A few vids from yesterday, notice the differences in the gather with the mini ball and the size 5 ball:

In my opinion, and it seems that I'm alone in this - if you're a one-leg jumper you can get away without having too much posterior chain strength if you have great quad strength. If you are able to transform the horizontal movement into a vertical movement, and that's done with the help of the quads, then you can use a long run-up in which you build up speed (and therefore you have initial force) and then just switch it vertically.

If you run fast towards the plant point and are able not to collapse at the knee, I don't think you need that much posterior chain strength to jump very high.

Well the most scary ones are the repetitive ones.

The most times I've had a dream was related to the subway where two trains collide or something bad happens. I dreamed this more than 10 times.

Another often happening nightmare is the one where I walk on the street and a huge storm comes and gets me off the ground through the air. I've also have this one for several times.

I also had, for a few times, the one where I drive a car... weird.

I had a dream last night that I went to a party with Nightfly and some other people in a car, and the party was being held in an abandoned industrial zone. Everything broken down etc.

So we entered the "building" and we were given, each one of us, one wooden baby dummy. The guy who gave it to us told us that we need it later when we're going to break beer bottles with it (?).

And then as the party went on I started to feel strange, a lot of weird punkers and people with drugs were there, so I wanted to leave. Moving on through the building I entered a room, a gigantic room that looked like a supermarket, and there were just TURTLES with names attached to them on the neck, and also leashes around the neck. Those were former people that used to party in that building and they were transformed into turtles.

So once I entered the room all the turtles started moving and falling off the shelves and coming towards me. The end.

Well he's a foot fetishist so he dresses all white to be able to admire himself in the mirror. It's perfectly normal, I tell you.

Check these plants out, at the same moment of the jumping push-off, check how the knee goes out for great jumpers vs. me:

I haven't watched football (or soccer as you call it) in such a long time... but this was a very good game to watch.

Well they invite the "best" dunkers that are around, Romanian in origin. Then they invite special guests like world renown dunkers (Guy, Golden Child, Ziani etc). So since Nightfly is a good dunker he got in. We meet with the organizers of the competition ... I wrote some articles for them for free... just to promote the event... and so on.

And yeah Golden Child is crazy. But they all look "genetic"... (although it's hard to put a finger on what they have as superior to us) - they're all smooth and efficient, and not necessarily strong (at least in the traditional way).

You bet it would. It's nothing you can really control though, but it's not very common as well.

I think the problem is that people take great quads for granted.
