very nice progress markus, form looked good.

how much weight loss he down to now?

pC

last time he weighed himself he was "only" -11kg. but the tape measure says that he lost more fat than that, so he seems to be building some muscle

It's weird that he trusts staying in the same room with you. Now that's bravery!

Oh boy he was really lucky on these!

Yeah I'll try it, see what happens. Should be better for my structure for sure. It's for a deadlift what a wide stance squat is for a ... squat

Yeah it was visual. He could get about 2 inches over the rim, and then on the 2nd jump, he got almost the whole palm over the rim (definitely over the half of the palm).

I'll have sweet dreams from now on.

Yes it does. I want you to pay attention to your defensive stance, to how you set yourself feet wise to push a heavy object (a car for example), off what leg do you depth drop, with what leg you kick etc. These are all good indicators of what is the "control" or "rotation" leg.

For example, when I defend in the defensive stance, I am positioned in a LR stance so my right arm is forward so I can jump for a block with my right arm forward. When I'm to push a car, I put my left foot forward so I can drive on it, so basically that's also a LR stance. When I depth drop, I drop off the box from the right leg. When I kick, I use my right leg to kick so the left leg is used as a rotation leg (same as in a LR plant).

Like I said, these are good indicators of what your body automatically prefers.

Haha you like East 17? I do too

I agree with what you say... I naturally plant LR, do depth jumps LR etc, but I like to jump RL. It feels "nicer". I have a weaker right leg though. Or, I think so.

Well in terms of overall volume I try to keep the depth jumps ground contacts to 40 per week. So 20 in one workout, 20 in the other. Not sure if "ground contact" counts as the landing for the subsequent depth jump as well (so 2 ground contacts for 1 depth jump rep).
