This ^^^

Andre Miller might not be the most explosive guy in the world but he sure moves around the court pretty well.

Years and years is pushing it too far.

That fluidness you talk about is a function of strength, structure, posture and movement efficiency. You can affect strength, posture and movement efficiency, and you're left with your genetic predetermined structure. Improving 3 out of 4 will still get you far in that department of "fluidity".

It's also thought that these people have great core strength, but in reality they have great SYSTEMIC strength or OVERALL strength. It's similar with people with big upperbodies... some guys just say that big upperbody makes them jump higher "oh look at the guns on that guy" but in reality... it's just how they're genetically made up in their ENTIRE BODY (including legs).

At the other end of the spectrum there's the upperbody-obsessed bodybuilders which don't... well let's just say they don't move very well.

What's up with the newspaper?

Yup, they determine neural plasticity and rewiring so... that's the idea. Obviously you want to perform the optimal movement patterns every time since you want the optimal moving patterns to occur without you thinking about it (and without developing bad habits).

That's why in jumping there is such a thing as submaximal jumping initially.

You need to look at a progression of the snatch... probably the best bet is to watch the Glenn Pendlay ones.

Yes, by increasing movement efficiency. To do that you need to practice those movements again and again until they become ingrained and you can move the way you say.

It's the same as dancing, pretty much. If you want to dance smoothly you NEED to dance. You can't just train with other stuff, you need to do that particular movement.

Man dreams are awesome because they are SO unpredictable... they go beyond random imagination.

I think reading dreams is even funnier.
