Kadour Ziani's Legs

He doesn't look like the strongest bloke in the world, so how does he get up? Is it just plain ridiculous explosiveness? I bet it has something to do with his incredible flexibility. What is the adarq theory on Kadour?

she doesn't look anorexic, just thin. severely anorexic people are fucking terrifying looking.

off-topic but important clarification, srs.

^Yes , and i misspelled "hi", "guys", "sectets", "inches" etc. I know the difference , it was part of the same exaggeration,  regarding the thin-vs-jumping-high issue.

I reckon that anorexia is a deadly desease though and should not be used in jokes, my bad!

WHY OH WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING NEW TOPICS/THREADS THAT ARE RETARDED HARVEY?

You're looking at his damn calf size bro...Calf size is most genetic and even with lots of resistance training, it won't grow much.

Ask this question after you see his thighs and butt or something... You're like those people in basketball who goes "How do black people jump so high with skinny legs?"

Flexibility, or lack thereof can hinder one's vert if it's too lacking, but Ziani's crazy flexibility and stretching routine doesn't give him inches on his hops.  He probably has very powerful glutes, hamstrings, quads, and a perfect genetic makeup for single leg jumping with the perfect tendons, leg length, body structure leverages, etc...

Goal is to dunk.

Vertical needed to dunk: 40"

Current vertical : 38.5"

Was all you needed to say.

Also, is it just me or does he appear to have quite 'prominent' achilles?

When he came to Romania he was able to do pistol squats incredibly easy. Also he jumps almost the same without warm-up as he does after 1 hour of dunking.

He probably has incredible hip strength and since he has a low bodyweight, calf strength is not an issue for him => he can use a ton of speed in the plant.

you idiots use the word strength too much. kadour Ziani is not strong. He is fast. He develops force quickly in milliseconds, not under seconds under a squat rack with his glutes and quads. I wonder what his tendons look like, and his hip bones, but I feel like he jumps high due to the elastic properties of his tendons and bones in his hips.

As a result of his elastic and probably stiff tendons, he may be able to develop a lot of force, but to think they come from his muscles is just plain wrong. The tendons are the structures that allow the muscles to stretch and produce the force. I read some papers on thsi stuff while ago I forget now.

Also whoever said his flexibility may hinder his performance needs a reference. I understand that acutely stretching hinders power output. But improving fleixbility in the long run usually increases musclee strength.

"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.
