I just love the numbers on the long jumps (horizontal jumps). I think it's such an underrated way to train for your jumping height.

But because of the angle, the quads need much more force to amortizate properly and prevent knee collapse.
AC is using this technique in a few dunks, if we're talking about the same plant. It's also being seen in technically defficient/physicaly strong people.

I don't get why a "squat plant" (both feet at the same time) has more posterior chain amortization ???
I thought the quads take a lot more beating trying to decelerate and prevent the knees from collapsing than when planting sideways, since planting sideways brings a bit of a twist and the plant occurs at a different angle than a direct overload of the quads that happens in a straight-forward plant.
I don't get it.

So what should the approach be training-wise in order to tap into those reserves?

I thought I should drop in an introductory thread to announce my supreme being's presence here. You have all been blessed.

Well it's a "way" to "isolate" the hip extension and perform it "powerfully". Since when have we started isolating stuff for athletics?
Anyway, I think they'd be better of with hip thrusts.

Kneeling power clean is ever sillier. Almost all upperbody and great injury possibility (in the last movie).

Yeah good stuff.
I'm closing in on my plyo training so I definitely need this.
