welcome to the forum! great videos, great training, been following your training on youtube for a while now, impressive.

where do you get your guidance on training? was it coaching growing up, school track & field coaching, or just being self taught (researching holm/others training methods)? I get a "self taught" vibe, which is impressive if that is the case.

what's your single leg running vert at right now?

anyway keep it up,

peace

Thanks

I have a coach who helps me with the trainingprogramme. But it's more like something we're doing together. (He's not a dictator)
It's a combination of his knowledge and mine. So some of it is self taught, and a some come from him

I don't know what my running single leg vert is at the moment, I've never tested it. But I'll try to convince my school to buy a vertec/vert mat

That's great, the best thing you can have is to have a coach who's a good pedagog (understands human behavior and is a friend, not just a coach). To the people I know at the track, those with the best results are having this combination going on. Oh, and the people who get the best results are usually not morons. Only genetically gifted morons can survive... but they still end up doing something stupid so...

Have you tried touching a basketball rim or net? That would give your vert a aproximate number but close nonetheless.

level-7 is so real.. i don't think i've ever run so fast in my life.

check speed tomorrow...see if that shit worked.

don't know if it has a delayed stim, doubt it, but we'll see.. the only good thing is that i was playing a song while it happened, so hopefully it built a bridge between that song and level-7.

Try it a few times more if it didn't work this time. Just make sure they use fake bullets and you don't know it.

Yes but a brick is governed by the laws of chemistry, the chemistry is governed by the laws of physics and the physics are governed by the laws of maths. So basically, I'm governed by the laws of maths which makes me unfailable. QED.

that just looks really fucking stupid to me

I think they CAN be beneficial if you do them right, but there are alternatives (like hip thrusts).

Don't worry,  does't mean pathologic research. That's reserved only for me.

No it's not. You idolize a beast so that's cool.

Well I have that sitting height to standing height ratio of under 50, 49.7 (long legs), and I gain what, 2 inches off a run? Sure, I'm not jump efficient off two feet but still, you'd expect better. I also find it much easier to jump off a standing vert or off one step than the "average" basketball player at my height.

That's probably because the average basketball player your height doesn't even eat properly nervmind done any kind of lower body strength work. Most pro basketball players can't jump for shit standing, nevermind recreational and amateur.

Yeah it could be. So then any "natural" jumpers will jump a lot more off the run anyway than standing. If not, they will be bad jumpers regardless of the technique.
