This is from that Jackass show on MTV, right? ;D

I mean, I hope it is (I know it isn't :P)

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Kingfish

Whenever I think about Kingfish's potential it boggles my mind. But I still don't get - why do you use such a high % of your 1RM. I mean, I understand the talk about the controlled amortization phase, but do you plan to use less (say 30%) and get off with that (jump up with it)? Heck, you could use even less if it bothers your back or do DJs and it's going to help.

Introduce Yourself / Re: Norwegian Girl

Well yeah, you don't. He's more of a unilateral jumper (like, much more) and the special thing about him are probably his tendons/tendon stiffness, but he also has great strength. It depends on how you define "strength" though. I mean, he was doing stepups with 200 kg at 70 kg bodyweight.

He's very technically sound and has extremely good take-in put-out elastic ability.

You really play that? If so, what do you need to be good at for that? Short distance sprints? Throwing power? What?

WTF? Oh boy, I need to stop squatting then! :o

Or better yet, I need to stop getting heavy!

Lance was hinting towards hamstring differences. He said to Nightfly he should do leg curls with feet pointed in different directions (inside or outside) to fix that.

The squat effect, I guess.

You should film some one leg jumps of yourself now and compare to older videos.

You ended a LR planter because you probably jump a lot to block shots with your right arm. If you do that, you're going to jump LR so that the right arm is forward to reach towards the jump shooter. Also, shooting off the dribble is usually a LR plant so that the right arm is a bit forward. That skateboard thing, and pretty much anything else - is very indicative of your natural stable position. A stable position is a good position to jump off from.

Whenever I look at Vince (Carter) jumping for a block, he plants RL and goes up with his left hand, because he naturally plants RL. And you can see that in his block shot jumps as well.

PS. My therapist commented on how much more developed my right forearm is. No idea why.

I don't play basketball.

You could've spare both me and you some time and offer the answer to the question "what do you play?"

Yeah, I do that too. I feel like stumbling if I try a 360 or over the back with a LR plant...

PS.

That looks really high... if you would've pulled your heels to the butt, that would've looked incredible. :ninja:

How much have you practiced your two footed jump since you were pretty much an exclusive one-leg jumper?

Pushing a Heavy object - Right foot forward
2-foot jump plant - LR
Kick - Left leg
Starting sprint stance - Right leg forward
1 foot jumping leg - Right leg

All the bolded stuff suggests you should jump RL. Let me ask you something else: what way do you stand on a skateboard? Although I don't have a skate or use one, when I fooled around with one I was beyond any doubt standing on it in a LR stance, with the left leg on it and the right leg pushing into the ground. That's solid with my natural LR plant.
