Ankle Weights?
Anyone use them before? Any results? I have em lying in my house somewhere and wonder if I should put them to use.
Also word on the street is that they can fuck up your knees. I don't want to risk anything just to jump a bit higher cuz I already got more hops than beer  .
All advice is appreciated but not really.

Re: Ankle Weights?
nah they wont fuck up your knees,its not like you're wearing them 24 hours a day for years.they do help in burning more calories,since your body is holding more weight,and your heart rate will get up quicker,but at the same time,your performance will decrease in whatever you're doing.if you feel like putting in the extra effort to finish your workout in a shorter period of time,then use them.

Re: Ankle Weights?
They'll help yea. Just pratice your usual jumping drills with them on. My housemate who plays basketball used to use em. He's like 5'7" and can dunk no probs. The cunt.

Re: Ankle Weights?
I don't suggest doin drills with weight on - or at least I'd suggest to stop as soon as there is any pain. I put my body, esp my knees and legs through so much already, gotta stay smart. Anyway, I don't have much time on my hands, I might go into details a lil later on - tell me about yourself first here so I know who I'm talkin to. How many times a week do you pratice? Do you play in a team or "just" streetball? Do you lift weights? How tall are you and how much do you weight, etc etc etc.

Re: Ankle Weights?
I used to walk around with them on, and stay on my toes as much as possible, some poeple look at you funny but thats nothing really. It works, you wont be like oh shit I gained 3" of vert, more like I feel I can spring quicker and hang more. I'd almost compare it to doin push ups.

Re: Ankle Weights?
I've known people that used them, but don't know of any successful results.
