But why would the knee bend more and slide forward? The quad is the muscle that will/should prevent that from happening. The hamstring can't do that, unless hamstring weakness overloads the quad that gives up.

For me it happened in the ham in the past - at the "knee end" of the ham, I could feel the weakness there. But it still doesn't make sense from the biomechanical standpoint unless that overload occurs (and when it happened I didn't feel the quad overload so, again, doesn't make sense). I mean, why would the knee go forward more?

Then I'll be disgusting for a guy named lamp and be happy with myself and my friends. Works to me.

In a theoretical world you would be right, but we live in a pragmatic, practical world. So... tough luck. I myself wrote a program for FREE and it still got "pirated" on the Internet in the way that they put it on several sites instead of letting it reside on mine's only.

Can I do anything about that? I think not. Whatever.

Ethics won't get you anywhere in life.

PS. There's still a difference between physical things that you can steal and intellectual things that you can steal. Should it be? I have no idea. But it is what it is.

PS2. I bet every piece of software/music/film in your computer is buyed and has a license.

PS3. Can you imagine how much I'd have to pay for all the porn I have? Gimme a break man!

Wait, you were able to squat after that volume of sprints, single leg bounds and double leg bounds?

Well I haven't have this occur too much lately in the one leg jump, but it does occur in the two footed version... the quad overload there is incredible (meaning - I just overload the quads and then everything stiffens up).

I remember Kelly telling me it's a hamstring thing as well years ago, but I don't really believe that. I'd go as far as to say that my hams are incredibly strong (I could and probably can do 8+ natural glute ham raises) so if anything, then maybe yeah, they don't "activate" or whatever properly when subjected to dynamic stuff. In fact, I can even remember occurences when I could feel the ham fail in a jump (it just feels like a huge weakness under the leg and you jump 8 inches once that happens).

I'm not sure what stiff single leg bounding is though. And prime times feel so easy, like I'm doing nothing.

I assume you refer to this:

But yeah, my question was initially about the two footed jump, but it hinted a bit towards the one-leg version as well.

Also, why not think about the one-leg jump as a spring ? I mean, I've jumped with both a lever and spring mindset and it was OK, I think the lever thing works well with more reactive and light people, while the spring works better with strength-oriented and heavier people. I get that once you try to use ONE LEG as a spring the overload on that leg becomes incredible so you need incredible strength to prevent that leg from collapsing though.

For example, in a normal single leg bound there's compression happening and muscular power being put in there. The knee and hip joints of that leg are bent and not straight, which makes the muscle of those joints to load up quite a bit. So...

Raptor,

off topic question:

are you naturally this stupid or did you have to work at it?

Well it does come naturally but I have to admit, I read a lot of your posts to get at this level.

1) You're starting to scare me;
2) Is that safe driving?

What if you use then burn the copy?

Well... I'll just drink protein powder after the workout... MAYBE in the morning but I wouldn't risk an upset stomach while going to work.
