my best broad jump (well only time i done it was last year) was 2.85 metres  ~112", I want to start recording it again and hit 3m......................THAT VID ANDREW POSTED UP WAS CRAZY!

nice 112" aint bad, get that 120+.

ya i love that vid

The broad jump seems to use a fair amount more glute (hip extension) and less quad (knee extension)

yup, as you go from vertical to horizontal, contribution of hamstrings/glutes increases, quad contribution decreases.

so if you have a big vert and not a big broad jump then you know your quads are the strong suit..am i right?

well, if you practice both skills often enough, and have proficiency in each, then yes that would be an indication of a better vert than broad jump.

broad jump is highly correlated with sprint speed, that's where it comes most in handy.. low broadjump? more often than not, low speed.

so Adarqui that means you might be have strong quads and not as strong glutes

well, my glutes are actually strong, it's my hamstrings that are weak as kittens... your theory would have merit if it weren't for my HORRIBLE svj.. my standing vertical jump is probably worse relatively than my broad jump.. but really that comes down to my being "reactive my whole life".. i never just generate force as fast as possible from "nothing".. i would always precede it with a run up, drop step, or some kind of movement to get my those muscle groups turned on.. i lack explosive strength without significant pre-loading (impact etc)

but yes my quads are definitely my strongest "asset" in terms of power.. calfs would be strong on the reactive strength side..

in order, my strong points would be:
- quads
- calfs
- glutes
- hamstrings

good observation though.

peace man

You need something so you make sure you go all the way down in that scenario though  .

Swinging blade that gets gradually lower once you start descending and raises once you hit the bottom?

or just a spotter with a desert eagle..

all is full of love..

Fucking badass picture.

hell ya it is.

some definite cam angle going on in terms of arm/head height, but you were getting up good on those dunks.



good jumps for sure, i was surprised considering all of your injury-setbacks as of recent.

Those split squats were nice.

thanks joe!

I am looking forward to seeing this thread in its completed state. Blast knows his shit and how to research.

me too.
