I was going to make a comment about his GCT being too long, but then I remembered that he can jump way higher than I can.  So I won't say anything.

Well yeah that shifts things a bit more towards the muscle side of jumping and away from the tendon side of jumping BUT STILL - to be able to stabilize, jump, land, stabilize, jump etc is amazing.

If you consider yourself a beast, then it's not.

I'll give it a shot soon!  I can do single leg hurdle hops over 39" so I might be able to pull off a single response over higher.  I don't know if I can get 48" though.

I am also not 100% sure that hurdle is 48"... just because it comes up to the top of where his shorts would be when he is at full drop and he is 5'10".  I am 6'1 almost, and the top of my trochanter is 39-40".  The top of my shorts is around 42".  If I pull them up like Urkel, it is 48".   It is still beastly off one leg though!!! Who knows maybe it really is 48" I'll try this next week when my back is feeling a bit better and see what I come up with.

I take it back, I just went in the weightroom and set up a 48" hurdle.... I think it might actually be 48".  I have a challenge cut out for me now, haha!

What would you say is the difference in terms of pure training effect in doing very high single respons jumps like the video I posted and doing say shorter hurdles but multiple jumps?

multiple response, which is typically the way I do single leg hurdle stuff... is more effect on the muscle tendon complex as a whole.  insane exercise for ankle stiffness... which is a good thing bc holm has 4x as stiff achilles as the average human.  The single response will be more all out CNS drive than doing multiples over low hurdles, but they are both good exercises.  I would actually recommend doing multiples over several hurdles, but you can certainly do both in training.  I think multiples are good also because you will always have a good forward momentum and hit the ground at a constant angle.  jamillian kind of shuffles down into his plant to get a better liftoff instead of really dropping and you can't cheat with multiple hurdles

My attempt from today.....

It's weird, I can only get about 2-4 inches higher jumping off two feet.  I need to get a dunk mix up soon.
