I'll never understand how people can deal with such high speeds when going off two without getting completely overloaded in the plant. My knees and quad tendons would blow out after such a tremendous "stop" off two.
could it have something to do with the fact that i used to be a one legged jumper? i switched 5 years ago, at around the same time that i was able to tomahawk for the first time.
i wonder how high i would get off of one leg actually. maybe i'll try it out sometime. I bet it'll feel really awkward at first though.
No, because if that was the case I would jump off two at high speeds. But I don't. I think it has more to do with quad strength and quad tendon ability to load a ton of tension without feeling it will break and signaling the CNS an overload has occured and that it must shut down the jump.
Think about it - I collapse even when I do consecutive high hurdles. If there's something quick when I can't load the quads slowly and under control I stiffen up and shut down. So it must be something about the quad tendons in my opinion.
