Hello,

I wrote a new article: http://evolutionaryathletics.com/blogs/raptor/2010/08/26/training-for-a-strength-running-jump-vs-training-for-a-reactive-running-jump/

The thing I love the most about these coaches is that they confirm a lot (A LOT) of my theories that I conceived just by observation and sometimes using myself as the guinea pig. So it's great to hear great coaches confirming what you were suspecting, especially when you get into arguments with retarded coaches that just follow books without thinking about what actually happens in a movement etc.

So it's very rewarding for me

It's just human nature without the hypocrisy right there in the video...

I think the major difference between me and her is the fact that I don't pull my shoulders back (and the whole back, back) so to speak. So therefore hip extension doesn't occur. I need to focus on letting myself on my back a little more in the pull I GUESS.

Thanks and yeah, the depth broad jumps looked very long actually, I need to measure them the next time. I also was hip hyperextending very well on them which is rare for me (also did hip flexor static stretch before them).

Power cleans need more work on exactly that hip extension part. I probably need to lean more backwards when I do them or something.

As for the bounds... yeah I've always done them very fast because that's the way "I feel like making them". I mean, for maximum efficiency (where "efficiency" is a hard to quantify word) I feel like I need to do them fast. But maybe I should slow down and put more power, both vertically and horizontally, into them.

Yes but he looks so much manly and "healthy" now!

Don't fight the power! Embrace it.
