Pushing a Heavy object - Right foot forward
2-foot jump plant - LR
Kick - Left leg
Starting sprint stance - Right leg forward
1 foot jumping leg - Right leg

All the bolded stuff suggests you should jump RL. Let me ask you something else: what way do you stand on a skateboard? Although I don't have a skate or use one, when I fooled around with one I was beyond any doubt standing on it in a LR stance, with the left leg on it and the right leg pushing into the ground. That's solid with my natural LR plant.

So what, you're now focusing on maximal lifts or are you just benchmarking him?

Yea I know it's weird. I grew up playing soccer - almost all right leg, didn't play basketball at all till I was 18 (22 now), and never attempted jumping till I was 19 so those things could be contributing factors.

Raptor - another guy is jrue holiday. He definitely favors his right leg by a mile but yea not too many.

If you kick with your right leg in soccer, then you rotate on the left leg to kick exactly as in a LR plant. So your natural plant should be LR. However, trying to touch something over head might change the mechanics a bit...

Yeah I just remember how much different of a feeling is after I play 5 on 5 basketball, which I do very rarely. It just feels like the entire leg is fatigued. No muscle groups separation in terms of fatigue or anything. Just the entire leg. It just feels... weird. Probably because of lactic acid or something, and more blood flow. I just feel more elastic when I'm in the middle of a 5 on 5, albeit fatigued enough not to jump well.

very nice progress markus, form looked good.

how much weight loss he down to now?

pC

last time he weighed himself he was "only" -11kg. but the tape measure says that he lost more fat than that, so he seems to be building some muscle

It's weird that he trusts staying in the same room with you. Now that's bravery!

Oh boy he was really lucky on these!

Yeah I'll try it, see what happens. Should be better for my structure for sure. It's for a deadlift what a wide stance squat is for a ... squat

Yeah it was visual. He could get about 2 inches over the rim, and then on the 2nd jump, he got almost the whole palm over the rim (definitely over the half of the palm).

I'll have sweet dreams from now on.
