Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Age vs Vertical

I would beg to differ. It's not the hamstring flexibility that's lacking, it's the hip flexor flexibility.
When you have short hip flexors you put the pelvis in anterior tilt. That stretches the hamstrings continuously. And when you ask of them to stretch EVEN MORE they start to get out of range of motion. And then you obviously think it's them that is the culprit. When in fact, they shouldn't have been that elongated to begin with.
Solve the hip flexor flexibility problem, get the pelvis in a neutral position, get the hamstrings back to their original length (shorter, that is) and then you'll be able to stretch them properly.

Why do you do seated raises.
Btw, I do something like explosive concentric, pause, 3 second eccentric.

What tempo do you have on the calf raises?

Yeah that's why I say it's weird. Obviously there's an underlying cause... but I haven't been able to find out what it is. Long story short, it doesn't REALLY matter. You can only control what you can control, and that is strength, body composition and movement efficiency, pretty much.

I don't get it though. I mean I know everybody is different and all that, but something is "afoot" here. Maybe you have stronger quads or something?
Granted, I'm 10 kg heavier than you. So there you go.

You still have a better vert at 40 than me at 30. I think my SVJ is ~24 right now, dropstep ~26 or so. And you don't squat 120x7, low bar or whatnot.
