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.

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.

What about if you measure yourself at the same exact time each day you do it (say immediately after you wake up)?

What about those weighing machines that use bioelectrical impedance? I know they aren't the most accurate things in the world (in fact Lance was telling scooby to check out about that on google) but if you use the SAME machine again and again... I guess it's a good way to compare your progress.
