I have personally found out that how much the arms are straight (or the elbow bent) matters quite a bit in jumps, of any kind. I usually like to arm swing with arms almost straight, off two legs, and that overwhelms my plant and I can't recover from that. The momentum of the arms being kept straight puts so much force into my legs that they collapse.

If I keep my elbows bent, or twist my arms to the side (like simulating an airplane) with arms straight, it's easier to recover and jump, as I plant. But I guess that's just because I'm too weak to deal with the added power straight arm swings put into my legs.

Also, a jump with the arms a little bent is quicker - to pendulate the arms around your body as they are straight takes quite some time and increases the ground contact time, from what I have personally seen in me and other people I trained with.

No, but it's an old thread and I wondered if anybody changed opinions since then or has anything to add/retract.

Looks to me like they promote heel strike on their runs.

Chile? Chile women = the shit.

But what is your job? Unless is secret or something.

those are really good RVJ numbers (discounting RL, obviously). how are you measuring, again?

I'm jumping at my school's gym. Rim is 10 feet for sure.

Also, my friend has been following my routine (working out with me) and has only gained an inch on his RVJ in 3 months. Seems odd that we are doing exactly the same thing, but he's not improving much.

Because you're recovering from surgery and getting back to your natural level. I don't think you're necessarily "gaining" per se, just recovering and improving as you go. That's why.

not a vid but not worth a new thread..

You should try to get Dupuy's 59.
