Bone density improving in two weeks? I don't think so.

But really, the advantage of plyos vs. strength training is that only the plyos overload/or load at whatever intensity - the lower legs. In the squats and deadlifts the lower leg isn't nearly as active as in a plyometric effort, even at medium intensity.

I've always associated mitochondria with aerobic prowess... but it seems they actually generate ATP. Interesting.

Damn, you wouldn't want to know my dreams :D

I guess dreaming is the most imaginative expression of the human being (well, the brain, that's basically you).

It is suggested that adaptation had occurred both in neuromuscular functions and in metabolic processes.

What kind of metabolic processes?

But how can you overanalyze anymore if you do that?

NOT FAIR!

I just love the numbers on the long jumps (horizontal jumps). I think it's such an underrated way to train for your jumping height.

But because of the angle, the quads need much more force to amortizate properly and prevent knee collapse.

AC is using this technique in a few dunks, if we're talking about the same plant. It's also being seen in technically defficient/physicaly strong people.

I don't get why a "squat plant" (both feet at the same time) has more posterior chain amortization ???

I thought the quads take a lot more beating trying to decelerate and prevent the knees from collapsing than when planting sideways, since planting sideways brings a bit of a twist and the plant occurs at a different angle than a direct overload of the quads that happens in a straight-forward plant.

I don't get it.

So what should the approach be training-wise in order to tap into those reserves?

Yes but I'm almost as beautiful as Alex Maroko, you gotta give me that.

I thought I should drop in an introductory thread to announce my supreme being's presence here. You have all been blessed.

Well, not really, but somewhere in that area... :D
