Guess i should have worded it better, i meant don't bother developing calves from a vanity standpoint... Though anyone know any solid peer reviewed studies on calf contributions to VJ Single & Double / effects of calf training protocols??

Never tried negatives for calves, if you were looking to put on size, i'm guessing they would be of benefit. If you were going to do them make sure you have something to stop your heel so you feet dong go past 90-100 degree dorsiflexion... Once your shin angle is < 90 that's where I could see injury occurring.. unless your a bodybuilder though, i wouldn't bother trying to develop the calves, just learn to live with what you got..

In my experience calf size seems largely due to genetics, it is one of the most areas to develop, precisely why it is not uncommon for bodybuilders to get calf implants. Just stick to pants, and no one will be the wiser..

Personally I find box jumps kind of impressive, it takes alot of balls to jump onto a ~60-65+ inch box fully knowing that there is high possibility of eating shit and hurting yourself.... The real skill in it is being able to get your knees past your face..

Hi Everyone,
Lurked on here for a while, decided to make an account on here, seems like a knowledgeable, enthusiastic forum.. Little about me, I come from a track and field background.. Still compete as a high jumper at the university level with a pb of 2.11m, at the moment I am doing my Bsc in Kinesiology. I have always been really interested in the Biomechanics, Physiology and Training Theory as it relates to jumping. Looking forward to some good discussion!
Some Stats
Static Vertical Jump: ~32 inches
Vertical Jump with CM off 18 inch box: ~35 inches
Running One Foot VJ: ~42 inches
SLJ: 3.35m
Standing Three Jump: 10.15m
Overhead BT (16lb): 14.95m
