You might have to raise the bet to cover the price.

[Archie]

hack squat machine like this?

do some free weight barbell one legged jumping squats off boxes

 

[IAG]

protect your shoulders.

 

[housepicks]

Yeah arch that is the one :(

Free weight dumbbell jump squats off boxes seems pretty intense.

Day 1 for me


Goal to dunk a tennis ball by march madness

Prob only able to reach about 9'6 right now

Gotta lose 20 lbs and work on legs and explosiveness to gain about 10 inches back

 

[bacon]

[Archie]

Maybe only 2-2.5 inches away

Might be able to graze the rim with some caffeine and more warm up

Better then me Arch...5 or 6 inches away from rim.


I have something going on with my left foot...arch problem...havnt been training.

 

[Tron]

Arch has some nice vert. You'll be able to dunk pretty easily if you lose 15 pounds I would think.
