That didn't look high at all... he just comes down to the ground so quickly... I don't know... it looked really weird to me, like a ~32 inch jump or something, done by a tall guy.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Plyometric give me Metatarsal Pain... >.<

You could try Toddday's earning your steps in the run-up: first try one-step jumps... once you get good at them, and you're smooth, try using two steps in your run-up. And so on. Try to get progressively faster if you're using more and more steps. Also, try some relaxed jumps. If you tense up too much, that's the OPPOSITE of speed. To be fast you need to be relaxed. The jump should be just a "pulse" of tension and then relaxation follows to allow you to be very fast after you applied your strength.
Martial artists make this an art. When they break the blocks with a hit, it's a quick snap of tension followed by relaxation (for speed development) followed by tension again.

They claimed 46" off 3 steps. I believe it.
Yeah but how much he squats?

I actually prefer a lot of cushioning - I prefer running shoes that bend and diform, and that have a foam sole, and then I'm complaining that they deform too much and that I can't use too much speed because they'd just bend sideways and twist your ankle or something.
But if I try stiffer shoes, I collapse on almost ever jump attempt. The overload is just so tremendous to me. I think it's still lack of strength, it seems that I prefer to let the shock go in the connective tissues of the legs instead of using my muscles to prevent the collapse.
So I guess the stronger you are, the more "available" stiffer shoes would be. But even so, I'm against shoes that don't let the natural movement of the foot occur - the roll from heel to toe with a "bent" foot (toes up).
