Pushing a Heavy object - Right foot forward
2-foot jump plant - LR
Kick - Left leg
Starting sprint stance - Right leg forward
1 foot jumping leg - Right leg

I'm right handed and jump much higher off my right leg than my left. Also, my handle (such as it is) is much better with my left hand than with my right. When I do jumps at the rim I reach with my left hand, because my shoulder is higher on that side so I can reach higher.

The differences are huge, too. I was never much of a soccer player but when I'm messing around left leg is a lot more powerful and a LOT more dexterous (see what I did there?) than right. Even popping a basketball up to myself off the ground, left foot is automatic. Dribbling with my left hand is MUCH more comfortable than with my right hand, although admittedly I suck at both. LR plant is probably twice as good as RL plant, shit just gets awkward when I try to go RL. Sprint isn't quite so much of a difference in terms of which foot starts forward, but in a race I would definitely do right foot forward.

Interesting thread.

Which one is he?

Lady and gentlemen, we have our first troll! Might I be the first to roll out the welcome mat?

WELCOME, SIR!*

I'm only disappointed that he's not less of a complete fucking retard.

*I'm assuming male gender here, could be wrong.

did 'em yesterday, so skipped

- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2) - if feel very stale, 1-step lead ins

- ME MR halftuck: 5 x 5

- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5

depth jumps 4x3 == first two sets were good, third set awful, fourth set okay

- SQUAT: 4 x 5
275,275,275,275 == one of the trainers at the gym gave me some props on my progress on these. i don't think he has any idea what i'm talking about. 4x5x305 will be okay. this is not.

- S1: dips @ 3 x AF
+33 X10,10,11(F)

- S1: pullups @ 3 x AF
9,6,4 == WTF?!?!? regressing on these. also i noticed much more than i have before the asymmetry in the way my shoulders rotate on the way up. gonna have to concentrate on that a bit, next time. didn't help that i took a break in the middle to mess around with some partner balancing stuff with jimmy (this guy: http://beastskills.com/). got a double planche, which was cool.

suck it, bitches.

fast. twitch. machine.

insane. crazier to me than the pat mendes stuff (or chris, sorry breh) because he's SO FREAKING LIGHT. He weights like 181 pounds! That's almost a 4.25xbw dead lift!

fucking fuck. have felt like crap all day, was feeling better by the time i went to the gym but apparently not with it enough to bring my lifting shoes. tried to work out but it just wasn't happening so i'm going to try again tomorrow.

did end up warming up. shot around a little bit, which should have been the first warning sign: everything was short. driving me nuts. then did sprints and tried a few jumps. after one good one-step, everything else blew and once the crossfit class started taking over the gym i was done. mobility and stretching and home. early bedtime tonight.

Zetz: I work in international development, particularly on humanitarian aid and disaster risk reduction.

Worked 11.5 hours yesterday and 11 on Friday, plus I started getting a headache last night, slept like shit and the headache is still there this morning (although not as bad). But I got my shit done when I said I would, and it's not as much of a piece of shit as it was when it came across my desk from Pakistan. Plus props from my boss (and her boss) for the work. Plus I just got off the phone with Afghanistan, which (at least from the point of view of my job) is a shining beacon of clarity, transparency and good work compared to the shitshow that is Pakistan. Always nice to talk to my people in Kabul and Pul-i-Khumri. So now I'm in a good mood, apparent cold be damned.

Gonna see if I can leave work a little early today, get to the gym with plenty of time to warm up and jump without anyone else around. Fingers crossed.

lebron has played his entire basketball life in ohio, first akron, then cleveland nba.. everyone in that city/state thinks they own lebron and he "owes them" by staying there his whole life.. im glad he took a big heaping shit all over those fans by going to miami, look how they reacted.. death threats, burning jerseys, booing him, tons of youtube video rants, etc..

_that's the point_, fans will turn on you in a second so there is no loyalty to begin with, and lebron understands that.. he's seen it happened to plenty of player's in the nba, nfl, mlb, etc.

LBJ is probably the only franchise player to leave the team at/before his prime though.  is there anyone else that did pulled this chicken shit stunt like he did??

Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal.
