a quest, at 36 years old, to dunk a basketball for the first time...

Week 35.1
Well, I'm taking this week off because we're going to Italy for 10 days. No training. No overtraining. We'll see how I am after I return, loaded with focaccia bread and gelato.

Hey man, I just so happened to find your YouTube videos and think what you're doing is awesome. If you're really determined to meet this goal, having a basket at home is going to be a lot of help. One thing I always did to train in the off season was to set the goal down (even if it was only to 8 feet). That way, you're not worrying so much on the jump itself, but the mechanics of actually dunking. Then you can gradually raise it to 8 1/2, 9, 9 1/2 and before you know it, you'll be dunking on a 10 ft basket. While the goal is down, one way to really work on your form is to get both hands OVER the basket and just drop the ball in. That was, you're not putting too much emphasis on actually grabbing the rim (which is really the last part of a natural dunk). Obviously for some, being able to jump comes much more naturally. But for most people, it takes a lot of hard work. Just keep doing what you're doing and keep your head up.
dude i found your videos on youtube also ... im from poland i always had problem with my jumping skill but i was determent and now i can dunk not great but i can do the simplest dunkes from 2 legs and i can do 360 from one... you have a great hart i admire you and if i had treiner and gym i would do things like this !! im so jaluos i started jumping on lower rims also and its the best way to see your progress and sqats do it man i hope ill see you dunkin soon !! you deserve it !! so much of hard work
Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
