I think you were right when you said you started to use a longer amotization and depend more on the quads and less on your ankles/calves which are worse developed than the quads in your case.

How much is a jump mat by the way?

What do you mean "not sure why you got pinned"?

i remember this session, i felt like i was going to just fly, too bad my ham pulled... single leg.. trying to become single leg was tough.. those hamstring/quad "pulls/cramps" really wrecked my leg

Yeah I guess a very good balance between the quads and the hamstrings is needed for one leg jumps. If the hamstring is weak then you will collapse in the plant and the collapse will be disguised as a quad weakness, when in fact the quads are being overloaded because the hamstring is too weak and to relieve tension off it the knees will go forward and overload the quads...

It's taken me a while to figure this out but this is actually the truth of the matter.

Maybe I should focus much more on hamstring development in my own training if I want good one-leg jumps. That and calf development.

Did you do kneeling or standing ab wheel rollouts?

By the way, that squat weight was a joke for you.

Nah man I use oly shoes and never come up on my toes.

Have you ever tried putting a block under your TOES (not heel). Wonder what will do for quad activ

I've seen people deadlift like that.

I know you're supposed to, but I kinda tend to go a bit towards the toes when I go down (or at least I was when I was squatting high bar) and that loads your quads quite a bit more in my experience because it moves the center of gravity a bit forward as well so the blunt of the load is being taken care of by the quads.

Obviously if the knees are going forward then you'll lose hamstring tension and load the quads more as well.

Maybe you stay a ton on your heels or something?
