I know because I suck off two feet, and I tend to have this bad high center of gravity run-ups that when I actually plant I "crash" into the ground and never recover. So I'm actually doing a depth drop, stabilizing the landing, and then do a standing vertical jump. Except instead of that I have a "momentum" SVJ which results in a HORRIBLE jump.

You probably maintain a lower center of gravity during the run-up in the successful ones.

How do you feel so far vs where you started... in terms of everything?

Yup. If you see your run-up speed starting to decrease considerably, that's the first sign of a "upperleg dominant" jumper if you will.

It's interesting that your running vert went up by 5 inches, but your standing very only went up by 2. You either have some very functional calves/good structure for running jumps and you were really lacking in upperleg/glute strenght, or that you don't really care about the standing jump.

Any ideas?

Why? What stops you from doing a higher volume if there are more people in the gym? If you can do all those singles and triples then obviously you could do a higher volume as well.

today, i am 26. that's an age  :personal-record:

in other news, my mental calendar had today as a gym day, but it inconveniently forgot that my parents are taking me out for some kind of surprise tonight. so no workout today. here's hoping the extra day of rest sets me up for good jumping tomorrow.

If I neg your post, does your age decrease by one? :derp:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantaris_muscle

Quote
Plantaris is a vestigial structure and one of the superficial muscles of the posterior crural compartment of the leg.

It is innervated by the tibial nerve (S1, S2) .

It is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon. It is approximately 2-4 inches long, and is absent in 7-10% of the human population. It is one of the plantar flexors in the superior compartment of the leg along with the gastrocnemius, and soleus. The plantaris is considered an unimportant muscle and mainly acts with gastrocnemius.[1]

Anybody knows of this?
