Great stuff here all around. I love Adarq's attitude. I know there is a little controversy (at least in my mind) between Adarq's desire to remain very lean and still gain a lot of strength while Kellyb has written about the fact that size is often necessary for improvements in strength over time. Adarq, I too feel a lot better while being lean.  Maybe I have some research on this site to do, so  forgive me if I am asking a question that you have already addressed, but what are some of you eating strategies to remain very lean and still stay strong.  Paleo sounds like a great option, and knowing you are a scientist and your talk about being like an animal, I will guess that is how you chow.  ???

Also, you posted about an experiment involving plyos with a weight vest in bball players that worked. Do you ever use it?

Thanks.

I am 5'5, 140-145 (I have eating problems clearly) - my best back squat is 300 deep, I have short legs.  I have about a 27 inch RVJ and my running vert off of one leg is about 31 at its peak.  I have pronation knee valgus issues so perhaps I leak some power.  I am OBSESSED with touching rim-then I will worry about dunking. I have always been blessed with endurance traits and never power. Quick feet and fast hands, but never explosive. Anytime my squat goes up my jump does as well like many others.  My standing reach is 7'1. I have 6-7 inches to touch rim off one leg.  Body weight should definitely be lowered.

Good to be hear.
