KB swinging jump vid coming soon.

Um... when I saw the staircase to the right I thought you were going to use that.

#dissapointed

lol I landed like that and jumped forward because it was just a bad landing lol!

And sorry raptor in the future I'll do that

But in the video where I performed the original avishekdrop it was from the same height, in fact in this video it's even higher.

I always wondered what avishek drops were, now i know. can't wait to see the kettle bell jumps.

I see you have a long ammortization phase, how does that help? you practically absorb all the force and then jump.

Lol...avishekdrops are actually a joke but they can and will improve explosiveness. ANd avishekdrops are actually just depth drops form a high height but in this video I added the depth jump to it too. so it's an avishekdropjump i guess.

Well... it's like doing jump squats with a long amortization phase, there is just more force to absorb and jump up with. So it takes longer. In a mini depth jump there is less force, and so less time is needed, and this can make you faster.

Actually, you can recruit all your motor neurons from doing 80%+ of 1RM squats, so the need of doing depth jumps knowing that is SEVERELY overrated.

really?

I think depth jumps are overrated too. I think jump squats can accomplish the same type of eccentric force absorption that depth drops are supposed to, it's all about gravity after all right?

For example, sometimes when I go do sprints on the track the fence is locked so I hop over. After I climb to the top and put my leg over sometimes i jump from there, it's a good depth drop, my hips are at about 7+ feet I'd say. When I used to do 185lbs jump squats back in the day WAY before I could even squat 2x bw, I could EASILY land in a half squat position from that drop.

Doing more depth drops also helps me land more easily form that drop... but when I wasn't doing any plyos and was squatting often, I couldn't land it like that, I just landed in a deep squat.

But I think that ability whatever it is is very useful for jumping but depth jumps aren't necessary. And the way more people perform depth jumps, off of very low heights, is probably useless. I prefer single legged depth jumps only. But since I made this video i'll do these more consistently too.

And the winner is... Lance's 1-2 jump squat!

showing the difference on the tendo unit between the traditional jumpsquat (1st) and the reactive 1-2 jump squat (2nd). The 1-2 (2nd) gave between .3-.5 m/s faster, consistently giving a more explosive and powerful result. This version is very beneficial to 2leg rvj as well as svj.

this makes sense.

When I do jump squats I often do the first rep at a 1/2 squat (pretty low actually right above parallel), then immediately upon foot contact on the landing, do a little ankle hop rebound or a 1/4 squat quick jump. haven't been consistent but it of course feels so much better, it adds that depth jump element to it.
