  • Pretty good, I thought. You kept your speed through the bounds pretty well.

  • Javier Sotomayor could jump 5 steps standig jump over 19(!) meters!

  • MARIO

  • thats crazy how controlled he is and the form i never liked doin that myself it took alot of power if you do it right especially powering of your weak leg

  • bros got powa

  • damn good! Hard to teach!!! coachmo.com

  • you can tell the difference between a natural jumper and a non natural,,,hes not a natural jumper... his foot is active but its really slow if he was faster and had natural hops he probably could of done it in 4.....

  • I bet he's good at QWOP

  • this video is about 4 years old and the guy is probably even better now but yeah that dudes got some power in those legs

  • An erect torso with your head facing straight forward is key with arms back prepaired to propel the body back into the air. Check out Christian Olssen he uses the tech. that I prefer.The only problem I have with the video is his arm positions they should be as if he is attemping a jump or the drill is not easily incorporated into his technique. As far as all this talk about heavy lifting look at Johnathan Edwards I gaurantee he's not squating the world. But he poses that explosive power needed

  • @jamonet65 If you read Edward's autobiography, he actually lifts really heavy. I don't remember the squats, but he was cleaning close to 150 kg! That's insane for someone 140ish lbs. I agree with the arms though: double arm like Olsson is the technique I prefer to teach. Edwards did better the years that he was using it too it seems.

  • I agree that the guy in the video looks like he's a very good jumper. He has alot of spring in this drill. But remember it's just a drill he's working a specific portion of the jump.The triple jump is an event of technique, speed and controled power in that order. The idea is to maintain the speed attained at the board through out the jump. While many have good take offs or fist phases thier body position suffers in the second phase.

  • dam u r springy man, i have major shinsplints and that would fucking kill me haha

  • The first and 2 last steps are amazing! Really nice! :D

    What is your personal best inte triple jump and longjump?

  • That was sick. When bounding, is it ok for heel contact?

  • ah that looked nice but you fell backwards so obviously i think it could be better

  • @grandtheft480 Im not trying to argue but he didnt really fall backwards. He fell to the side. With long jumpers that is common in helping your body to not be forced backwards on the landing of a longer jump. as soon as he landed he fell to the side and rolled out so his body has no chance to fall backward thus whereever the jump is marked it will be from the same distance because his feet stuck the landing and his body fell beside the mark where his feet landed. Just trying to help you out.

  • @oFlashoPoetryo oooh good call. yah i def thought he fell backwards but i see he did in fact force himself sideways. good call good call.

  • I've trained more over 5 men who jump 17 meters and + So I think i know where im talking about. This is very nice. nice bounds nice reaction on the ground + nice Space & time as we call that. ( flying in the air, and staying calm). He would do good in tripple jump I think.

  • fuck this just impressed the shit out of me

  • he'd be a good triple jumper...

  • Wow he's good. In my opinion it's the hardest of all events in T&F

  • The first jump is huge!! good job, how long was this?

  • quite good old chap quite good

  • quite good bounding

  • What leg strength execises would improve a triple jumpers leg strength?

  • @connorlav leg strength = squat is king. if you dont deep squat your a pussy.

  • @joku73 k..lol

  • @joku73 not always true. In jumping, squats down to about 90% is usually sufficient. Think about a jump, you never go past 90% or really even close. But yes for over all leg strength parallel squats are best.

  • @03Ranger4x2 think about a jump....thats barely an eigth squat, good luck trying to develop strength by doing those. Training doesnt always have to mimic exact movements. I barely do jumps training, do loads of full squats and i can jump pretty far. Not parallel - ATG, ass to grass is best

  • @joku73 Just giving you some words of advice, lol. My coach high jumped 7 feet 4 inches in college. And I just won state triple jump, so I kind of know what I am talking about. I didn't say ATG's are bad, I mean heck they are good, but your are really going farther than you need to and destroying your knees.

  • @03Ranger4x2 OK Mr superstar state champ. About the destroying knees part, i guarantee you are going by word of mouth on this. No experience or research for ATG squats? Research suggests going half is worse for knees, especially as you can put so much more weight on the bar.

  • @joku73 tell me how that makes sense please. ATG = less strain on your knees? You hit the same angle as a 90 in a atg, so logically it is going to be at least as bad. An obviously more so. I can tell you are getting upset lol. People are always arguing about what is best in working out, and apparently we have a disagreement lol. So how about we just forget about it because you obviously wont change, and neither will I.

  • @03Ranger4x2 well, when i had a knee problem, to strengthen it i was told to do slow half squats with about 20kg, you can feel the knees under stress more when you hit the half way point. Alot of power athletes can half squat 2-300kg this is a huge load on the knees. also when i was injured, i could only do full without knee pain. Old wives tale - look at current research, not what i say.

  • i love the distance u get into the pit... and the bound form is very nice

  • my best for 10 speed bounds with 10 steps approach is 40,25m.

  • I wish people like you would explain when you say this shit. Most likely you don't have a clue though.

  • bad spelling

  • ZERO GRAVITY!! WALK

  • dont know y, i like it so much

  • wow that was beautiful ;)

  • are you on the heels of your feet at all or is it just the balls?

  • he's flat footed

  • @09MUHS No, that's how you land when performing plyometric exercises like that. You could only say he's flat footed if he slaps his feet when he runs, or walks.

  • nice jump.

  • check out my triple jump video so you can see how to use double arm form

  • I thought that was pretty good myself...apparently some of the Olympians below have a different opinion...

  • haha

  • well, it was ok, but you dont have to be an olympian to realise single arm isnt as efficient as double arm, and he wasnt very active

  • it depends. most pros use double arm. i prefer double arm. but a lot of women jumpers use single arm. there are an array of styles but the WR holder used double

  • is it better to do it in flats or spikes?

  • just make sure there is padding on the heel

  • ur right leg take off is so much more extensive and rangey than your left. bit of imbalance right there.

  • man you are very good at holding your knee, that's the one thing i really gotta work on for triple jump

  • Get your coach to fix those arms, they are everywhere. I used to have the same problem, it will improve your speed !

  • bueno saltos man=P

    yo salto triple

    happy face=)!!!

  • yeah those arms are whack

  • I did 5 bounds and a jump hence the longer distance.

  • I used to use this drill a lot back in the day. I used a 10 stride approach rather than 10m and used to get out to around 27m at my best. This is very good for practising your speed maintenance thru the phases. You should basically go as fast as you possibly can whilst still able to stay in control. Should be combined with slower bounding working for maximum height and extension. A good way to go is to do alternate repetitions.

  • Are you serious becuase if you divide 27 by 5 it = 5.4 so that mean for the first three strides you would of had an average of 16.2m so that is like triple jumping 16.2m off 10 strides with out a landing

    So i think if you could do that you would have been an easy 17+ triple jumper then.

    So then you should of probibly gone to the olympics

  • You should have read my two posts more closely. I did 5 bounds + a jump for 27m+. Didnt make the Olympics but I did compete at the Commonwealth Games :)

  • how did you do?

  • arms very very bad... legs are bad too... knee must more up.. and when step on the floor he must open knee... I mean this is bad...

  • This jump was about 21.50m.

    Not my best shape this day.

  • how much this is in meeters?

  • lol that looked cool

  • does this make you run faster?

  • yea.

  • THATS NASTY!

    we do stuff like that,

    but i dont look that good

  • Boing!

  • you remind me of a deer running :)

  • damn u got a lot of bounce in ur steps!

  • I love these videos, keep them coming. Your demonstrators are excellent in their techniques. I say this and I am a consistent 54+ft jumper.
