Cool.

And remember - keep it simple and progress on that simple workout. Get the most bang for the buck exercises and keep on improving them. End of story.

You remind me a lot of myself when I first started doing bounds... I still do them like you do them here when I go LRLRLR but when I do them on the same leg, I can dorsiflex well. You don't dorsiflex at all in either version... that's the thing.

Ask Lance about them... post these videos there, see what he thinks. He knows more about bounding than I am.

Yeah I'm not "bothered" or anything like that... if I have a problem with what he writes, I can just ignore it and move on. It's great that he's passionate about it and wants to know everything, but at his current level he would be better served working his ass out and really focusing on the basics.

Sometimes the more you know the more that additional information can deter you off the right path, because you're anxious to "try something new, maybe this works better".

Um... (youtube) video (/youtube), just using [ and ] instead?

As for the video - believe it or not, I used to do that on a chair with wheels (the kind of office desk chair)... it gave me cramps :D

It probably happens because (at least I do) you tend to keep muscle isometrically contracted when you stretch... so... that's basically isometric strength training.

Damn, you really went down in that 3rd set ... 11+9 and then suddenly only 5. I have that tendency as well. Maybe we just have fast twitch fibers that don't have enough time to recover in 45 s :D

Would you do sprints before bounds (if you're to do them separately) or bounds before sprints? I personally do sprints before bounds because I get warmed up well after sprints.

I can't remember the last time a user had soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (you get the point) many questions. Seriously. Not even I years ago.

PointerRyan: So you need protein to grow, right?
Random user: Yeah
PointerRyan: Yeah but is the spoon material important?
Random user: Nope
PointerRyan: OK, got it, but if the spoon is made of metal, could it disturbe the balance of metals in the bloodstream?
Random user: Nah, don't worry about it
PointerRyan: OK but the timing could be wrong, so ... should I take protein before or after the workout?
Random user: Take it around the time of the workout
PointerRyan: Right, but ...

duh...

I'm tired of writing this...

To be honest, I have no idea. I have no idea how the muscles can stabilize 10x your bodyweight even for a very short time and until I understand that... I can't really comment. I can speculate but... I don't really have anything to base my speculation off.

The thing is that when your body (golgi receptors etc) feels that high of a shock it's going to recruit a very high % of your muscle fibers to support that, and they stay activated (recruited) enough to give you a concentric push as well. So you're going to use a higher % of your muscles than if you weren't to take in that shock and you were just putting out voluntary force (because, although the one-leg jump is isometric as far as planting goes, it's still concentric when you push off - you still have an angle at the hips that you push off from - so the glutes do a ton of concentric, voluntary push).

At least this is how I understand the one-leg jump.
