@highjumper205 i remember talking on the phone with you when i was in high school. Isn't Derrick Thomas your brother. And coach sparks coached me as well in high school. I'm @ Bama now, trying to walk on. Need to be beasting @ 7 feet by the end of the summer. Think you can help me out? My mechanics have gotten a lil screwy due to lack of coaching
did u get this jumping ability naturally or did u work at it? i know some ppl say its natural, but they played basketball or did track their whole life, so thats not really natural?
what other exercises do u do for ur explosiveness?
@DjGoGo09 i've always been able to run and jump since i was little. my dad has 100's of videos of me and my brothers playing basketball and football...there is one tape i try to find when i go home of me in the 6th grade jumping over this kids head for a layup...lol...i got mad because they kept calling charging fouls on me so i just jumped over his head...lol...my dad dropped the camera, and at that age i didnt do any type of workouts..i didnt start with weights until really in college..
@highjumper205 but its a mix of both...my jumping has increased more also since i started track and i learned plyometrics and started using weights...over the years i have learned over maybe 150 jumping drills..so yea some people are born with more ability but everyone does some kind of workouts...my cousin doola is the highest jumping dude ive ever seen on the planet and he was about 6'2, but all he did was walk around the town to get everywhere and he could jump out of the gym....
Appreciate that BRO....My last meet was in Guadalupe like 2 weeks ago and i only jumped 7'0...I'm having some issues with my ankle that im trying to get cleared up by the USA Championships.....
well i hope it heals up soon! by the way, are you more of a natural two footed jumper? your one footed jump is sick and it seems more powerful than other high jumpers who are just mainly really really springy.
Nah i'm naturally a two foot jumper....the reason why my hj technique has been so bad....i just started doing those single leg hurdle hops like last year.....About all hj dont really have SPRING, but good speed AT TAKEOFF) and good form over the bar....Learning that now...
minorou park right!!!!!!!!????

Hey, what is ur vertical leap?

How much do you weigh right now and what height? I guess your low weight really helps with your elasticity (more tendon work, less muscle work).
Have you ever done donkey ankle bounces? I think you'd get crazy high at those.
