Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: First review after 3 session of Jump approach pratice

Yeah I know what you mean. Well, I'll time my 800m when I get to the track but I have a feeling that it will be a major dissapointment

I don't know what "being in shape" means anyway. It's just an expression people use to describe you getting tired easly or something. But what defines someone as "being in shape"? Doing what?

I'm still dissapointed I haven't seen a one leg jump from you for quite some time... you had a thing going on with that. I don't get why you don't practice it more... speaking of which, what about calf development and strength?

Now now, don't be disrespectful... she's a woman, she has the right to say anything to you, to abuse you, you name it. Not having a dick in her pants gives her that right. You betcha!

That's because it is, but once the top speed is achieved. That's why a top speed sprint is closer to the one leg jump while the acceleration part of a sprint is closer to the two footed jump (where voluntary concentric power is important).

You need to dorsiflex when you bound, which you currently don't. That's why you have knee issues (at least if you always bound like you did here). You kept the ankle extended here and landed in plantar flexion which loads the knee up like a bitch. You need to land with the foot more under you than in front of you and that will also allow you to dorsiflex better.

Nah it's more of a technical analysis about one-leg jumping. Some people aren't aware of what they do wrong technically when they jump off one leg. Also, it's a good resource of true plyometrics and programming.

If he's not in shape, then that doesn't bode well for me getting really tired after half a mile.

Do you intend to go up again in bodyweight and improve your strength even more? More bodyweight is not that bad for SVJ purposes.

Heck, everything is great, not just that.
I really like what he said with one-leg jumping, that "isometric-explosive" part. Nobody ever talks about that and I've said that first I think about 9 years ago, that the one-leg jump is more isometric in nature (keeping the leg rigid).
