i was wondering if you would catch my "squat doesn't work hip flexors" a few posts back.. but you didn't.
Too many posts man, lol.
i thought you were a pro, i am disappoint.
not much hip flexion in a first step... not much hip flexion in really quick short distance movements..
Hip flexors fire the knees.
how do they fire the knees?
Do a pedal stroke. Your on the back portion. Your knees move forwards.
what.
do a sprint, knee moves forward also while in recovery phase, but it's not actively extending.
all the power comes from the core? news to me..
explain how all of the power comes from the core? is there some kind of magic going on that i don't know about? holdup, must be that boing vert secret society shit.
Yup, core muscles fire before extremities.
Weak at the core, huge power leaks.

the "core" is just a copout for not knowing how to train people.. the core is highly overrated in jumping.. people's cores are sufficiently strong enough to handle the force in the plant, unless you see round back/caving going on, the person is fine, and it will have no bearing on "power leaks".
"oh bro u got a power leak" -> translation -> "oh bro i dno what im talking about so i just talk out of my ass when in reality you have to get a fuckload stronger in your legs/glutes/calves"
if you can't squat 2.5xBW+ on legit half or deep, the power leak is that you have weak legs, has nothing to do with core unless you're caving over in your squat, which you shouldn't be if you're progressing your lift over time, core will be sufficiently strong.
bbl, doing secret core/stretching/medball boingvert secret society exercises, aka dog park.
