Nice, good to see you're trying. IMO, you need to try to get faster and faster in the plant... that tension in the amortization phase will call your CNS to recruit more motor neurons to stop you from collapsing/change direction, and faster, and that means you won't have to voluntarily generate power as much as you do now. It also means the recruitment process (of a high % of motor neurons) begins much earlier (since the tension in the amortization phase is bigger due to the faster speed (m*a)) - which means you have more time to actually develop power.

When you come at a slow speed, maybe counter-intuitively, you won't demand a strong stretch response from the CNS and therefore you won't get a lot of recruitment in the amortization phase (just what's needed at that slow speed) - so you will need to voluntarily recruit a lot of motor neurons in the concentric phase only. And obviously the concentric phase only is less time to generate power than the eccentric+concentric phases together. So you have to be really good CNS-wise to do it.

But this can only be achieved by training in this manner... trying to get faster and faster in the plant, as soon as you have your steps right (your movement efficiency becomes better and better) - time to increase the speed in the plant.

What are you doing to lose weight?

What I meant is that maybe over time he'll start becoming a 1-2 planter...

You only really need to get your thumb over the rim to "dunk" it, and obviously synchronize the jump with the lob perfectly.

Plus if even if you limit kcal and you eat crappy, non-nutritious food, then you might actually lose muscle which in turn will lower your BMR and make you fatter as far as bodyfat% is concerned.
