Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: A Journey to Running Fast and Jumping High

If you don't mind me asking, what are your current SVJ/RVJ numbers btw? I see you've been training for a very long time and seem very dedicated.

Hey Andrew! I used to follow you back in the day (vertical summit days) and noticed that you shifted away from vertical jump training some time ago. I guess I could pore over your whole log to get an answer, but it would be quicker if I just asked you lol. So what happened to the jumping Andrew Darqui that made him become an endurance guy?

P.S. What do you think your current SVJ/RVJ numbers are? LOL

Is it Android compatible?
I don't use the app, so I'm not sure. It displays your vertical jump in real time. Right when you land you'll see the number.

current SVJ/RVJ PRs are ~31/36.5.

what is this magical device?

Lol. It's called "vert" by mayfonk. This: http://myvert.myshopify.com/products/vert-wearable-jump-monitor

It is VERY accurate and I've had it for over 2 years (got it from kickstarter before it was officially released). It is as accurate as the Nike+ shoes, which I also have.

What were your starting SVJ/RVJ numbers btw?

Thanks, I appreciate it. What is your current SVJ/RVJ btw? Also, I use this device that clips on to my waist to measure my vertical--it's really cool and I would highly recommend it for any vertical jump enthusiast due to its accuracy.

I've always read about rythmic jump squats (from the Defranco days) and I've always wondered why a high rep routine like that would be beneficial to jumpers like ourselves. Any ideas LBBS?

I will record another video tomorrow with a broader angle. I think the reason I'm at 33" right now, even with a bum ankle, is because I'm much skinnier than I normally am. My 36-37" PRs were when I was 165 lbs at 5'6. I am now 140.

Also, right now my single leg standing vert with my right leg has improved to 13.5", while my left leg still has a 21.5" SVJ. If I make them both the same, I wonder how high I'll be flying :D .

A) Very hard to tell much from that video.

B) Make a journal already! No one would really look here for training updates or questions.

I'm actually still in PT and I have not been cleared for jumping yet lol. I'll start a log once I can actually start training again. That jump was 27.5" btw. Thanks!

Hey guys! I just jumped right now and could use some advice. How is my form/penultimate step and does my right leg cave in too much(that's the bad ankle)? Also, how high of a jump does this look like? I'm a long ways from my normal numbers. Thanks!

Has anyone else tested their SL standing vert here?

How do you do a single leg STANDING vertical jump? Stay on one leg, swing the non-jumping leg and jump?

also alestor i don't know how high mine are. not very.

Looks around 18" if I had to guess. But, I could be wrong. Only proper way to tell is to have an overhead target that is reachable and tell from there.

@Adarq

I tested a few of my friends' SL VJs and all of them were within an inch in terms of asymmetry. Prior to my ankle injury, I was at 16" with both limbs. But, in the 6 months that I stalled prior to my surgery, I just kept doing SL VJs and improved by 5.5" in my good leg.

Balance on one leg, whilst knowing your reach, jump and then touch an overhead target (in my case I have an 8'6 ceiling in my room).
