WTF? Oh boy, I need to stop squatting then! :o

Or better yet, I need to stop getting heavy!

Lance was hinting towards hamstring differences. He said to Nightfly he should do leg curls with feet pointed in different directions (inside or outside) to fix that.

Knees over toes. You're dead.

The squat effect, I guess.

You should film some one leg jumps of yourself now and compare to older videos.

You ended a LR planter because you probably jump a lot to block shots with your right arm. If you do that, you're going to jump LR so that the right arm is forward to reach towards the jump shooter. Also, shooting off the dribble is usually a LR plant so that the right arm is a bit forward. That skateboard thing, and pretty much anything else - is very indicative of your natural stable position. A stable position is a good position to jump off from.

Whenever I look at Vince (Carter) jumping for a block, he plants RL and goes up with his left hand, because he naturally plants RL. And you can see that in his block shot jumps as well.

PS. My therapist commented on how much more developed my right forearm is. No idea why.

I don't play basketball.

You could've spare both me and you some time and offer the answer to the question "what do you play?"

Yeah, I do that too. I feel like stumbling if I try a 360 or over the back with a LR plant...

PS.

That looks really high... if you would've pulled your heels to the butt, that would've looked incredible. :ninja:

How much have you practiced your two footed jump since you were pretty much an exclusive one-leg jumper?

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.

Man that was nothing for him!  Has he ever tried American Football?  He'd be a beast as an offensive lineman.  Nice work Big Papa!

American Football in Germany sounds really popular.

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

Hm... not sure what to say. I was about to say that's a good indicator of explosive strength but at your strength levels and explosiveness displayed with snatches and cleans, I'm not really sure what your broad jump should be like...

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...
