Yea not sure why you would say they are worthless, they still build muscle in your legs. Squats are better but Leg press is still good.

I had severe tendoitis because at time i wouldnt even be able to walk. Well after going to the doctor they told me to stop playing ball for atleast 3-4 months or i would cause permanent damage to both my knees that would stop me from playing basketball for the rest of my life. So of course i stopped playing which meant no exercise for my legs at all and meaning i would lose the hops i had.

Now what i ask is what can i do to get some hops back in my legs. I mean i would like to dunk one day but im not asking that all right now. Id like to be able to jump again and easily grab rim. What can i do in the gym or at home to really help me out? Thanks.

^^u need to hit the books cuz thats totally off track and just wrong

to the leg presses thing,why not do squats?like redsox sed wen are u ever sitting down to jump,while in the squat ure achieving greater activation of muscles of the prosterior chain and it mimics the motion of the jump

Find a good basic program to start with like power plyos or get high or anything else. another good program is , but nobody knows where to buy it.
Start off slow but make sure you are fully recoverd before starting a program ask the doctor first.
You will have ur hops back in no time.
