I have done AAIII 3 times already. 1st time, I stopped at week 7. 2nd time, I stopped at week 9. 3rd time, I stopped at week 14. I had a 27' vert before starting AAIII. Afterwards, my vertical increased into the mid 30's. (Last time I did it was last summer)

I'm currently on "Intermediate full Reactive focused program" from VJB. I am on Phase II week 3. Before starting this program, I could touch the top of the rim with my fingers but could not hang/pull down the rim. I am able to do so now.
With that in mind, I have a few questions.

Is it okay to use a Smith's Machine to do my iso-metric squats, regular squats, jump squats, barbell lunges, and barbell splits?

What are odds of me climbing into the 40+ range to throw it down?

What is the difference between iso-metric and iso-ballistic squats?

Thanks for any input
how long did it take you from 27in to about 30in to 34in you know hops
