You could do kettlebell swings intervals - great for both power, hip recruitment and fat loss.

I can never visit this thread, lel. I always watch the games recorded, during the next day or night, so I can't visit this until I do.

Am I wrong in assuming the soleus assists the quads in transferring energy towards the ground? If the soleus muscles, in the plant position that Myree displays above, would be weak, then the heels would collapse and there would be "no medium" through which the quads could "push through" towards the ground. The gastrocnemius muscles are in active insufficiency in that position, so only the soleus can do the job there.
Am I missing anything?

Yeah, in fact, I brought on this exact point talking about Myree's plant in another thread, lel.
How strong was Eddie in the calf raise variations when you were training him, Andrew? Was he getting complete ROM on his standing/seated calf raises? And if so, what were the ratios to his bodyweight?

Is it worth doing them for athleticism, knowing only the soleus works in the seated version?

What are you using these for? I mean, it's not like your soleus needs that much of a load.

That is correct. Also, to strengthen the abs. It's interesting, but as Toddday was alluding to some time ago, some APT is good, because when you run/jump, the squeeze you get from the glutes will actually put you into neutral pelvic tilt, which is optimal. If you were in neutral pelvic tilt from the get go, the glute squeeze would've put you into posterior pelvic tilt, which would be sub-optimal.

Usually, people with anterior pelvic tilt tend to jump well off one leg. However, APT also associates with low back pain, whereas posterior pelvic tilt associates with knee pain.

Marberry is 5'5 (if he really is) - that's 1.65 meters tall. Rim is at 3.05 - he needs to jump 1.40 m to be head to rim. That's 55.11 inches.

This reminds me of people that want to demonstrate that they have hamstring flexibility and that they can touch the floor with their hands etc. When in reality, they don't bend at the hips from a point on, they just bend their back and continue on bending it, with the hips doing nothing. From the point on, the hamstrings are not influenced by what's going on, so it's not a display of hamstring flexibility, but of erector spinae flexibility.
