 A big penultimate, very solid block on that right foot. We're gonna hear first in the dump life. Stevie Pioneer's out here, you guys know that. And it'll catch on. Mind, body, spirit, or as I would just say, body, mind, spirit in that order. Oofa! Some people call it an empty gym. I call it heaven. High energy, empty gym, and a haircut. Mmm. Be nice to your body. The nicer you are to the body, the better it responds. Don't rush the warmup. I forgot my tape measure. This was 9'9", but they fixed it. It could be 9'10", but we'll just keep it on 9'9". But either way, we're banging. Oh! Like I said on Dunk Tip Tuesday, do what you gotta do today. Have the best day you can have now. Don't try to do the most today. Do the best today. Did you guys see Nico Dunk off from, like a friggin' squat, weird squat? Basically a walk-up. So what I did there was, my technique off the dribbles really hard to get perfect, but my lob is good. So I still wanted to do a drop step and of course, a small approach to really focus on that last step without extending the penultimate. So I did a self-bounce. Perfect. Just noticing that if I was more warm, I would do a high check. Maybe later. Bye! It's taking me a while to warm up. That's okay. Noticed on the self-bounce how I was really on top of my, both of my feet straight away and then on a dribble dunk, definitely hesitating off the hamstring getting. When I add more speed, I start to hesitate. So just being super aware of that so I make sure to not push it and stay in that stimulus sweet spot. Let's take a deep dive into the dribble dunk's versus the lob dunk's, let's go. All right, so if we look here, this lob dunk felt the best of the day and as soon as I did it, I did a lob dunk, I mean, a dribble dunk, trying to emulate that same feel. Now, as you see, I get way higher off the lob dunk so let's see why and let me show you what I'm carving in my dribble dunks that I have to unlearn and how I'm trying to relearn the right pattern so I can jump my best. So the good patterns of my lob dunk, look where I'm pushing off from. My left foot is over, almost at the free throw line and I'm not even running that fast. I'm still rusty. I'm still coming back from this hamstring strain and I have a big penultimate, very solid block on that right foot, almost perfect, a little slightly bent. I'm hesitating because it hurts that hamstring to block all that speed and stop all that speed and I go very, very upright with the ball. My positioning is very good. Both legs bend, which is just a sign that the energy transferred through both my legs balanced and I love that symmetric dunk back rimmed it. It's okay. So now, when I go to the dribble dunk, try to do the same thing, but if you look, look how much further my left foot is forward. I didn't know this doing it. I'm just trying to be as aggressive but with the lob dunks, it's very natural. I'm very aggressive. I'm looking up at the ball. I'm just attacking. So I try to bring that into my dribble dunks. Now the good part is, is I did block pretty well, pretty straightforward foot. I do not, I don't use my arm swing so I'm very emphasizing my leg. So that's why I'm hesitating even more and that's why it twists out even more and I don't get that same block as my lob dunks and I go up pretty balanced and symmetric. Good timing with the rim, another back rim, but not nearly as high. So what I can learn is taking off even faster, taking off even further, pushing off this left leg even more, because I'm thinking so much about the jump that I'm forgetting about the push into the take, the takeoff in the plant. So that's something I wanna learn with my dribble dunks and the more I add my dribble dunks if I'm taking off from here with my dribble dunks and snapping the way I have such a big penultimate and snap right up. If I do that off the dribble, I'll be jumping really well and the thing is I have to unlearn the habits of jumping too close and looking at the rim and jumping there and taking what I know and re-carving that lob technique into my dribble dunk technique. So I hope that helps and a side note, Dunk Elite sent me these. So let me know if you wanna see a full dunk review, dunk shoe review with these, but these are sexy and I'm about to try these out, break them in. I may break them in and just save them for a dunk camp. That'd be nasty, but super pumped. Thank you so much. This is awesome. Stay tuned for possibly more work with Dunk Elite in the future. Your boy's blowing. There you go. Happy with that. Thank you. Oh, oh yeah. With the left. Oh shit. There you go. One of the good things is that when I watch the video, I look like I'm going fast, but I feel like I'm barely trying. So I just feel like when I go full speed or when I'm feeling the adrenaline go full speed, I'll be like, get up boy. You ready? You're right there though. Yeah. Hello. I'm good. Hey. This is the last time I have like one high day for every four days. My energy's always good and I feel healthy, but I can't have that extreme peak of a jump day of a jump day. That's fine. Putting good work today onto the next. Ah, basically as high with the full approach. That's what I wanted. I got the bounce in me. I just got to use it correctly. For the trifecta. What's up? Yeah. Dude, I probably want Instagram. That's dope dude. Yeah. You put some down? I love it. Warm up, warm up. Take your time, take your time. Take your time. Ooh. Not even warm. Now I got to make one. Now he's going again. Court awareness. Get up boy. Warm up a bit, warm up a bit. Take a breath, take a breath. Ooh fuck. I got to get one. Look up the whole time. There it is. Trying to yam it. How tall are you? There you go. Up there. What's your name? Oh, nice. How tall are you making those? You're not going to be able to get them off. There it is. Too easy. There you go. Keep cooking. Don't let your body sit for a second. I'm sitting right now, but I'm giving you energy. So it's still amplifying. Point is try to stay focused and disciplined and build your dreams and live limitless.
