It's easy to be flexible when you aren't obese

I've heard of muscle stiffness but never fat stiffness.Fixed. Spoken like a true soft tissue approximation connoisseur.

He's got a nice little HL reel, a good vert with off hand ability is always a plus at any level of ball.

Just keep posting videos about it in the powerlifting thread.The truth is its easy to be flexible if you put effort into it. Which I don't.
Any proof at all that any of these weird exercises in particular prevent injuries, or are we supposed to take his word for it? What does "end range" mean, is it supposed to be a theoretical abstract ideal that does not vary from one person to the next? So he advocates for getting stronger, but he also never trains heavy with compound exercises, so which one is it, getting stronger or something else?
Many injuries in contact sports come from overuse, fast dynamic motions that force the joint in a direction it's not designed to go, direct impact, excessive loading, etc. How is maximum flexibility supposed to prevent this, and where is the proof that learning the splits or extreme sissy squats (not sure what to call that exercise) help? I don't know, I get the impression that he doesn't even try to substantiate what he's saying other than "Hey, but Usain Bolt and Serena can do the splits". Maybe he does somewhere else, I don't know. Not that I think flexibility is a bad thing.

This guy breaks it down, basketball players will produce sharper peak forces during plyometrics and an approach jump than they will during a max, full range of motion squat;
From what I’ve seen of Kneesoverthetoes guy recommends depth jumps.
Not sure about the rest of his advice though.
He looks like an injury waiting to happen to me.

Most people don't program or execute plyos correctly.What I was responding to was a post saying that he advocates "building strength through the end range" as a way to prevent injury, which is kinda unrelated to what the guy on that video is saying. In fact, the guy in the video is sayin quarter squats can be beneficial for your running vertical, which is the opposite of "end range strength" or whatever. I have indeed seen some study that talked about quarter squats being beneficial for that. From what I've seen from KOT, his injury prevention stuff seems to be at odds with what I've heard from other sources that I trust and seem to be well researched.
Plyometrics is something I don't know much about, but that video does seem interesting. KOT guy comes across as trying to promote himself as some holder of an incredible secret while not providing much evidence or science for what he's saying, from what I've seen. To me he seems like yet another Jeff Cavalier type. He also has the delivery of an infomercial host, full of exaggerated claims and buzzwords like "bulletproofing" "WORLD CLASS ATHLETE", etc. Kinda the opposite from the guy you posted. I'd much rather listen to a dude like the one you posted than him.
One obviously obnoxious thing kneesovertoes guy does is claim he’s a world class athlete seemingly just because he has a 40+ vertical.
That’s only one tiny hyper specific aspect of athleticism that he has excelled at.
I’d like to see a bit more varied athleticism before making such a claim.
