You look "heavy" in that video, I'm not kidding or anything, your legs look big or something.

I read that IRC log, no idea what is that all about

PS. Actually I do, but...

Well if he had the strength to safely do off the backboard Avishek drops then he probably could jump pretty high as well is my guess. We all know how efficient bone-wise Avishek drops are.

Weird. Never expected you'd have a different head.

Maybe, but my point of this thread is that I bend forward at the waist when I jump, not necessarily when I squat. It also happens in the deadlift. I just can't sink well at the hips - I've seen people that do that so well without getting out of position or balance, they just sink into their hips backward with almost no forward knee transition (for an extreme, think Steve Cotter).

If you put me to do that I'd definitely bend forward or I'd fall back. Cotter was talking about the lower abs not firing or something like that to prevent the falling back from happening. So the issue is with jumping... my natural tendency when jumping off two feet is not to throw my legs forward and jump (and involve the hips) but to plant my legs under me as in a standing VJ and jump like that, which automatically means bend at the knees a lot. If I want to jump with hip involvement I have to think about that before the jump (actually before the run-up itself) so it's not natural but voluntary.

single leg is indeed more demanding and applies more pressure on the whole leg and body, u're not used to it yet i guess

I disagree, I can jump endlessly off one leg, but off two, after a few tries, I'm burned out. Totally inefficient.

I think they parked it there just to test your VJ...
