I can never visit this thread, lel. I always watch the games recorded, during the next day or night, so I can't visit this until I do.

Am I wrong in assuming the soleus assists the quads in transferring energy towards the ground? If the soleus muscles, in the plant position that Myree displays above, would be weak, then the heels would collapse and there would be "no medium" through which the quads could "push through" towards the ground. The gastrocnemius muscles are in active insufficiency in that position, so only the soleus can do the job there.
Am I missing anything?

Yeah, in fact, I brought on this exact point talking about Myree's plant in another thread, lel.
How strong was Eddie in the calf raise variations when you were training him, Andrew? Was he getting complete ROM on his standing/seated calf raises? And if so, what were the ratios to his bodyweight?

Is it worth doing them for athleticism, knowing only the soleus works in the seated version?

What are you using these for? I mean, it's not like your soleus needs that much of a load.

If you get a lot of back injuries like I do, yes.

That is correct. Also, to strengthen the abs. It's interesting, but as Toddday was alluding to some time ago, some APT is good, because when you run/jump, the squeeze you get from the glutes will actually put you into neutral pelvic tilt, which is optimal. If you were in neutral pelvic tilt from the get go, the glute squeeze would've put you into posterior pelvic tilt, which would be sub-optimal.

Usually, people with anterior pelvic tilt tend to jump well off one leg. However, APT also associates with low back pain, whereas posterior pelvic tilt associates with knee pain.

Marberry is 5'5 (if he really is) - that's 1.65 meters tall. Rim is at 3.05 - he needs to jump 1.40 m to be head to rim. That's 55.11 inches.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: long article on stretching
« on: May 20, 2016, 03:03:30 am »
This reminds me of people that want to demonstrate that they have hamstring flexibility and that they can touch the floor with their hands etc. When in reality, they don't bend at the hips from a point on, they just bend their back and continue on bending it, with the hips doing nothing. From the point on, the hamstrings are not influenced by what's going on, so it's not a display of hamstring flexibility, but of erector spinae flexibility.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Pre Game Warm Up
« on: May 20, 2016, 03:00:58 am »
To me, my best warm up was playing some aggressive defense. Sure, go through some dynamic warmup, if you do static stretches don't do them for longer than 20 seconds each, at best. In fact, I would static stretch only my hip flexor and maybe quads.
Then I would pick up a team mate and play some one on one for 2-3 minutes, playing aggressive defense on each other. That's been a great way to warm-up well for me.

It's hard for me to imagine breathing "deeply" through my mouth for a long time while running, I would probably get tired like crazy.

For a few reasons - it's hard to reverse the movement that quickly when you're heavier. The amount of tension you get in the connective tissues when doing that is too much and the CNS is more likely to shut you down.
Furthermore, heavier people have a tendency to be "strength dominant" - so they need more time on the ground to produce and apply that strength - a 1-2 plant where the first leg gets loaded more and the 2nd leg is more for "blocking"/changing directions from forward to upward is more suited for that purpose.
The "hop" plant is better for the more reactive, lighter individual that doesn't have these issues. He wants to take advantage of his "bounciness", aka his connective tissues' stored elastic energy. And that's done the best with a quicker amortization phase, which is what a hop plant allows to happen.
