Yeah I can do the goosebumps on command as well... I think it's a sign of a hyperactive nervous system by definition...

I was actually being honest. Your mind acts to protect your body. If it weren't you'd get injured a lot. It saved me from a lot of stupid mistakes or doing depth jumps from the 10th floor to be "the hero".
EDIT: That chinese guy absolutely rules.

Explosive!
From the description:

Plyometrics are a fantastic way for athlete's to improve strength, power and quickness. The depth jump is designed to load the muscles prior to the "explosion".
We have been working with this athlete to specifically improve his explosive power.

Why? It's the same as posing at 130 lbs in a bodybuilding forum.
It's my opinion and you can take it or leave it.

The thumb should be placed on top of the bar, so that the wrist can be held in a straight line with the forearm.

I have a 41.5 cm VMO, 60 cm thigh and 39 cm calf on my left leg. That's 16.5", 24" and 16" at ~180.
So I pretty much have what Adarqui has but I weigh 30 lbs more.
Right leg: 42 cm VMO, 58 cm thigh 38 cm calf. So 17", 23" and 15". Weird as I always complained about right leg's VMO. It's form is strange, very "short" in length, while the left VMO is long and goes all the way up the thigh.

I hate having that knowledge. I have a weak mind and it does a good job protecting my body.

Well I'm going to do that in the meantime 'til I reach that point. It's like a transition to MSEM and power stuff.

Well because I want to squat daily, and heavy, for a few reps. It's like telling the body "hey, I am squatting daily and I need maximum intensity whenever I do this stuff, even though in little volume" so when you jump you're getting feedback from that very heavy squatting and generate maximum intensity. Sure, different dynamics but that's the idea.
In terms of jumping I think I should do maximal jumps like this, maybe with a weight vest on. But it's not the time for that right now.

I can't even read this dreams... I burst out laughing immediately every time I see something like this... I keep on wondering how the brain generates all that and start laughing again and again.

Well yeah I don't have a problem reading labels and all that, my problem is weighing stuff. And I don't want to buy a weighing machine for food, I just don't want to. Plus that if I eat something like soup that has like 10 veggies in it, including potatoes and stuff, and also meat, how the heck do I know how much vegetables are in that and in what proportion each, and how much meat is in and so on. It just doesn't make sense.
I just need to cut on empty calories like chocolate and sugars and stuff like that and that's it.
I probably get ~500 kcal from these daily, sometimes upwards to 1000, so that's the culprit. If you compound that with their insulinic effect, there ya have it.
Of course, if this really is the case and it's not a marketing driven, nutritionist driven "hey give us money, we are smart and we make you thin" thing and if this really applies to me (not because I'm special, but because each individual has it's own metabolism, somatic type and so on).
