Hi I'm Swish. Some of you may know me from TVS. I don't post alot so maybe not though. I've been lurking here for a while.Finally decided to make an account. Anyway I'm no expert on training but can maybe offer some help and I am hoping to learn from you guys to help train myself and others.
^^^Exactly. Toes behind a line, jump, measure from the farthest-back heel. If you lose balance and fall on your ass, measure from your ass
And it is fun, unless you do it on concrete. Then, as adarq says, it hurts like a bitch. I'd recommend a track or gym floor (that kind of bouncy black stuff they put down in weight rooms).
Yup... for my RL plant I kind of try to make it look good... I'm getting up fine though, about 75 cm I think. But there's a big difference in between a small ball and a "big" ball in terms of technique (expected, but nonetheless annoying).
My one-leg jump hasn't increased in the last two years or so though... despite the gains in strength. I think one way into that is cutting the bodyfat a bit...
I like his attitude
that's how i go out and like to play...F all coaches who try to act serious all the damn time, i like to play around but have super concentration and what not at the moment i am doing work haha
any1 with me?
it's 90%mental and 10% physical, seriously
ok i know from experience that my high school coaches are idiots
I had 2, one quit after freshman year
we never get a chance to lift, when we do we go and they tell us to squat on our toes, which is very very bad
they made us do box jumps for 20 reps x3 sets, which was endurance and we are the sprinting team
never once did we have recovery days, we went hard all the time even before a meet
we ran alot of distance running for being a short distance squad, alot of times coach was lazy and made us do 30+min jogs, which i have to say are just a recipe for disaster as it really got everyone with shin splints
we never practiced with blockes enough
we are a 4a school and we compete against the biggest schools in indiana, and most the guys ended up leaving half way through, or got hurt....so I ended up running against 2 of the fastest kids in the state and got schooled
they both did many things wrong, don't say HS coaches know what they are doing because I had 2 and they suck and were very well respected among coaches....there may be a few who know what they are doing but that's another story i amd talking average
This is hard!
I tried it yesterday, i never cheat so this is legit
my back foot hit 9ft @ my best attempt and that may not be legit, I probably hit 8ft..so 8-9Ft which is pretty sad
It was really hard, i had no form for it
anyone else try this out?
Damn, btw my knees hurt..
???
what u mean? explain? !!!
Both of them were feeling achy in a way at the top of knee; knee to quad insertion. Since it only hurt there, I was pretty sure it wasn't anything serious like jumpers knee. I just Iced it, woke up and they felt fine. I'm thinking it was because all the tension/soft tissue damage in the quad from the lower body session friday..
A few vids from yesterday, notice the differences in the gather with the mini ball and the size 5 ball:

I havent given up btw, Im still on him about finding it and going nuts on the internet looking lol. I feel like a dumbass for telling him it was retarded now since he listened and basically lost interest in it. I never thought anything would come of it and I was pretty sure I knew everything back then.
haha at least I wasnt the only one looking for that damn vid I was talking about.
ah.... right u are.
my left leg comes off the block first.
[/quotes]
nice, stick with that!QuoteDLRVJ: RL now (if it means right foot hits first, left then hits ground, gathering into 2 feet tgt, and jumpoff)
SLRVJ: jumps off left leg
ya, tvs/adarq have come up with easy acronyms for jumping:
RL-DLRVJ = right left plant, double leg jump, right leg hits ground first, then left, then jump
LR-DLRVJ = left right plant ...
L-SLRVJ = left leg single leg vert
R-SLRVJ = right ..
SVJ = standing vert
but ya i find it odd you plant RL on DLRVJ and jump off left for SLRVJ lol... ;d
peace
damn...
i was doing DJs the other day, and the thought came to me. i think i jump mostly off RL now (meaning right foot hits first, left then hits ground, gathering into 2 feet tgt, and jumpoff). gotta make a mental note to see how i jump haha!
meaning i should stick out my right foot first, drop off, and jump?
haha, damn, i was doing it left foot first. not sure why, just came naturally, maybe cos of the past SLRVJ influence.
btw, does it matter which foot i stick out first on the DJs?
