Article & Video Discussion / Re: Joel Smith's one-leg jump peak program
« on: June 22, 2011, 04:51:06 pm »
Would you say that the limiting factor is hamstring "responsiveness" in preventing knee collapse at high speed in a one-leg jump. According to Lance, once the quad is developed pretty well, it's not even the hamstring strength that's the limiting factor, it's how the hamstring comports itself in a high speed plant.
At first I wasn't sure he's right but now I'm convinced he is. I can do about 8-10 natural glute ham raises no problem, yet I still have knee collapse issues in my plants, especially as I'm not warmed up. The knee just goes forward and I fail my jump. And apparently, lately, it happens as I feel the knee part of the hamstring not being able to cope with the shock.
It still doesn't make any sense in my mind biomechanically as the quad should contract eccentrically to stop the knee from going forward and not the hamstring. The only thing I see is 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. That's the only thing I can see happen.

Yeah, I know, and he knows, but unfortunately there isn't a leg curl machine in there. How about toes-in RDLs?

power jumper vid was hilarious
What do you mean? Overload the landing a bit more with my armswing? Maybe I should use a double arm swing landing (although I'm not really aware of what it should look like - I'll have to experiment and find out
)?You know it's funny, I was doing these with a subsequent jump in the gym a few days ago and used double arm swings with that (really interesting). I never use the double arm swing but I did then.

Is it Smolov JR the "Smolov program - Base mesocycle" in here http://joeskopec.com/smolov.html ?
Anyway, did you put in your real 1RM with the program or a little less than your true 1RM? For example, if I'm to use it, I think I'll insert a lower 1RM number than my real 1RM (say - 135 instead of 140-145).

With his two leg bounds - his feet are rotating out (heels coming in) A LOT. A LOT = A LOT.
