cool... i think the only time I've done this exercise was with dumbells, and I was spinning in circles, hits the hammies hard, maybe i"ll post a vid later, i'm subscribing to you (theAKtor is my username, subscribe to me?? :))

But I would definitely work up to adding speed and shock to single legged jumping exercises. I can't tell if there are too easy for you or not, but they could be more intense by adding a chair or something to jump onto or going horizontally. But if ur tendons ain't ready for that it ain't good
"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.
