With little kids, it helps that they weigh like 40 pounds. I think it was Lyle who pointed out that most 7-year-old girl gymnasts can embarrass the shit out of most well-trained adult men in bodyweight strength stuff.

well ya for sure that helps but when i was that young, if could barely do pushups HEH! didn't even know what a pullup was... so yea these kids definitely have an edge with training like this at a young age, i really do love this kind of training for young kids, properly implemented of course, without a TON of intense landings.. moderate gymnastics/bodyweight training at a young age has very impressive results down the road, wish i had done that stuff when i was young.

i found a vert of some really young gymnastics girl it looked near 20, she must have been about 8 years old, i think i linked it on here.. was very impressive.. all of the boys i tested during camps at memorial sportscenter, you'd be extremely lucky to get a 12 inch vert at age 8 ehehe.

peace

i had a 14 svj... at 15yrs old!!

ya exactly, you would have been on the lower end of performance on kids i test at 15.. for 15, kids were getting 18-26.. had a few 26+ (26,27,29.5) etc, those kids were extremely explosive though..

my SVJ was probably around that low at 15 though too, it was pretty horrible HEH.

based on watching/ playing in aau games,i find that the genetic freaks are not significantly higher jumpers than the white boys at 12-14 yrs old. however, there is a huge difference between running form and speed between freaks and non freaks. in hs, 15-18, the diff in jumping between genetic freaks and normals becomes VERY obvious.  wat have u tested/ noticed?

i've tested it to be a big difference at any age, for broad jump/vert/sprinting/agility/strength/and usually conditioning tests.. the freaks at age 8, 12, 14, 18, 20+ etc, all have way better scores on all tests than average athletes, jumping ability included..

peace!
