For me half squats are so much difficult vs full squats. So hard to stop and reverse at that 1/2 squat position ending.

I'm not sure why acole doesn't try a step-throurgh rotational plant... he'd have more time to apply more force.

I mean - it probably would be better if I'd focus on losing weight and getting towards ~75 kg and then start on building up muscle from that point on.
Obviously I've said this over and over in the past year or so... and never kept word on it... never got my bodyweight under 82 kg... weaksauce by me.

Right... but considering my body composition of the last few years and training history and all that - that's what I want to establish - if it's plausible or if I should work more on shedding down weight (fat if possible) and then start building muscle from a lower bodyweight value than where I am right now.

Haha yeah I know, I don't disagree, the first guy that came into my head (not literally, of course) was Shannon Brown. I'd like to be that kind of a guy athletically.
The question is - considering my frame, with my very thin bones and very thin joints - is that possible or is it overkill and possibly detrimental?
I'm sure both Shannon Brown and the guy in the video above don't have my thin bones and joints.

The question is - isn't ~90 kg too much for my bones/joints? It's like weighing a building with a small structure too much...
Now I know muscle actively contributes, absorbs shocks etc, but still.
And I don't tend to lose fat quickly.

Good. You can make good progress movement efficiency-wise by squatting very often. I squatted every day for a while and really got my squat up because I became so efficient at it, and then, once you're very efficient, you can really start to adapt muscularily (not just neurally) to that load since you're using a ton of weight at that point.
Obviously, just a way you can go, I'm not saying "go for it" but this is the way I got my squat up to 140x5. Sure, once I stopped squatting frequently it got down but I have a feeling that if I were to continue with that high frequency it would've been great. You can't help but adapt muscularily too considering you're moving a heavier weight so often.

Yeah but I'm pretty heavy already. Think about it... I'm 1.82m tall and 84 kg and I suck at upperbody lifts which means it's not a ton of upperbody muscle that I'm carrying either. Nightfly is 1.95m and 84 kg.
I should be at ~76 kg and then from there I could go up in weight but starting off at 84 kg ... isn't that a bit overkill, especially off one leg and at my bone structure?
(check this out, picture with Octavian Belu (head of Romanian Gymnastics team) back when I weighed 67 kg):

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Gaining muscle + strength detrimental to the one leg jump
« on: June 30, 2012, 04:48:40 pm »
I was wondering Lance, would me going on a way of increasing my strength while gaining weight (muscle) be bad for my one-leg jump or dangerous as far as bone/joint health (considering I have thin bones to begin with)?
I'm at ~84 kg now, but would me getting to 90 kg and gaining a ton of strength in the process be bad/dangerous since when I jump I'll put a lot more stress on the bones/joints with all that additional weight (could you imagine me doing maximal one leg jumps or single leg bounds at 90 kg bodyweight)?
I already am a power jumper off one leg anyway so... it could work as far as gaining strength/jumping higher off one leg is concerned. The other stuff is what I think about and I was wondering if you have any experience with this with your one-leg jumping athletes that you train/trained.
Thanks!
