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?

BW = idk but I'm about to buy a scale
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right toe was bugging a little but nothing major
FATIGUE = none, which is odd because I didn't sleep well
DIET = ok, sipped protein shake starting halfway through workout, which I don't normally do. Liked 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...

^^^ Not sure if unable to understand the use of quotation marks to infer sarcasm?

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

What?

BW = idk
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = none
DIET = fine, more veggies than usual because half the people made salad for the staff meeting/pot luck at work today

Gym was a complete waste. I was at work til 8:20 so didn't get to the gym until 9, then realized that the worthless, snivelling old fucks were having their weekly game so I couldn't use the court. I am terrible at improvising in the gym, once thrown from my planned workout I'm lost. So I did some SMR, shot the shit with a guy I'm gonna take snatch lessons from sometime soon, who has all the SMR toys imaginable. Then once the fucks stopped playing, I did some sprinter's warm ups and did 5 sprints. They felt great, light and fast. Then I tried one jump and slipped, got pissed and at that point it was 9:45, the gym was closing in 15 minutes and I called it a night.
