Default MrPrince VJB journal

alright so my story is that i'm 6'4'', weigh 187 punds, but can't dunk, cause i can't jump. reason for that could well be that back when i was like 12/13, my kneecap in my right knee jumped out three times. my knee is fine now though and i gotta start working on my jumping.
so i'm doing the beginner plyos along with the novice strength program, also i heard that u get better results if u use jumpsoles for the first two sets of each exercise, so i'm gonna do just that.
for the next two weeks though, i don't have access to any wieght room, so i'm gonna do the plyos on their own.
my schedule will look like this:

first week:

monday-off
tuesday-plyos
wednesday-off
thursday-plyos
friday-off
saturday-plyos
sunday-off

second week:
monday-plyos
tuesday-off
wednesday-plyos
thursday-off
friday-plyos
saturday-off
sunday-off

from then on:
monday-lower body workout, practice (basketball), plyos
tuesday-off
wednesday-practice
thursday-basketball (just playing for fun, doing some drills)
friday-lower body workout
saturday-off
sunday-off

what do u think?

update: just finished doing th epylos for the first time, my legs feel kinda weak now, but i'm feeling fine. workout waws tough as hell, but felt good. i skipped the 4-star drill since i dont know how to do it, even though i read the description. i also didn't use jumpsoles cause i'm not sure whether i should do it, because i keep hearing that its bad for your knees and stuff.

so til next thursday
oh and also, could somebody explain to me how to do the 4 star drill?

wow 6.4??? thats high.. but anyways i really recommend you to do single leg depth box jumps but dont use very high boxes just the one that u think ur ready for.. that is for me the single best exercise to strenghten ur legs.. but thats just me.. and i got 3 inches in two weeks by doimg that.. but is up to you offcourse..

alright, so i don't know if anyones even reading this lol, but i just started my week 2 program yesterday, and it's pretty much just doing 3 sets of everything instead of just 2, it's tougher though, my thigs are really sore know, but it doesn't matter because i know the program's working .

good luck, u might want to add a strength program tho, it could double your gains. and its just 1 extra workout a week. have u noticed any change in your jump?

yeah i'm gonna add the strength program next week. like i said in my first post, i couldn't do it for the first two weeks, cause my gym is closed over the holidays.
and idk if my jump changed at all yet, but i'm not expecting anything yet, since i've only completed week 1 so far.
