Person B, because of the increased leverage a higher center of gravity provides. That is - if they have the same structure, Person B will jump higher. But since you're saying they have the same VJ, that means they don't have the same structure so Person A will probably respond better to the fat loss.

But this is HIGHLY theoretical and you shouldn't ever worry about that since there are SOOO many other things to consider.

How do you get that...?

I mean, it's the same thing as tonsils infection (since they're also parts of the lymphatic system) just in another part of the body/different node?

For a person that has excess body fat, is it more advantageous to be top heavy or bottom heavy when starting out?

Example: Person A and person b are both fatass with 30% body fat.

A is top heavy, b is bottom heavy.  Who will make better progress based on given info.

What the fuck are you talking about? Progress on what? What info do you think you've provided there? Wait, wait, sorry, I've got it. Bottom heavy. No, wait, top heavy. Definitely top heavy, because once they start lifting weights, the top-heavy persons legs will have been stronger to begin with because they're farther from the ground, so their legs had to fight gravity more. Definitely that.

lol, I wasted 1/4 of a protein shake on the floor when I saw this btw

So if we want to sabotage Lance from now on, we have to make sure we send stupid PMs to him and flood him. Guaranteed he's losing weight if we do it.

So what's this... a combination of English-o-german-o-spanish?

nothing worse then stressing over being unwell.

You mean, like what I'm doing for the last 8 years?

For a beginner looking to increase explosiveness, would it be better to be top heavy or bottom heavy starting out?

What?

I have no idea. I like both a big butt and big breasts so I think both.

well somethingl ike wad joe says.

i think wad they were trying to say was ,, that if u strenghten your legs individually, the strength you can gain two legs movement will be more than strengthening both legs at the same time

well if anyone said that they would be extremely wrong..

training one limb only will lead to strength gains in the other limb, sure, it's a cross-learning effect.. how much you actually gain in the untrained limb, who knows.. but to strengthen movements that involve both legs at the same time, you need to overload movements that -------------> strengthen both legs at the same time.

These are shocking discoveries. BRB, noting them down.

Yeah probably squatting high bar or with partials is OK for one-leg jumpers as long as the volume of jumping is enough to maintain the form on the jumps (hip dominant) and not allow it to regress to a quad-dominant form because of weight training. There's still a big difference in movement and dynamics between jumping and strength work so only high volumes of quad-dominant strength work and low volumes of correct jumping probably can create that hip to quad dominant transition.

I assume you prefer a ROM that is specific to the jump ROM off one leg in terms of box height. Unfortunately, I don't have boxes in my gym (or any gym I can think of), I only have benches and if I'm to do them on the bench, that's ~ parallel depth.

Why do you favor the barbell variant vs. the pistol box squat variant with the weight held in hands in front of the body? I think one reason, if I'm to dig in, is that with the bar on the back there's even more weight on the back of the body so more glute/PC overload and another reason is that holding a weight in the arms in front of you can cause back problems.

Interestingly (and I need to film it) - I'm limited by shoulder strength with pistol box squats. I can hold a 25 kg plate at chest level and do a deep pistol box squat on my left leg, and it really feels extremely PC dominant (probably looks like that also, remember that pistol squat video of me) but I just can't hold that plate up there for more than a few seconds since my delts die after that so...

That's why maybe I should do both barbell single leg box squats in a workout and pistol box squats in another as a SPP thing.

PS. I need to film my cleans again... form is horrid.
