ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Jumping and Landing

« on: March 15, 2012, 12:47:27 pm »

Hey Adarq and Lance,

Question about my jumping and landing technique.

I find that when I focus on just doing a standing vertical jump, I have unequal push off from my legs
leading me to not jump straight up.

what would be the best way to coordinate/teach my body to give equal force distribution from my legs?
-slow down my jump and focus on pushing off equally?
-strengthen my weaker leg (which has knee pain)

and into the landing phase, i find that I load + and shift my weight more onto my stronger leg . anything i can do to correct that as well?

Just highlighting the importance of rehab and muscle activation/correct motor patterns

Been really working towards improving my motor function of my hips (especially my glute med),
along w/ getting my ankles proper mobility and proprioception.

As a result, my injured leg has been feeling a lot better.
In addition, having better motor patterns has helped me maintain my jumping ability.

I have not been squatting heavy for quite a long time (2-3 months), yet i believe that
through changing my motor patterns while bringing my muscle tissue to proper length I have been
able to maintain much of my jumping ability for DLRVJ. while squatting while ignoring my functional muscle problems i was able to grab rim with the tips of my finger. Now i am only a little below the rim, which i think is pretty good, seeing that i havent been squatting much.

so in short, get your body into proper function!
