Eye of the tiger = WIN. I will try but I'm not sure how it goes.

« on: July 29, 2011, 06:19:57 pm »No ^^ not blatantly, but a weak posterior chain will still negatively affect short sprints just like will a jump.
Whats happening with the 40yd dash times is guys are getting coached to run the race. The start itself can make the difference in tenths of a second, add in learning to use the valsalva maneuver and correct early acceleration mechanics and you can have a less gifted athlete smoke a more highly gifted one in that event. The vertical jump is not coached as in depth by MOST coaches, and even then, improvements arent going to be as drastic as they will with the 40.
Anyone interested in a better 40yd dash time should read Joe Defrancos book "The 40YD Dash" , its one of the best resources you will ever find for this event.
Yeah but still,

The top verters are nowhere in the 40 & vice-versa. Not one top 15 verter makes the top 15 of the 40, not one top 15 40dash makes the top 15 of the vert.
It doesn't make any sense for this to happen.

You think that 40 yards are enough for that difference to become obvious?

In the SVJ, try to extend a lot on spot (you actually BEND and then bend some more to jump) - so try to extend on your toes, then quickly bend quite a bit and jump. You will jump higher.
In your running VJ you should use your arms WAY better, I mean, you can do that right now but you need to emphasize the arm swing quite a bit at this point in time.
Also, choose some lighter shoes if possible, these look huge/unresponsive.

I think it looks a bit better but you still don't compress well and keep a pretty high center of gravity. But then again, at your strength levels...

Well no, they wouldn't, because it takes skill to be Kobe. It depends on what you're talking about: athleticism or basketball skill. Different things, although related.
Also, regardless of how strong you make a guy, he's still going to have the same structure, limb lenghts, tendons, so on and so forth, but strength is an alterable quality and helps with athleticism.
So you have to bear that in mind.

Introduce Yourself / Re: I'm Back...

Well I had 4 frames of GCT at 25 fps so 4x0.04 = 0.16s, but it's not like I used a super slow-mo to determine my exact GCT.

If you're fond on olympic lifts you're probably good suited to use these as potentiation stuff in low volumes. Also, for me personally, deadlifting in very low volumes/heavy weights has had a delayed potentiation effect (usually 2 days after the deadlift day I jumped very high).

I'd go with very low volumes at high intensity every day. But it would probably burn you if you're not used to it. Whatever you do, don't jump too far away from what you'd normally do if you weren't peaking.

Now you need to keep on improving strength, since you seem to have improved on your movement efficiency in jumping.
