lol yea, i like to see how high and far these guys run, and how fast they are in the 40 yd dash. really beastly to jump 40+ inches from a standstill while weighing 200+ lbs. unfortunately there are no 6'0 155 lbs NFL players, so i cant compare size with them lol. and yea, nba players arent THAT explosive as everyone thinks, the NFL makes them look like WNBA athletes lol. you cant blame them though i guess, cause you need to have a lot more conditioning rather than pure explosiveness. also, basketball is requires more skill which you can use to make up any athletic disadvantages you have

That is true, but it is just the way it is measured for reference. I guess it just replicates the olympic games measurement system ( see long jump and triple jump ).
Given the chance, not sure if you people are aware, broad jump WAS an olympic event early on : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_long_jump

yup i read about that. also read they still do that in some countries as a competition

just to confirm, when you measure your Broad jump with measuring tape you line up the start your heels right? it seems like a lot of people line the front of their foot at the start

hmm, im actually confused as to exactly what knee injury i have. i actually dont feel any pain on the tendon above my knee when i press on it. the patellar tendon seems fine too

might have go for a longer break. my condition hasn't been tendonitis for a long time now, just tendonosis. will take a long time for the tendon to get better again

stick to RL plant jumps and left knee and quad should be fine

yea.. was guessing that. i wanted to ask to make sure cause when i plant LR i feel more pressure on my right leg too. more so the shin area than the knee though.

i was able to get the rim with both hands off a standing, flat footed vertical before. i struggle to broad jump over 7 ft though

does not compute. however, sounds like you've got something to work on. a 7' broad jump is woeful. i'm in the middle of the pack on here explosiveness-wise and my broad jump is over 9'.

let your knee guide you to what's safe, but i'd suggest starting with glute activation stuff like single-leg bridges, bridge holds, ISO BSS, x-band walks, and 4-way cable hip extensions. keep it light and high-rep, and focus hard on activating your butt. you can also do stuff like KB/DB swings, focusing on the hip snap, and RDLs.

i wouldn't do anything with high impact until my knee felt better, if i were you.

the 2 hand rim grab was tested when i was pretty pumped up while playing pickup whereas i just tested the broad jump randomly at home, and i was getting tendonitis then so that may be why theres a big difference. and yea, ive been working hard at trying to become more hip dominant, but ive dropped everything for a month now.
