When my injury is gone I am going to start VJB. My friends know I cant dunk (I can get 2 inches above the rim). Since I am not gonna be playing this season, Ima work on my jumping. I just wanna surprise them and dunk out of nowhere. Can someone answer all these question please. Ima 1 leg jumper.

1. Since Ima start training and can get 2 inches above the rim right now, is it good for me to start Novice Weights and Beginner Plyos? (I did 4 weeks of AA3)

2. In VJB for novice weightlifting it has 1 legged calf raise. So if my right foot is up I will hold on to something with my right hand. And while doing calf raises on my left leg I will hold the dumbell in my left hand, correct? If not can someone explain.

3. Even though I cant squat 1.5x my body weight will I just start beginner plyos with the novice weights at the same time?

4. How often do I increase my weight?

5. If my gym does not have a glute-ham raise can I do leg curl instead on phase 2 of novice weights?

6. Is Doing 80% of my max on squats and deadlifts is good, or is it 80% of how much you weigh?
