By lift your heel up, do you mean literally do the squat on your toes/balls of your feet? Cause that would be crazy with any kind of weight on your back. Try using five-pound plates or a thin board to elevate your heels.

^^^ 70kg db floor presses are crazy. Add that to the list of strength feats I will never accomplish.

As strong as possible without your strength training interrupting your basketball training.

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.

AH, Ok.  So person B is in better current shape (for a leaper) and person A would respond better to fat loss/training because he would get rid of the lower body fat, as person B has less lower body fat to lose and more upper body fat to lose.

I have another great hypothetical. Best friends, one named George and the other named Andre. Who's likely to dunk first if they start training at the same time?

ok build your team around a 40 yr old MJ who has at the most 3 more years left...  you're obviously a tool lbss... get a life... lol

MJ was top-heavy at that point, so obviously was in a better position to improve than bottom-heavy Rip Hamilton. Obviously you are a fucking retard.

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.

Rip wasn't on the Wizards in 02-03. In the one year he and Jordan played together, 01-02, Rip shot 41% from the field and 28% from three and had almost a 1:1 assist/TO ratio. So yeah, definitely the kind of player you want to be building a team around.

What is it you do for a living?

I work in international development. The programs I manage deal primarily with disaster risk reduction and humanitarian assistance, so, for example, responding comprehensively to the flooding in Pakistan. Although if you ask adarq, I'm a spy for the CIA.

I want/need:
  • a scale
  • a tiger tail
  • a different place to do jumps

Tiger tail like from vinnie the pooh?


Tiger tail like this:



Also, lol @ "vinnie" the pooh. You Europeans...
