I've had a friend who was quad dominant and would describe jumping off one leg as "losing himself in the air"... he then developed ankle injuries and knee injuries in the end.

Usually, quad dominant people will eventually develop knee injuries because of that overload again and again and again of the knees traveling forward on each jump.

Hip dominant guys might get back injuries if they start hyperextending at the back, probably.

Damn.

You're basically light years ahead of me, and I've been training consistently in the last 7 years.

The penultimate step should indeed be longer than the last step. You also want to be the "lowest" in the penultimate so that you can kinda start rising up on your last step and have the proper angle for takeoff and glute drive.

When you're low in the last step as well, then your tendency will be to have a longer last step (almost as long, if not, as the penultimate) and that will have a breaking effect on you, and also stretch the hamstrings a ton and elongate the amortization phase.

So instead of a quick glute hip snap, you're going to have a long, hamstring-initiated hip extension.

I don't.

I suck at one leg jumping without the ball. The basic idea is not to push with your knee/quad, but to "pull yourself" with your hamstring/glute. Easier said than done.
