But your form looked good and you were much closer to dunking with the ball in hand than off two feet the last time you attempted one-leg jumps.

It matters if you have ovaries as far as bodyfat measuring goes?

Deadlifts give you a big waist as much as squats give you a big biceps. In fact, squatting can actually be a better stimulus for overall body growth (including the biceps) than the deadlifts are for a "big waist".

Yeah^^^

That's why I did only a 3x3 instead of a 9x3 in the speed day on the half squat. Way too much volume if I do 9x3. But a 3x3 with 120, 110 and 100 kg going for speed is fine IMO. Otherwise, cleans and snatches during this speed day.

Yeah I know what you mean. Well, I'll time my 800m when I get to the track but I have a feeling that it will be a major dissapointment ;D

I don't know what "being in shape" means anyway. It's just an expression people use to describe you getting tired easly or something. But what defines someone as "being in shape"? Doing what?

I'm still dissapointed I haven't seen a one leg jump from you for quite some time... you had a thing going on with that. I don't get why you don't practice it more... speaking of which, what about calf development and strength?

Now now, don't be disrespectful... she's a woman, she has the right to say anything to you, to abuse you, you name it. Not having a dick in her pants gives her that right. You betcha!

How much quad dominant would you say you are?

I've heard people say that sprinting is also isometric in nature, maybe due to short ground contact time. don't have links

That's because it is, but once the top speed is achieved. That's why a top speed sprint is closer to the one leg jump while the acceleration part of a sprint is closer to the two footed jump (where voluntary concentric power is important).

You need to dorsiflex when you bound, which you currently don't. That's why you have knee issues (at least if you always bound like you did here). You kept the ankle extended here and landed in plantar flexion which loads the knee up like a bitch. You need to land with the foot more under you than in front of you and that will also allow you to dorsiflex better.

Nah it's more of a technical analysis about one-leg jumping. Some people aren't aware of what they do wrong technically when they jump off one leg. Also, it's a good resource of true plyometrics and programming.
