Everything we do is geared for fast twitch muscle fibers. They really are the only fibers that respond to hypertrophy, really. Otherwise marathon runners on caloric surplus would "develop slow twitch fibers" and get big, bulgy slow twitch physiques.

Com'on. Why not? It's not like if you'll do a reactive jump you'll break down and be done with 10000 injuries. It would be interesting to know what your actual MAX vert is, with the added reactive bonus (if any).

How much would you gain off an one-step plant or with a rotate-on-the-planted-leg and jump?

Well I guess I can get one positive thought out of this - for me the holidays have always been just another day.

Yes but the adaptability of the hip flexors is much lower than the overall weight gain of the legs. The same applies to the calves - one important reason why when you get heavier you'll be a worse one leg jumper is because the calves rarely get adapted to being stronger as you gain all that weight, and therefore being heavier = more overload to pretty much the same strength level for the calves = more collapse of the jumping leg.
The calves can't keep up getting stronger as the same rate as you gain weight, just as much as the hip flexors can't keep up getting stronger at the same rate as the legs are getting heavier.

I have a friend who's (or was, at the time) ~106 kg. We played some ball and at one point, this guy comes in, puts his hands under my friend's arms and takes him off the ground, and moves him someplace else. Wtf?

Dark sand cascades on Mars:
Quote
They might look like trees on Mars, but they're not. Groups of dark brown streaks have been photographed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on melting pinkish sand dunes covered with light frost. The above image was taken in 2008 April near the North Pole of Mars. At that time, dark sand on the interior of Martian sand dunes became more and more visible as the spring Sun melted the lighter carbon dioxide ice. When occurring near the top of a dune, dark sand may cascade down the dune leaving dark surface streaks -- streaks that might appear at first to be trees standing in front of the lighter regions, but cast no shadows. Objects about 25 centimeters across are resolved on this image spanning about one kilometer. Close ups of some parts of this image show billowing plumes indicating that the sand slides were occurring even while the image was being taken.

Make his thighs heavier, see how well he does on the ladder drill.
This reminds me of the moment when I see very skinny (especially with bone-like legs) guys in the gym doing easy leg raises. I'm like "well, OK, let's see how easy you'd do them if you were to have my leg weight".

So basically it's harder to do them seated?
Because man, I struggle with 15 kg dumbbells to do a few reps and you do 10 reps with 18 kg dumbbells. But again, my elbows flare out a ton, my arms don't go straight up.

What's the difference between seated dumbbell OHP and standing? In your case. Is it easier to do them seated?

It depends on too many parameters, and then there's the element of human psychology... every once in a while you just want to take a night off and "take it easy".
I think the Rockets went on a 33-game winning streak a few years ago. That might've been quite a few years ago, actually. It's crazy when you think how fast time flies by.
