There is none. Your structure doesn't change.

Seated calf raises = soleus being the protagonist of the movement.
Standing calf raises = the calf (gastrocnemius) being the protagonist of the movement. The gastroc is not really active when the knee is bent.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Importance of Low Body Fat Percentage When Jumping
« on: April 06, 2012, 06:11:13 am »A standing jump starts with speed==0 and thus only has part (b).
That simply is not true. It would be true for a paused standing VJ. But in a regular one, when you quickly bend down you HAVE to amortizate that as well. So it's not completely 0 speed.

Maybe he weighs 100 lbs.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: Really Good Video - Common Vertical Jump Training Errors
« on: April 05, 2012, 09:31:33 am »
Yeah all those issues that ball players have technically are due to either:
1) Lack of strength in the proper places to "look" and "act" good on their run-up/plants
or
2) Lack of practice
Sometimes there's a 3rd:
3) Bad structure for that particular jumping method. But truth be told, you're going to have a bad structure if SOMEONE tells you to jump differently (say a two footed jumper meets someone who tells him to jump off one leg and he sucks - that could be a structure problem but MOST LIKELY it's a lack of practice and lack of strength in the proper places).
When I started to jump 12 years ago after doing no kind of sports up until that point (up until being 15 years old) - obviously I was completely uncoordinated and had a 12 inch jump. But over time I'd say my jump technique got pretty good just by jumping day in and day out to the rim. I had no understanding whatsoever of training/techique or anything like that, just jump.

Yes but the other rim opposed to this 120 inch rim is 119".
