Kelly, have you ever done or prescribed very heavy iso calf raises on the top of the movement? Like, hold for 30s with a 200 kg barbell on the back etc?

No, I can't. I live in Romania. It's complicated here with cards and bands and stuff. I don't know any sports store that has bands for training by the way. And I don't think the powerjumper is deliverable in Romania, I think Jack Woodrup sent me the powerjumper himself or something like that.

And by the way, when I said "in the one-leg jump ROM" I meant - with the knee bent 20-26 degrees, so not in the full hip extension. I'd like to overload my amortization phase isometric position, which is knee and hip a little bent.

Interesting. Well in my particular case, I already have incredible stride frequency in sprints, so my beef with the hip flexors would be to use them to pull the non-jumping leg's knee up better in a unilateral jump, so I need explosiveness with that and strength, so my leg is easier to pull up and therefore the movement is faster.

I still think of ways to overload the jumping leg isometrically in the same exact position as in a one-leg jump. Beats me a way to do it other than a isometric leg press hold in that ROM.

Any comments on how would you personally train for that?

Well, he did say "changes the stiffness of human tendon-aponeurosis complex in knee extensors". In a hip thrust hold, there isn't too much knee extensor activity other than stabilizing etc.

How about what I'm doing here:

The aim of that was just good ol' plain ISO strength. Rep time is ~20s.

If you don't overdo it, you're probably going to gain more by having a more glute driven squat than you'd lose by tendon stiffness adaptations, if any, that will occur in my opinion.

Well it's no coincidence that the irradiation effect comes from the core (although it's not limited to that).

This is interesting:



These articles rock. Makes me think of Schroderisch LDISOs.

Man these guys are some FAT seals...

I like this:

Maybe you should try some left handed dunks... or dribble dunks? I'd like to see you dunk off one leg off the dribble... that would be easier to do in games.
