Jumps - court

Played some pick-up ball today for about 2hrs, beforehand I went to the courts early to do some stuff:

Full-court sprints

6 DSVJs

4 SVJs

6 DLRVJs

Then a few SLRVJs but they really sucked...I got a bit of knee-to-knee contact last time I played and my left knee's pretty bruised. Made it hard to max out on them cos trying to get low before take-off aggravated it a bit. Still a good work-out though.

What if you get your penultimate LOWER instead of longer? It might be better as there will be less breaking effect due to length, that is currently occuring.

It's a good question. I need to do some experimentation to see if it's a LOW penultimate step or a LONG penultimate step that's causing the slight knee buckling I've been having. I thought maybe it as because I was going too deep but maybe not

Yeah I have been working on getting the penultimate step longer, when I do it usually gets me higher. Still need to get those arms swinging more though.

Here's that video from a day ago. Didn't have anyone to shoot it for me so the camera angle is a bit crap, also the sound got messed up when I put them together.
Last jump was the best one, ring's about 3.02m, so if I got about 16-17cm up my arm, with a reach of 90.5'' I think it might have been a bit around 34.5, maybe close to 35''.

Here's the jump in better quality:

Jumps session at ring/vertec

6 SVJs (Best:31'', 1'' off best)

Then just did heaps of jumps at 9'11'' ring, got some pretty good SLRVJs in, one I think was around 34.5''!. Video to come.

Track/gym

warmup

4x60m sprints

1x100m (12.1)

30m Bounds: LRLRLRx2, LLRR, LLL, RRR

Hurdle hops: 5x5

45o Hyper: 3x10@16kgs

Bench: 1x8@60kgs, 3x6-7@90kgs

The 100m was just for fun, I'm fast in the first 60m but my conditioning sucks over the last 40m, hence the slow time  :huh:

My own advice would be to to head towards a Bachelor of Science-->physiology/nutrition major, or a degree in Physiotherapy, and consider postgraduate research in exercise science. I think that good trainers know how the human body functions both physiologically and nutritionally, and also have a good scientific approach to training. You'd wanna be getting some work experience at your college's gym or local gym during your degree as well. Can't recommend a specific school, but I'm sure there's plenty to choose from.

Tues - bball and a track session

I think I'm gonna adjust my training a bit - been doing a lot of bounds and I think they're doing their job but I'm worried about the stress on my knee on take-off, it's feeling sore after I jump and kind of buckling a bit whereas before I started doing a lot of bounding it didn't so much. Gonna adjust it to 1x bounding and 1x general plyos session like I used to do while keeping the weights the same.

Track

5x50m sprints

3x8 tuck jumps

Depth jumps @ ~20'' - 4x5

then game of basketball later.

Ehhh...went to a ring today for some jumps but legs were just not there...ankle was a bit sore still and my left knee just keeps buckling a bit before take-off and it was really limiting my jump. Went to the gym afterwards and just did an pretty easy overall workout to get my legs sore + some upperbody.

Squat: 2x8@100kgs, 2x6@120kgs
