Iso extension stim before squatting might help the glutes come alive I guess...

I think lower gravity centers occur in posterior chain dominant jumpers, because that elongates the last step plant (feet thrown forward a lot).

I'm a slight anterior tilt, but if I flex glutes+abs, I get neutral
WTF?

Yeah I know, increased awareness and control.
It also depends on muscle size. If you don't have it, there's nothing to control in the first place.

Do you think hip thrusts can possibly have a good effect into making you more aware (or aware again) of the glutes?

Yeah that's exactly right. I mean, I felt like toasted after 50 minutes of warming up, but even so, I was jumping extremely high. I felt like I won't jump 12 inches and was in fact getting up very high.
Maybe with better conditioning I would've jumped even higher since I wouldn't have been so tired.

What exactly did you do? And how did you discovered that you have ankle/feet issues?

That makes me remember something:
When I was jumping very high with very little strength, that always occured after a GREAT warmup and never without a warmup. My vert was so low with warming up (lower than now). But the thing was - I was also doing STATIC stretching before my jumps. You know, just because our sports teacher forced us to...
But what if that's actually beneficial? I mean, I know it's going to temporarily make you weaker, but I was jumping great like 20 minutes after that occured (and also being warmed up greatly).

I seriously think Dizal Wizal is a hero... I mean, even with horrid ahem... I mean perfect form, he didn't yet get injured to my knowledge at least. That's beast (no sarcasm).

Well good luck, but for a 45+ you'll need to train 5 years or more I suppose without having major injury difficulties, with great nutrition and great training...

Actually, I just found this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LhJL5bUOrY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LhJL5bUOrY</a>
It does seem pretty high, don't know how much but decent.
This one as well...

If you could come at my speed (that's slow already) I think you'd go much higher. And I'm not even an efficient jumper.

So what... you keep a big knife on your property so that someone doesn't jump the fence to steal the camera or what?

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Depth jump "introspection"
« on: December 24, 2010, 05:11:35 am »
I've talked about this theory of mine some time ago on TVS, but here it is again:
Box height / VJ (cm):
30 / 60
40 / 70
50 / 75
60 / 72
If we're to listen to the "general consensus", the optimal box height for this athlete is 50 cm, since off that box he gets the highest subsequent VJ (75 cm). But in my opinion, maybe he should use the 60 cm box where the inhibition starts to take place, that being the 60 cm box since the subsequent VJ is 72 cm there (-3 cm).
That should teach this athlete that it's OK to load more eccentrically so adaptations occur.
What do you guys think?
PS. I think this could work but it might be even more injury prone than a regular depth jumps since probably the landing mechanics are compromised, and this kind of destroys my concept.
