And adarq the body has a tremendous capacity to recover. A broken back is a lot worse than a few 100 inch depth jumps, but I can provide a couple examples of people who have the knowledge of incredible healing, through diet: Dr. Robert Cassar, David Wolfe. Both broke their backs somehow and are just thriving now on foods that promote healing; unprocessed, nutrient rich food. Joint problems are almost always diet related, provide me an example to refute what I'm saying...

Abstract

Athletes, and an increasing number of middle aged and older people who want to participate in athletics, may question whether regular vigorous physical activ ity increases their risk of developing osteoarthritis. To answer this, the clinical syndrome of osteoarthritis must be distinguished from periarticular soft tissue pain associated with activity and from the development of osteophytes. Sports that subject joints to repetitive high levels of impact and torsional loading increase the risk of articular cartilage degeneration and the resulting clinical syndrome of osteoarthritis. However, moderate habitual exercise does not increase the risk of osteo arthritis ; selected sports improve strength and mobility in older people and people with mild and moderate osteoarthritis. People with abnormal joint anatomy or alignment, previous significant joint injury or surgery, joint instability, above-average body weight, distur bances of joint or muscle innervation or inadequate muscle strength probably have increased risk of osteo arthritis. These people and those with early osteoar thritis can benefit from regular physical activity, but they should have a careful evaluation of their joint structure and function before participation. They should consider measures that decrease the intensity and frequency of impact and torsional loading of joints, including use of sports equipment that decreases joint impact loading, maintaining or improving muscle strength, tone, and general conditioning so that muscle contractions help protect joints from injury and high impact, and decreasing body weight.

Running speed and spinal shrinkage in runners with and without low back pain

Abstract

Decreases in stature (shrinkage) are used to indicate exercise induced spinal loading. This study examined the effect of three running speeds on two groups of runners, one with chronic low back pain. The two groups of seven male marathon runners ran at 70%, 85%, and 100% of their marathon race pace for 30 min on separate occasions. Before and after exercise the subjects were seated for 20 min with the lumbar spine supported. Stature was measured before pre-exercise sitting, before running, after 15 min of running, after 30 min of running, and after post-exercise sitting. A stadiometer accurate to within 0.5 mm was used to record changes in stature. Results showed no differences in response to the three running regimens between the groups (P > 0.05). Shrinkage was greater during the first 15 min, being 3.26 (+/- 2.78) mm compared with 2.12 (+/- 1.61) mm for the second 15 min of the run (P < 0.05). The faster the running speed the greater the resultant shrinkage. The 70%, 85%, and 100% conditions caused 3.37 (+/- 2.38), 5.10 (+/- 1.90), and 7.69 (+/- 3.69) mm of shrinkage, respectively (P < 0.005). These results suggest that low back pain is independent of the shrinkage induced by running. Further research is required to determine the effect of longer duration runs on spinal shrinkage.

And the bad for your back/knees/joints/whatver usually is the result of terrible diet that promotes inflammation and never properly heals.

Also, this part is fucking hilarious and makes absolutely no sense.

I just wanted to share something wierd that happened to my jumping ability.
Before last week I was focusing on Strength and Force Absorption, my DLRVJ
was increasing marginily each week then suddendly it droppped 2-4 inches, my SVJ was
still good but it seemed the more force i tried to put in the ground on run-ups the lower
my vert was. I was baffled and tried a whole bunch of different shit. Then after a game last week I started
thinking whilst be pissed off. I went outside of my house at about nine oclock at night and did some
pogo's, ankle hops, Lateral cone hops. THE VERY NEXT DAY I WAS FLYING WHAT THE F***K.
so from now on I include a lot of stuff for my ankles strenghth/stiffness in my training.

Just thought I'd share it with yall. 

I just love the numbers on the long jumps (horizontal jumps). I think it's such an underrated way to train for your jumping height.

I don't get why a "squat plant" (both feet at the same time) has more posterior chain amortization ???

I thought the quads take a lot more beating trying to decelerate and prevent the knees from collapsing than when planting sideways, since planting sideways brings a bit of a twist and the plant occurs at a different angle than a direct overload of the quads that happens in a straight-forward plant.

I don't get it.

Hey, this forum looks great, I'v been training for VJ for about three years now,

I started on all that jumpsoles and air alert B.S! and for the last 2 years through reading and learning info
on forums like these I've incresed my vert to from not being able to touch the ring to aboout a 11' touch. I did this through increasing my Squat from about ~100kg to 125kg for a 5rm as well as increasing explosiveness through jumps squats and stuff and through shock. (i have real bad genetics, right now my maximum running vertical is the same as my drop step vertical, DLRVJ)

Country = Australia
Age = 16
Height = 6'3"
Reach = bout 8'2"
Squat = 125x5
Weight = 85kg

ps. Adarqui is the man (no homo)
