yea man, seems like it, not sure why, maybe one side is stronger than the other

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: vertical jump bible 2.0 vid
« on: September 18, 2012, 12:54:14 am »Interesting video. Confusing a bit to me, because my recent PRs are broad jump (10'3''), SVJ (37.0), RVJ (37.5), and my consecutive double leg jumps are beyond my single broad jumps. So, according to this video I am good a the tests for hip-dominance, quad-dominance and ankle-dominance, but I perform really poorly (RVJ) in the test which combines all three!
How well does that mat replicate vertec results? Seems like calibration would be a difficult task for those who jump really high. The difference between a 48'' inch jump and a 42'' inch jump is very very little time in the air because the athlete has to take off and land at a pretty high velocities in both cases, I wonder if that tool is really designed to have the sensitivity or if it is even possible (ie a slight knee bend or change to flight time resulting from touching a surface may throw it off for high-verticals).
yea like raptor said, maybe you just don't practice rvj often and your form isn't good? never seen you jump so hard to give definites. what do you mean your consecutive double leg jumps are beyond your single broad jumps?
the mat is pretty accurate actually, you can cheat it by picking up your knees and landing in like a full squat, but it's harder than it looks. you would have to consciously be trying to do it in order to cheat.

let me know what you thought of the jumps lance/adarq
maybe you guys have a good explanation for what happened on those depth jumps, getting progressively lower on them and then higher

yea, been working with him for awhile now.
yea my run up still needs a lot of work. My standing and 2-3 step is fine, but can't do a full run up. I'm planning on really hammering the technique and practice when i get my standing to a 40 , bcs once i get there i think if i can perfect my run up i can get a 48 running which would allow me to hit my head on the rim. Along with that, I have some patellar tendinits right now so can't even really do plyos.Don't think my penultimate is really small but def. could be bigger, a big part of it comes from just not being able to get lots of speed going into the final plant, once i improve that i think the last step will increase in length.
Why were you confused about my depth? Depth is going to vary depending on the athlete, i don't think its necessary to dip very low. I find that when i jump quicker and not going as deep i get higher. Maybe as i get stronger i'll dip down a little lower on my plant into the jump.
I don't know about fast twitch fibers, i just think the depth i use allows me to get the greatest power output, if i dipped lower i might get more force but it would be a lot slower overall leading to less power overall and a lower jump. I'd have to double check but i don't think the best leapers dip that low

Wow you were in Kelly Baggett's latest article! http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/HowMuchCanVertBeImproved.html
Didn't know you were working with him.
Anyway after reading that, I was thinking that you (Ori) still haven't had all the improvement possible on movement efficiency. Your run up looks different than what most high leapers do. ANd your penultimate looks really small. I don't know if the large penultimate is the way for everyone, but certainly yours is smaller than I'd expect for a 40+ jumper and furthermore, your depth is pretty high during your RVJ in your dunk vid. Baggett didn't mention that though so I was a bit confused I guess. And I'm sure you've already thought about this.
What do you think?
edit: not all great leapers have a deep depth during their RVJ, but most do. Maybe you have more FT fibers so you take a shorter stepped more reactive run up

interesting stuff lance
what do you think the importance of the strong psoas/lower abdominals is?
is this the l-sit video you were referring to? I couldn't find any single legged

looking forward to hearing your version for 2 legged jumpers

how can we tell from your vid, kingfish??
also, a previous thread on this fourm regarding the jump mat and vertec for vert testing
http://www.adarq.org/forum/strength-power-reactivity-speed-discussion/jump-mats/?action=printpage
as far as the mechanics of the jump go. if you watch in slow mo i do land actually pretty straight legged, the only thing i see is that my left foot kind of hitches a little which could possibly start the timer early. I don't think it would since the majority of my bodyweight is still on the mat, i'll play around with it next time though and see if it starts early if i do that

^ heres a 34" vid i took before. compare and see if he is any higher. my measured SVJs are very accurate to the inch<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VWj-FXmox8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VWj-FXmox8</a>

i measured the ceiling a couple weeks ago at 10 ft 8.
need to re measure my reach since haven't in a couple years last time it was about 7 ft 10-11
on the jump i touched the ceiling with a couple fingers, which means i got a little higher than 10 ft 8

what's up guys
got a PR standing vert of 1.5 inches , which is enormous for me
my concern isn't so much over the accuracy of the mat, but rather the way i jumped. Previously when i tested my vert on the mat i would jump and just swing up both arms. This time what i did was try to touch an object with 1 arm, while keeping the other relaxed. I'm unsure if part of the PR height was because i jumped and only reached up with one arm which made me land slightly leg bent, or if the jump was really legit and jumping while trying to touch an object really did help me jump significantly higher
