When people talk about reactivity they should in reality talk about good or bad calf strength and good or bad glute strength.

Someone with bad calf strength will not be reactive. Someone with bad glute strength will not be reactive. Someone with huge quad dominance will not be reactive. Then obviously it's also a matter of structure (where even if the guy is weak, the alignment of his limbs does or does not overload certain weak areas).

Both the eagle and the kid were created in 3D animation and integrated in to the film afterwards.

Then it makes sense.

aite so how about this, once ive got 6x60 for both legs, i keep the stronger leg on 60 while progressing the weaker leg to say 70. Then progress them both from there at the same rate

 :derp:

No. You use the same weight for both legs, with the weak leg first. This way the weak leg gets to his maximum number of repetitions while the strong leg gets "some" training effect since it still does work but it doesn't go to failure like the weak leg does.

thinking out aloud .. what is the bss? it's a kind of unilateral exercise but not really since it's not a true single leg exercise that is kind of a squat but not really because it's not below parallel. so for it to be an effective leg exercise you kind of need to be lifting a weight >> 1/2*FS_max. Why? because being a partial squat, by giving up depth we use more weight. and by giving up true unilateralism we can use more weight than 1/2 the bilateral weight. so i should be looking at building up to say 100x6 on BSS to get something out of the exercise. hows my logik?

You think too much... you shouldn't worry about correlating exercises. You shouldn't think "If I front squat 100 kg does that mean that I can do the same work back squatting 120 kg or BSS-ing with 50 kg dumbbells?"

Too many parameters to correlate these exercises. You just need to worry about improving whatever lift you're aiming to improve. If you're improving then you're getting closer to your objective of improving athleticism.

You can't think like that. The effort for the weak leg will be bigger than the effort for the strong leg and slowly they will catch up.

I'm not sure if doing more volume for one leg is the smart way to go... I'd rather do the same volume for both but start with the weak leg first.

In between 0:08 and 0:10 the eagle looks like a CG object to be honest... he basically curves without banking/bending himself which looks pretty unrealistic but otherwise... too complicated/good physics/kid flying through the air etc to be fake.

Yeah because in a half squat workout you'll use a ligther weight. Oh wait...

Just gave respect for the pit bull posts. Raptor can suck a dick. Pit bulls are majestic bastards. Raptor on the other hand is just a bastard.

 :trolldance:

Want to suck a dick with me with skinny shithead? Ah forget it, you're not worth the effort.

I also think a set of 15-20 reps for pretty much anything after a heavy workout could help increasing the blood flow in those worked areas and thus help recovery and the uptake of built-up lactic acid there. So I sometimes do them at the end for recovery purposes as well.

I'd NEVER IN MY LIFE do that.

However, pitbulls are disgustingly ugly. I'd rather have a pig.

To me it looks like some lack of flexibility that's pulling one of your legs out of alignment or something. It could be weakness too, but you should feel that yourself.

Any idea what's your bodyfat right now? I know I've asked in the past but are you still dropping down on the bodyfat %?

How did the 32 kg KB swings felt like?
