overlooked. But I’ve seen NOTHING come close to how much it SUPPORTS dunk goal, because it strengthens legs AND KNEES. It’s almost like the worse you are at full squat, the more potential is waiting for you. For dunking, knee is NOT #1 power but knee PAIN is #1 BARRIER. Even in pro dunking you’ll now find the majority full squat. I personally coached many of them 8 years ago and it changed dunking, behind the scenes, forever. I’m not saying to work through pain. Here and on a weekly basis I post pain-free full squat strategy. 3. Similarly, seated calf machine goes underrated for extra Achilles support. So if we recap: Dunk is largely your starting point you can’t do anything about. But you can do a LOT with uninhibited jumping - that means neither ball nor knee pain or Achilles pain holding you back. Then, yes, any other power method is valid and can further boost! Doesn’t help that from 1970s to today, in many textbooks, “NO KNEE OVER TOES / NO FULL SQUAT” was forced on millions of students, despite no long-term research, which now shows that mistake.

As for the heart, it bleeds.. As for the mind, it is broken and as for the soul, it no longer desires anything🥺 My friends and loved ones, this is your friend Mo, and this is a new update.. My area was subjected to a barrage of airstrikes. They bombed a building about 150 meters away from me. I was taking care of my plants and cats. Suddenly, without any warning, a violent bombardment occurred. Hundreds of shrapnel fell around me. One of them was enough to kill me. The shrapnel, as you can see in the picture below, is small and sharp, and when it hits the ground, it is as hot as embers... I survived this time too.. The question is how many times do we have to survive.. Unfortunately, 12 victims fell in this raid. I saw the victims with my own eyes, but I did not see 12 bodies. I saw body parts. They were all torn to pieces due to the force of the explosion.😭😭.. When these explosions happened, the cats were around me and then they ran and started running like lightning. Damn this war. I don't understand what these little ones did wrong😢🥺😡😡 What I saw and what we are going through made me feel depressed... My body started to take revenge on me and it became clear... I no longer take care of myself, I don't sleep well, I don't get enough rest during the day, I don't take care of my health... I keep everything inside my heart and try to smile.. I'm back to what I was... long silence, avoiding talking, staying up all night when it's dark, and wanting to be alone... My dear friends, with the ongoing land, air, and sea bombardment, the crossings have been closed for two months. They are preventing food from entering Gaza. Famine is intensifying in Gaza. People are eating turtles and tree leaves... Even water supplies have been cut off to Gaza... Life here is hell: death, destruction, hunger, thirst, no food, no water, no medicine...and the prices are ridiculous.. What we used to buy for $10 we need $100 to buy it Forced evacuation orders continue to be issued from one area to another every day, increasing the suffering of the displaced.. My friends and loved ones, the interaction and support are no longer what they once were. My situation is at its worst since the beginning of the war. I have never experienced worse circumstances. Your support helps me endure this genocide.. I am so grateful to everyone who makes life better with their words, small actions, and unexpected initiatives. Thank you to those who make my days with your kindness. I love you all, my friends.

Is strength important for speed development? Here’s my take ⤵️⤵️ For context — this is me cleaning 295 lbs at 167 lbs body weight and I credit my abilities in the weight room largely for helping my collegiate career flourish the way it did However… We can’t lift at the expense of speed training and development What that means is when we enter the weight room we can’t do so with blinders on acting as if the only thing in the world that matters is that weight training session or improving your 1RM YES… you need force to move your body through space YES… that force needs to be high relative to your body weight BUT… you must be a skilled mover to apply said force in the right positions, at the right times, with the right vectors for it to mean anything While important to holistic athletic development, we’ve got to stop acting like strength is the ultimate differentiator in speed Lot of “weak” athletes will blow your doors off in sprints Lot of “strong” athletes get folded in speed & power sports Go into the weight room with the idea that you’re complementing your speed and athletic development… not superseding it If your legs are so beaten and broken down from lifting heavy you can’t train for 2-3 days without excessive risk, you’re doing it all wrong. Just some perspective from someone who once pursued 1RMs to no end while my track times stagnated… and then was enlightened by world class coaches who lifted within the context of my sport to take me from a college tryout to D1 All American What’re your thoughts? Let’s discuss in the comments!
