it's hard to say man. everything happens pretty quickly but there's not much to show how high you're getting. it looks like your approach is really inefficient: you seem to be shuffling your feet at the end and taking a little hop step before you plant. approach should be a smooth acceleration into the plant.

watch me at 0:23 and 1:15 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaiZOr-tOcw

then watch scooby here: http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/scooby-2011-journal/msg104719/#msg104719.

see the difference? i'm not wasting any steps, each step i take adds speed, but not so much that i collapse or can't convert it into the jump. scooby got way better after this -- and i used to jump like that, too -- but in this vid he's chopping his feet and it's ruining his shit. read through the comments from me and chris and others about his approach over the next few pages of his journal.

Was able to jump 28 inches today (running double legged) with little to no pain! Still getting 21 inches on my standing single leg jump (left). I still CANNOT leave the ground with only my right leg though. Measured my reach again and it's actually 6'11.5 in shoes, not 6'11. I get 1.5" from my running shoes.

How to I elongate my penultimate step and increase my speed at takeoff? Thanks!

Thanks. I'll start doing that stuff when I am able to. Did you ever end up measuring your single leg standing vert?

I had a dexa scan to measure my body fat % and it was 19%...This is probably because I've never worked out. I don't think I've ever been under 15% in my life. The breakdown of body fat per body part is as follows:

Glutes-29% bf
Hamstrings-23% bf
Calves-23% bf
Lower back-21% bf
Quads-18% bf
Biceps-16% bf
Triceps-15% bf
Abs-14% bf
Chest-13% bf
Forearms-13% bf

Very interesting to say the least...

Bad news guys. i went to the top ankle ortho in Chicago and he told me that my two deep deltoid ligaments are totally torn and my posterior tibial tendon is degenerating. I will be getting surgery in two weeks and the recovery will take a year...

god damn. how did that happen?

The deltoid ligament complex in the ankle is actually made up of 4 ligaments: 2 superficial and 2 deep ligaments. The two deep ones were completely torn, but the radiologist simply noted this as a "partial tear" because all four deltoid ligaments were not torn. My new ankle ortho, upon viewing the actual MRI, said that this confused my old ortho and explained that the deep deltoid ligaments are the most important ligaments in the ankle...if they are completely torn, surgery is needed. He said that the posterior tibial tendon gets more load and degenerates if the foundation (deltoid ligaments) of the ankle is compromised and said that he would need to clean out the inflamed synovium surrounding that tendon as well. Apparently if left untreated, I could have developed a flat foot due to the degeneration of the posterior tibial tendon. He said I should make a good recovery though with time. Thanks for asking.

Fucking pissed  :raging: I BADLY messed up my ankle on saturday. There go my vertical jump dreams. I posted what happened on another forum.

Here: http://osteochondraldefect.net/forum/index.php?topic=205.msg1062#new

And you have been walking on a foot with totally torn deep ligaments for 4+ months??? Crazy!!! Dangerous too.
Heal well man, hopes for the best. Don't lose hope either, neither rush it, you are only 24, you have many good years of training when you get back healthy.

I actually still have a 28" running vert, as measured yesterday. Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt much unless I land with that foot, but I land only on my left foot. I am unable to run though without severe pain. PT hasn't really improved anything though for obvious reasons. I had a friend who waited 8 months after an acl tear to repair it and he was walking fine after 1-2 months. I don't think full ligament tears hurt as much as partial tears because there is nothing being irritated.

Yep it was that injury. The first MRI did not detect all the damage because of all the swelling. The second MRI did, but my first doc was not very good.

If he gets pissed off about a normal question by a person interested in his/her own health, he should do something else. Clean toilets, stuff like that.
