~36 inch jumps today with vicious tomahawks being thrown down (at the 9'9 rim). One of the best jumping days ever.

Yeah I meant endurance, but strength is a factor as well. If your arms weigh a lesser percentage of your max strength then they are easier to keep up.

Let me ask you something else Kelly:
Would you expect an inhibited person (the one that doesn't dance well when people are around) to dance better alone at home for example, with only himself as a "spectator"? I would.

it's an example of a "functional" exercise that makes no physical sense. gravity points down.
Well most of the time boxers can't hold their arms up due to lack in strength in the shoulders in that exact position so that's the premise of that exercise. The other thing is overloading that movement with additional weight. I won't get into trying to say if that's good or not since I don't really care, but doesn't seem so pointless.

Well you have the freedom to say whatever it is that you want to say, and I have mine. I stand by mine's, you stand by your's, so there you have it. People will have their's.
Note I said "it usually means" - maybe this wasn't the case. But honestly, just because you talk a lot that doesn't mean I'm going to change my first reaction to seeing that answer. But it doesn't matter.

« on: May 11, 2011, 04:12:30 pm »
I think the quads are better for standing VJ, while the glutes are better in running jumps. The reason I see for that is leverage. You can use the glutes better when you throw your legs (feet) in front of you and hip extend using the leg length leverage than in a no-step VJ, where the quads can be used much better.

If we wanted to go about it what would we do
I doubt if becoming a good dancer would help your game. The events are correlative, not causative.QuoteBecause highly intelligent people stay at home in front of the computer or books and read and don't "go out" to dance. Dancing is a matter of body control but it still matters how much time you put into it.
If I'm a nerd I don't go out there to make myself a mockery in front of people "learning to dance". Dancing is for monkeys. Wait, what am I trying to say?
Ok let me put it another way. Why is it that alcohol undboubtedly helps some people dance, - then think about what that has to do with the mind.
That's a good point... makes them "think less". Maybe more right side of the brain into it.
The more you think about movement, the worse it usually gets.

Whatever man. Too much talking.
Maybe I'm "scammer" paranoid, but I honestly thought (and still do, but... yeah, I still do) that that answer was put in that way just to raise curiosity. When the answer is delivered in general terms, it usually means "buy the program, you'll find more info there".

« on: May 11, 2011, 06:59:14 am »Being able to completely relax mucle in between bouts of activation is just as important for speed and quickness as force production. I've likened being quick to being more similar to dancing, and most real world bouts of quickness are largely based moreso on timing, rhythm, and movement contrasts then they are absolute speed. You should be able to see the parallels with dancing.

what?

Let me put up a silly question:
If you were to jump using your arms, what would be more important: forearm strength, triceps strength or deltoid strength?
