- triple broad jump
- DL bound x 3,3
not as far as triple broad jump, although i'm sure that's because i'm pretty good at pulling my feet forward and stabilizing if i don't have to rebound.
Do you know the measurements and differences between the two?
Your RDLVJ is much greater than your standing right?
not exactly. it was the first time i'd tried it and kind of a whim. the difference between the first set of bounds and the second was pretty dramatic, too, for what that's worth. if i had to guess, i'd say the 3 x broad jump was about 26.5 feet, and the second set of bounds was about 24.5 feet. will actually measure next time. also, my single broad jump PR is something like 9'2.
DLRVJ is 5-8 inches higher than SVJ. DLRVJ is more variable. i think SVJ is about 25 unless i'm extremely amped or extremely tired, but recent DLRVJ varies from 30-33 workout to workout. when i'm in a better groove with it, as i was in may, it's more like 32-35. all-time PR is about 35.
Yeah I thought I remember you gaining huge out of an approach. 8 inches in amazing.
Since it's the first time trying bounding... you might improve a lot with practice then and you will soon bound farther than muli broad jump. Last time I tested on the vertec I was stuck at 35 SVJ, 36 RVJ, still really frustrating. I do 4xbroad jump and go just over 40 feet, but when I bound I always get 2 feet farther, or 3 feet farther if I depth drop into the first bound. For some reason I seem to score reactive on multiple jumping tests but can't seem to get what you can out of a running vertical jump... Maybe I just hate the carpet where the vertect is and the results would be different if I could test on grass or track!
bizarre. for the record, the broad jumps and bounding were performed on a hardwood basketball court. all the jumps i do are, except when i do tuck jumps or pogos; those are on the rubber matting in the weight room. it's odd to me that i get so much out of the DLRVJ -- 5 inches at a minimum, on a terrible day -- but otherwise would consider myself relatively slow, un-powerful, and un-reactive.
so your single broad jump is well over 10 feet? strange to me that your DLRVJ would be so close to mine, given how much more powerful and springy you are.
