There are so many variables... body structure, strength in different muscle groups, recruitment of these muscles, body control etc will decide if Air Alert will wreck your body or not. The thing is - why do it? I mean, there are a lot better ways to train and less risky.

Freddie Mercury reminds me of Nechifor Lipan. A weird combination of things.

Looks like the femur is a lot longer than the tibia in the last pictures... maybe optical illusion

I was listening this when I was a kid. Actually I was singing this song at ~ 4 years old or so.

Are all these protein shakes healthy? I mean, they're man made, a powder "thingy"... processed basically... you can't grow or shoot protein shakes

You better believe I am. I never could understand, at least in my body&skin, how in the world I'd choose to jump off two feet if I was trying to get as high as I could. Unless it's a standing jump for a rebound or something, a one-leg jump is so much more superior.

If you ask me, I never understood bilateral stuff for dynamics... it just feels natural to jump off one leg because you walk and move unilaterally. A one leg jump is just an exaggerated "step". When you walk you don't bounce on two legs like birds.

Yeah well I think if you use common sense, and if your common sense is good, you're going to be fine, either using the unilaterals or not.

One of the reason I like unilaterals is because you can work depending on your weak limb. If you can lunge 90 kg for 5 reps with your right leg and 90 kg for 10 reps with your left leg, then you can limit your left leg training to the right leg RM. So they both get the same amount of training.

In a squat, you'd probably load more the left leg in this situation and continue with the imbalance (sure, doing the same amount of reps and doing a bilateral exercise will also help balance things out in the end). But I just feel like more focus can be applied with an unilateral exercise, there's also a bit less stability so the core works harder etc.

It really just depends on what you're trying to improve on, I guess. So for athletics, unilateral work "must" be done because I feel it really helps and is more specific to human movement. For powerlifting etc, I don't really feel it "must" be done because it doesn't have any specificity to that.
