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).

We'll see how this gain in half squat strength/speed correlates with your jumps in the near future.

I should write again and say "he's still at 60% bodyfat, he needs to lose some" and see what he responds. If he says I'm right again, then he's not at 20%

Well it's more to it than just bodyweight. Due to the effects a lot of bodyfat have on your posture, you will load the muscles/tendons/joints differently than without that much bodyfat. But yeah, he's not "that" fat.

Don't ever do this again. And focus on lowering your bodyfat and nothing else.
