Thanks and yeah, the depth broad jumps looked very long actually, I need to measure them the next time. I also was hip hyperextending very well on them which is rare for me (also did hip flexor static stretch before them).

Power cleans need more work on exactly that hip extension part. I probably need to lean more backwards when I do them or something.

As for the bounds... yeah I've always done them very fast because that's the way "I feel like making them". I mean, for maximum efficiency (where "efficiency" is a hard to quantify word) I feel like I need to do them fast. But maybe I should slow down and put more power, both vertically and horizontally, into them.

yea, when i was in track in my sec school days, we had spikes, and training in them was awesome.
pity i wasnt too into it back then, i reckoned i would've done alright...

would rather play king of fighters at the video arcade LOL!

Do you think after a pr by stim compared to a pr without stim you can constantly replicate the 'stim pr' again without stim and without additional training(such as becoming better at bounds will give u an equal performsnce cuz u ovefloaded the movement and u got better, so if u were to stim again, ud get an even bettef pr)? I mean, the 'stim pr' will stay there and u will be able to replicate it when youre rested?? 

ya you can keep PR's using stim.. you just have to try and maintain the PR.. if you can create PR level jumping / sprinting, then subsequent sessions should be aimed at improving the consistency of achieving that results OR just PR'n again.. by PR'n, your body is showing that it can handle that new performance level, which adds in itself a new level of intensity to each skill session, so the trick is to keep it within range:

- using normal stim protocols to obtain more consistent sprints /jumps near or at that pr
- using more intense stim protocols to try and obtain a new PR

by using stim-like methods, the body is firing optimally come skill-session time.. so these skill sessions that are 'enhanced' with stim become a MORE POWERFUL stimulus than just training with fatigue...

if you jump 40" off a run.. then you stim a 41", you have taught your body how to create 41" and introduced a more intense skill training session because of the new 1" gain in RVJ.. so the trick here would be to try and achieve 40-41" MORE OFTEN, more consistently.. so you might not PR right off the bat again with stim, but your overall session quality should be better.. stack a few of these onto each other and you get new PR's.

exactly my point..you have to stick with that new performance and let your body get accustomed to it, without starting a new cycle, loading, or deloading...just make sure your body gets used to jumping 41' any day of the week (or as close as possible)...........ill upload a video of pfaff tonight, he saying the exact same thing

400m is an interesting distance. Have you ever tried using track spikes for it?
