Jumped slightly over 26 inches today with both legs with moderate pain upon landing. My standing vert is 25" right now...I'm guessing the difference is minimal because I can't generate any speed before takeoff due to my ankle. I really should not be jumping tho lol. This is the lowest I've jumped since I was 12-13.

it is impossible that you can only do 3 single leg calf raises. i do not believe it. your calves are strong enough for you to have, in population-wide terms, a well-above-average jump -- not to mention the ability to walk. i demand video evidence of your failure.

Is it possible that I have trouble doing single leg calf raises because of my really small feet (size 8 )? I feel like when i do them my foot is slipping off the stair.

I also have 2 working copies of ACTN3, which bodes well for me according the the research. My friend also got this genetic testing done and he had 0 working copies...perhaps that's why he has a 14" vert?

This was my best jump ever (tons of adrenaline and almost touched rim) with Nike+ shoes on like 2 years ago that I haven't replicated since.

Took a pic of a frame in an old video to show you guys how unbelievably short my arms are. This is me touching 9'6:

I'm serious. I had my brother do them and he was able to pump out 20 with ease...I have small feet (size 8 ) and long toes, so perhaps I don't have a long enough base to do single leg calf raises?

no. again, you can walk. therefore you can do more than three calf raises. can you take a video? maybe you're doing something crazy?

So when I get back into it should I do unilateral exercises with my right leg since it is significantly atrophied at the moment? Thanks.

Maybe he can't walk.

Maybe his locomotion method is bounding on the left leg only.

kind of impossible to tell there because of the angle and the speed.

but your feet pointed downward at some point, which means you have calves, so that's good.

Does my jump look explosive and fast?
