In Romania, the best court in the country for basketball is probably worse than a high school court in the USA. This for the entire country of ~23 million people.

Yeah, go for it. He probably also knows someone in sprinting, so explain to him what you're interested in.

I consider the snatch grip deadlift a "full deadlift"... you even get quad recruitment at a pretty decent level.

Big glutes back then would've definitely helped now!

Can't you just buy a weighing machine with that crap that measures lowerbody electric resistance or something? At least it would be yours and you could mess around with it at home. Yes, it will suck, but it's better than paying 25$ lol

If you were to get at 75 kg and then start building up your strength with a low bar squat and a front squat, so that your leverages matter less, and focused on a more "clean" muscle gain, then maybe you'd get more athletic. That's what I mean.
Nobody said that a low bar squat can't be more vertical. Just ask vag and his criticism of my low bar "pretty vertical" squats, that were annoying me that they weren't "good for quad development".

It depends on how you define "strong". If you train the right way and develop the right muscles that have to do with both athleticism and "squat strength", then you should be fine.
I don't remember exactly why you don't low bar squat if you complain about leverages... but it probably has to do with you putting the "squatmorning" term out there and totally ditching the low bar squat as a "bad squat" for athleticism.
If you complain about leverages, then use a low bar squat and solve the problem.

Then why not try to get to that 75 kg athletic body with a low bodyfat and then start building up from there. Start to add muscle with minimal bodyfat gain (that will be difficult). But if you start from a good position of low bodyfat and light bodyweight (and get there from where you are now trying to maintain your strength as much as possible) - and work your way up to say a 80-82 kg bodyweight with a 2x squat, then you'd be a MUCH better athlete than you are right now.
The problem, obviously, is that in order to do what I'm writing in here you have to "deconstruct" yourself and build yourself up again from "zero", but where "zero" is a better place than when you first started training because now you have the strength training experience and the knowledge to do it.
This is the plan for myself, and we'll see if I'm able to do it (I have big reserves in my success but I'll try anyway).

It has to be weight loss. Reactive training usually amounts to 2-5% of results.

Ankle weights? Why not a weight vest?
