I'm trying to find A Link's video anyways to check it out... I want to see this hand clapping!

Link me?

Also Raptor thanks for the kind words man.

I don't know you but I think I follow your channel on youtube, and I've seen you on other forums.

1. I was a jumper in high school and recruited to college and competed at state, and conference levels.

More importantly...

2. I have trained Olympic high jumpers, long, and triple jumpers including the Nation record holder of India for High Jump and Triple Jump. I also trained their coaching staff per invitation at Sports Authority of India.  The picture... that you said I "shopped" is me after training the Olympic and Powerlifting teams on how to use chains and bands as well as setting up a training to maximize explosive ability.  This was all in person and I have testimonials and pictures with me training and teaching their Olympic development staff.



3. Dude.. to just come out and say I "plagiarized" is pretty rough... could you show me the video you think I used so I could see where you are coming from?

Again I'm just trying to represent myself here...


Adarq -

"he is not looking at his notes"  -   ?????

I've taught this very technique in person 1000 times to countless athletes in several sports... I don't need notes for it... I would if I didn't know it off the top of my head.

Anyways, I'm not trying to start a fight, but I just want to be represented fairly bro.


I'm honestly just baffled at how certain "LanceSTS" that I have even seen Adam's video... Please link me, I tried to find it but can't.

I GUARANTEE I can trace back me teaching this concept before mine or Links video EVER came out.  It was in the original Jump Manual, and I taught it before I even put my program online.

Adam L.  I'm sure did not plagiarize me (although I haven't seen all his stuff on this I don't think) and he's a cool fella ... but SEVERAL people have AND I have later been accused of copying my own copycats!  Jumping for for basketball, and track is something I have been doing since highschool, in 1998.

I already see people posting material that is in my jumping form ebook... did they come up with it separately from me?  Not sure... all I now is several bits of it I have never seen ANYWHERE else - and now bits are starting to pop up.

In the end I don't fret it... we all build upon the body of knowledge and are "standing on the shoulders of giants" so to speak.  When people copy my stuff it's a compliment, and I would appreciate a shout out... but there are at least 2 programs out there that are amazingly similar to mine and came out later.  And dozens of articles I have written I have seen verbatim or paraphrased by others.

Think of how Louie, or Verk. must feel.

I'm just sayin...

lol i was kidding, didn't know if it was shopped or not, it just has a shopped feel with a big white dude in between two indian dudes.

lookin` big.

 I just got back in town so I didnt see this till today.

  Jacob, that video is not the one in question, adam has a video of him vlogging where he shows his particular way of teaching that step that came out before your video is.  I dont know FOR SURE that you copied it, you could have had a coach in high school who taught it EXACTLY the same way as his coach taught him, im not the judge on that one.  What i can tell you is that there are MANY different ways of teaching the penultimate step in track and field, here is one with Tom tellez, you saying that ALL coaches use the claps as a metronome in the way adam did is funny as hell to me man, I have worked with many many many track and field jumpers throughout my career and i have never seen it taught EXACTLY that way once.

Either way I dont care, adam can come on here and paste the vid that in question if he wants, it was basically the same exact video you have w/ adam talking.  If you really were taught in the exact same manner and hadnt seen his prior to filming your, it was all just bad timing * (see the squatflex promotion accidental timing )  then i apologize for that.  

LOL - See squat flex "accidental timing...

It wasn't that my timing was an "accident" I just don't see how any timing changes how or why I promoted.

(take that question back there if you want or IM me...)

I did a quick search about clapping and track and field:

This guy:
Talks about using clapping for the steps in triple jump:
http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/kennebec-journal/mi_8137/is_20100530/triple-jump-art/ai_n53841939/

This one:
Talks about using the clap to help throwers get their steps right:
"Start simply by having athletes clap the rhythm of the throw"
http://ezinearticles.com/?Discus-Throw-Secrets&id=2505998

Another:
This one recommends using a clap to give an audio cue - which I have found to be common as well (for triple jump).
"You can also clap your hands as they land to give them an audio cue hearing the rhythm."

Another:
This also recommends using the clap and having an audio cue for the steps:

I think that the getting a rhythm is obviously important for jumps to help the jumper relax as well as get the proper footwork in place AND clapping just seems like the most natural way to train that rhythm.. IMO.

I'm curious how you teach the takeoff lance... might be interesting.

How do you teach the approach and takeoff?

If you google "clapping and .... anything" youre gonna find some examples of it,  i am in agreement about the rythm being taught in specific ways, i have seen snapping, demos with the stride from the coaches, drumming on a table and the ground, etc., but the claps on the video was a new one for me, note that tom didnt do that either in his video.

ME- The acceleration into the jump is always important, the penultimate step will differ according to the individual characteristics of the athlete, look at how alot of the european track and field coaches are teaching the penultimate step presently, it varies greatly.  Trying to force an athlete into a pen step thats not comfortable or optimal for their individual structures, strengths, etc., will hurt them more than help them.  

  "Substantial track and field background"- looks like you triple jumped 42 feet and five inches? nice man,srsly, I respect jumpers, I have worked with alot of them.  One of the female athletes I worked with throughout college here at Sam Houston jumped 42 feet and 11 and a half inches her sr year so I know and respect what kind of triple jump that is.

lol - I can't tell if this is serious or not.  I'm curious where you got that number, I jumped well over that in high school... haha...
I jumped more then that in high school, really nothing to brag about my high school and college athlete days were full of unreached potential... my college jumping career was nothing special...  it wasn't until after college sports that I actually "figured things out" and started getting results to be proud about.

I communicate with Adam every now and then and actually had talked to him about this forum.

Regardless, you know me now... and from what i can tell you don't "really" have a problem with me.. I don't think, so if you have problems with me it'd be appreciated if you come to me first or at least inquire.
