Fuck box jumps!
Cool video though...
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

The weightlifter has an advantage in the shoes allowing him to get lower in the SVJ and exert more power through a longer ROM.

The weightlifter has an advantage having done endless squats and cleans and snatches in the shoes allowing him to get lower in the SVJ and exert more power through a longer ROM.

Fixed!  :P

Great. I'm going to start doing box jumps from a below parallel position, since that clearly confers biomechanical advantages.

 :uhhhfacepalm:
"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.

It does - more time to generate power. In any kind of SVJ, that's a good thing.

Really? I just assumed since most of his training involves moving the body from that position it's just his motor pattern.
