Article & Video Discussion / Re: Joel Smith's one-leg jump peak program

Well in the past the shock and collapse would've happen in the VMO area. Right now the shock and feeling of weakness when the collapse occurs happens in the lower part of the hamstring of the left leg (I can feel the part just above the knee stiffen up and giving up and the knee goes forward). So interestingly enough, the quad doesn't feel overload but instead that ^^^ happens.
So, like I said, maybe the hamstring contracts eccentrically to prevent hip collapse and as the hamstring contracts the quad needs to relax - and this leads to the knee going forwards.
Because the hip can collapse too (get too low) and maybe that's happening. No idea if I'm right or not.
Lance was hinting towards the hamstring not being able to maintain the same length during the plant if I'm right but still, what does that have to do with the knee? Maybe if the hamstring contracts more on the knee end then knee flexion occurs and that's it - the knee goes forward and collapses into the jump.
