I do a ton of elbow passes and I'm pretty accurate with them when I play... always wows other guys.

He really throws his legs forward out there in the plant.

yeah but with my back supported on the end of a bench.

That's a hip thrust. Very nice that you started doing them.

Hey, don't count on many "Me and my crow" stories. Maybe just 3 or 4.

I could never get this "lying thing". I'd always say the truth and if that bothers her then fuck off bitch. I find it retarded to pretend I'm something I'm not, or to change my behaviour for some random bitch.

Should we say "no" to bench pressing?

IMO you can go much safer with pushups/weighed pushups/elevated feet pushups.

It's called "Photoshop".

Fun.

1) How good am I consecutive maximal height ankle bounces?
Meh, probably average.
2) How good am I at maximal vert jump off a medium box?
Meh, probably average.
3) How good am I at short GCT vert jump (DJ over hurdles) off a medium box?
Meh, probably average.
4) How good is my full squat with perfect form?
Pretty good, ~2xbw
5) How proficient am I at hip thrusts, GHR, RDLs?
Don't know, not proficient by definition.
6) How powerful is my snatch and power clean compared to my squat?
See (5)
7) How good are my bounds, how smooth do they look?
Single-leg bound are turrible. DL bounds average.
8 ) How much more quad or hip involvement do I get in a SVJ?
About even.
9) How does my plant leg looks like when planting for a one-leg VJ?
Inconsistent; never great, sometimes very bad. Better than six months ago, though.
10) How much speed do I get into my running VJs?
Depends on the day. Usually not enough.
11) Compare broad jump to consecutive 2-leg bounds;
Consecutive broad jump is farther but not by a lot.
12) Compare a single jump squat height to a 1-2 jump squat;
Don't understand the question.
13) Compare your running single leg VJ to your running double leg VJ;
Big difference, DL is at ~5" higher.
14) Are you a very fast sprinter?
No.

Lay it on me, Raptor. What's my Rx? I'm gonna ask this in my planning thread, too.

Well...

First off, at 12), a single jump squat means you go down and jump up, like a regular, normal jump. The 1-2 jump squat is made with a little hop upwards, allowing for more calf load to occur (and more overall load too).

Anyway,

1), 2), 3), 4), 8), 9), 10), 11), 13) all contain the calf component and a quad component in a way or another. Off all these, 2), 4), 8) are more heavily into the quad component while the rest depend to the calf quite a bit more than 2), 4), 8) (obviously they don't completely exclude either the calf nor the quad, but either one is more important in these scenarios).

You can see that you display a good squat number, you get 50-50 (according to you at least) in the SVJ in between hips and quads (probably meaning the quads are strong enough) but you're not that good when it comes to adding the calves into the equation - 1), 3), 9), 10), 11), 13)

We can therefore conclude your calves might be lacking, or you're simply not very efficient in terms of lower leg ability/tendon stuff/plyos, or your structure isn't optimal for you to express such displays of reactive ability.

If you take 7) though, which is more of a calf+hip thing, you're still bad, with terrible single leg bounds and average double leg bounds, meaning you could suck in terms of calves (again) and/or glutes/hips.

14) tells you might be lacking in hamstring strength, which could also be holding you back (compound that with lack of calf strength/ankle stiffness and you get your ugly bounds and bad 1-leg jumping).

Since we have no info on 5) and 6), we can't really know how well developed is the posterior chain, but my guess is, considering your not so great 2-leg bounding difference in between a broad jump and the consecutive 2-leg bound that (besides the obvious lack of ankle/lower leg ability) you might be lacking in glute power since the glutes should be better primed in terms of position from the landing of a broad jump (in a consecutive 2-leg bound) to generate more power so...

You basically end up with strong quads, possibly weak glutes, weak hamstrings and weak calves. Obviously you need to take all this with a grain of salt since your structure might have something to do with your display of ability in certain events, but limiting the analysis to only this empirical thing, that's what you get.
