so is it still on for tomorrow?
 :P
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

  Ok, the more linear the results the more effecient, so landing right where you started is obviously the goal.  Sometimes the quad/glute dominance is an issue and sometimes its not, but going straight up and down is going to give optimum results regardless. 

IF YOU LANDED IN FRONT OF THE LINE- 

Practice the top 1/3 of the jump, exaggerating triple extension, with special attention to the knee and ankle. Shoulders can also  be  an issue, so make sure to extend FULLY, and not what you THINK is fully.  Think "reach  backwards".  If youre still landing forwards, try to make yourself  jump  backwards slightly, and up.


IF YOU LANDED  bEHIND THE LINE-

Get into a semi goodmorning position (hips  back, knees only slightly  bent).  Practice from this position over and over until you feel fluent with it, and are getting some decent height.  Eventually add in a little more knee  bend, without losing the powerful hip extension youve practiced.


IF YOU LANDED ON THE LINE-

Good  job, youre doing it right.
Relax.

When I said I landed 8 inches behind the line, that was only from 1 try, but regardless, lately I have been attempting to do all my lifts and etc.. more hip dominant and doing more glute activation exercises and such.  And now, I tried this test again today with more breaking at the hips and I landed on the line on one of them lol.

Edit:  I just tried 5 more, and each of them, I landed either on the line, or 1" behind or in front.  I guess I'm equally using hips and quads now?

Goal is to dunk.

Vertical needed to dunk: 40"

Current vertical : 38.5"

I tried what you said try imagining jumping backwards and i landed on the line right dead in the centre in line with the centre of my feet only once did i land with my heel on the line when i didn't think hard of jumping back.

thanks man

Yea good work, it can mean different things but the one thing you know for sure is now youre producing more VERTICAL forces with your sv.
Relax.

Hey Lance, if someone's goal is strictly SLRVJ's and sprinting, wouldn't it be more beneficial for this person to try and be as hip dominant as possible and try to get way in front of the line in this force vector test?

Also with the added benefit of lowering knee problem risks?

Yes you want to be hip/glute dominant for single leg, but the goal of the test is to teach you how to do the sv without wasted movement, regardless of dominance.  No matter where you land, the most efficient vertical goes straight up.

Like the vertical bar path in a hump powerclean, right?

 Exactly like that.  Everything moves in a vertical path, curls, kettlebell swings, stiff leg power cleans, etc.
