Yeah it's extremely slow. As I was loading this post up I was thinking "I bet it's about how slow the forum performs lately".

No. I just intentionally said "what in the actual fuck" to boost up the video a bit for the people who "will" not see that.

I mean if you watch it you can see a ton of "he got pushed up" comments everywhere... it's crazy to think I'm that unaware of stuff. You don't even need to see those comments, you can see that for yourself as you watch the video. Whatever.

Good stuff... by the way, do you always stay a bit unlocked at the knee at the top position?

Wait... so you genuinely think I was genuinely not aware he was pushed up a bit? Um...

In order to deal with jet lag you must manipulate light intake. If you adjust that by 2 hours per day to accomodate the difference then you're going to be good.

You must pretend you're still in the city you left off from by taking advantage of the sunlight/getting the blankets on the windows on etc, depeding on the case.

I also read on a sprinting site that training (sprinting) on a stiff surface tends to make the tendons compliant, whereas training on a compliant surface tends to stiffen up the tendons... who knows if this is true.

You should film some depth drops from the same box height as in the video, focusing on not collapsing at all at the knee. Basically landing in a foot dorsiflexed position (weight over the whole foot) and not allowing collapse.

I know a lot of people recommend landing on the toes on the depth drops but I don't agree at all with that. That promotes the very problem you and I have right now. It's MUCH better to land on the whole foot while having them dorsiflexed and not allowing knee collapse/having the arms as if you're preparing to jump up immediately.

So try that - film some depth drops from the same height focusing on these things. If you're able to do them right then you can focus next on actually taking off from that position.
