Article & Video Discussion / Re: flying 101 in 2008 and barely can walk in 2014....

Would having a boner affect the center of gravity hence increasing the leverage against the spine putting the spine at risk?
Something to think about.

Don't you look at that and think "... could this... could this be a scam?"

In fact, I would say a "full" squat (below parallel or whatever) is more "comfortable" or "accessible" than a half squat.
Not sure how good that sounds for someone who wants to jump high. Every good jumper I know would disagree with this statement strongly (except for people like Kingfish or guys who jump very high from a standstill).

I don't think I could be able to half squat 140x5 with my 150 1RM.
By the way - where do you feel the "load" when you're doing the half squats? Like, do you feel the "knees" are loaded or the "hips" are loaded more? (yes, I know, very difficult to determine, but I definitely feel the knees loaded a heck-of-a-lot more than the hips)

Felt that at 30, quite a few times.

Maybe he can't walk.
Maybe his locomotion method is bounding on the left leg only.

Yes but if you discover a potential problem you should try to solve it and see if your performance increases even more. That's how records are made.

There's no logical reason why the right leg would be "stronger", statistically speaking, for right handed individuals. The natural movement for going for a jumpshot is a LR plant, with the right arm going upwards. Same with defensive stance: LR position with the right arm forwards.
The reverse is more true.
RL plants are used, in an almost exclusive fashion I suppose, by volleyball players because they can reach back with the right arm to spike the ball (similar for dunkers).
But my bet is that, statistically, LR is the more common way to plant/stay stable for right handed people.

Well there are a ton of factors at work. One of them is ankle dorsiflexion - you'll tend to jump better using the leg that has the better ankle dorsiflexion. Also, you'll tend to plant first the leg that has better quad strength/that you can pistol squat better onto. It also matters what kind of "hip control" you have on it, how well your body can extend using your arm (you can reach backwards with your right arm planting RL, but planting LR you just go "up" with your right arm which is a different movement).
And so on and so forth.
Personally, I think it's "natural" for right arm people to jump LR simply because that's the natural move going into a shot, and you also stay LR in the defensive stance position so that you can reach with your right arm forward.
So, assuming you're not already pre-programmed, being a right handed guy from an early age should in principle make you a LR planter.

I never get why people plant sideways... honestly, if you're a strength jumper you should plant forward as in a squat more or less, or deadlift.
I think people plant sideways to load a leg more than the other (the first planted leg loads a lot more, and the 2nd leg "blocks" the jump).
