I just don't get how a guy that is 6-7 years in vert training feels the need to post this ultra-base-level knowledge.

I do.

He posted it while he was standing upside down.

What is the programming language that vag wrote that stuff into? C? Cause it sure as heck ain't looking like Java.

Would having a boner affect the center of gravity hence increasing the leverage against the spine putting the spine at risk?

Something to think about.

Don't you look at that and think "... could this... could this be a scam?"

In fact, I would say a "full" squat (below parallel or whatever) is more "comfortable" or "accessible" than a half squat.

Not sure how good that sounds for someone who wants to jump high. Every good jumper I know would disagree with this statement strongly (except for people like Kingfish or guys who jump very high from a standstill).

I don't think I could be able to half squat 140x5 with my 150 1RM.

By the way - where do you feel the "load" when you're doing the half squats? Like, do you feel the "knees" are loaded or the "hips" are loaded more? (yes, I know, very difficult to determine, but I definitely feel the knees loaded a heck-of-a-lot more than the hips)

quads too stiff to half squat? what are you, 85? that's weird.

Felt that at 30, quite a few times.

Maybe he can't walk.

Maybe his locomotion method is bounding on the left leg only.

60x20 is hell for me, high bar.

Yes but if you discover a potential problem you should try to solve it and see if your performance increases even more. That's how records are made.

There's no logical reason why the right leg would be "stronger", statistically speaking, for right handed individuals. The natural movement for going for a jumpshot is a LR plant, with the right arm going upwards. Same with defensive stance: LR position with the right arm forwards.

The reverse is more true.

RL plants are used, in an almost exclusive fashion I suppose, by volleyball players because they can reach back with the right arm to spike the ball (similar for dunkers).

But my bet is that, statistically, LR is the more common way to plant/stay stable for right handed people.
