Dang... very nice man! Oly squats, snatches and cleans ought to really help out your explosiveness. Maybe getting up to a 1.5xBW full squat would give you a decent strength base. Keep up the solid work!

Monday July 9th
Pretty much a rest day, jusst ran treadmill for 20 min, then sauna for 20

[sircalis]

I wanna see some video of you throwing down sometime soon... haha

My 5'7" self can only dream of doing it....

lol, i got my little highlight reel from the school season..got like 1 dunk in there, its kinda brief tho.. http://youtube.com/watch?v=I-kvH-Nqt8g
p.s. i got enuff scholarship offers just off this video alone :clap:

[TheLion]

nice video. where are you thinking of going to college at?

[redFury]

Omigosh... you have a God given gift right there. You see the floor really well and have mad skills. No wonder you got offers...

And you're completely right... if you can develop your quickness and speed, along with vertical and athleticism you'll be a starter at a D1 school for sure.

[sircalis]

rite now i got offers at every level except d1... i blame it mostly on the fact that I started playing basketball late (15) and did not play AAU (when u travel over states and get alot of exposure) untill this year, and i was only in 2 tourneys, so not a lot of chances for me to showcase my skills to coaches... right now from d1 im talkin to oregon state, which is a very good school and i ahve a coach talkin to sum school in cali (he didnt tell me which 1).. chances are tho, i will either have to go to a prep school or junior college for a year, then go d1...thnx for positive replies guys :D

[TheLion]

yea, if i were you, i would work on beefing up. put on some mass, but dont sacrifice how lean you are. and work on that vertical. work both hands too.

i was going to say, got to a d2 school for a year and develop, and then transfer.

[j_man_honda]

:evillaugh Damn man, swattin em like flys man. I miss my high school b-ball days. 11ppg my senior year. Decent I guess. You would have schooled me though!:nod:

[sircalis]

Anyways got in the weightroom -probably a good 2 hrs in there

[sircalis]

yea, if i were you, i would work on beefing up. put on some mass, but dont sacrifice how lean you are. and work on that vertical. work both hands too.

i was going to say, got to a d2 school for a year and develop, and then transfer.

while i am tryint o put on a bit of muscle, for me my focus is speed and athleticism... out of the 2 the quickness is alot more important then mass, cuz if i get slower...i would have to play pf, which is not sumthin i want to do...and ive thought about that option, but i dun want to take the risk of screwin up n then not bein able to transfer....if it cums down to it, i would rather go prep or juco for a year

[TheLion]

i go to uncw. is it vlad?

[sircalis]

i go to uncw. is it vlad?

lol yea it was...he made me feel very small

[TheLion]

yea. i bet. he's a big guy. he sucks at dunking tho. and for someone his size, he should be throwing down more than he does

[sircalis]

meh, he gets the job done...he did lead all of ncaa d1 in field goal percentage..so he obviously knows something about what he is doing
