John Norcott 10ft 4in standing broad jump. 8/12/08

[poolehart]

mine's 9 metres

I could break the long jump WR but can't be arsed to run

[JMoore4291]

i don't get why you have to start with your toes up to the line but then you measure the back of your foot, your losing the whole length of your foot, say some 90 year old did it and wore a size 12 shoe, if he jumped 6 inches forward and then measured he would be at a -6... he didn't jump backwards did he? or if he jumps a foot forwards he measures at 0... i dont get it

[xxxgodhundxxx]

@JMoore4291 if you want to jump a gab of 2 feet you can just stand in the gab with your whole foot, and jump to the other side, or stand on one side and barely hit with your toes on the other side. The distance measured is the distance you HAVEN'T TOUCHED but i do get your point.

[Manuelcr7]

Do you think there's a directly corelation between the standing vertical leap and the broad jump? Maybe in the broad jump the hip flexors are relevant too.

Because my standing vert is 30inch and my standing broad jump is 9ft 4i 1/2.

So if i get a 40inch vert my broad jump should increase to more than 12ft 5inch.

Maybe there's not a 100% corelation between :)

[BreatheCreativity]

Oh wait, I just tested myself again. PR 108 inch Broad Jump at 14 xD. Broad Jump 5'11 at age 10. w00t, so proud of myself lol. probably going to get some hater commenting on this like a month later, but meh this is youtube - the pisshole of retarded teens who listen to lil wayne.

[BreatheCreativity]

Hm... my best is 8ft on the rug, but apparently when I jump on a mat it becomes 9ft+

[Ninjaboy1898]

I'm 12 And recently I got 8' 2".

[grantflip]

lol whats with the chin up question, sick standing jump tho, i also only do wide grip chin ups i dont know if i get as high as 28,

[A550RGY]

Great job! What's the most amount of chinups you've done in a row? My guess is 15.

[Norcott33]

@A550RGY I dont do chinups. I do wide grip pull ups. My best was 28 in a row.

[jenn1ifer]

wack. i can do 11ft. measuring from the back of my heel where i land. 11ft is my best. but champ bailey the cb in football can do 11'6"-so i gave up

[RupertNorth]

my best is 9ft i can get more but cant stick on both feet one foots s in front of the other how can i get my landing better

[Norcott33]

Work on stability and balance drills. Maybe its your form when you jump. Use your arms, throw them out there as hard and fast as possible. That will carry you. Try jumping at more of a 45 degree angle instead of straight out. It will give you a better landing.

[RupertNorth]

thanks bro

[connorlav]

thats v.good! im 13 and board jumping 9"4' my aim is to jump the same as you by next year ;)

[Rushtown]

Why did he say "Broad" jump instead of "Long Jump"? I know why---he's really some 50 year old guy trying to look 20---but you gave yourself away. Anyway, great jump.

[bRiC3XD]

[Br1cEaTr1cE]

[seahyimin]

[Steelthor]

[abcasd1]

my best friend can do way over the jump mat, which is alr 300cm, and hes just 16yrs

[Norcott33]

No one cares. Bet he doesnt weigh 210lbs and play fullback like I did in this video. By the way, Im 220lbs now.

[JacktheDaniels]

relax, man.

he didn't say you sucked or anything, he just said his buddy could jump well, no biggie the way i see it.

nice jump by the way.

[CptBongue]

Second bioobird's request... you are a beast, bro!

[Mingchuan86]

other than box jump wat u do?i need to know cause i training for my fitness test and i only jump225cm..

[berwin1995]

pls tell me how u train! i wanna jump like u!

[Norcott33]

I just do regular box jumps and other plyo exercises. what you might want to start, if you already dont it doing a lot of squats. I never jumped or did any jumps till my senior year in HS. I was always a heavy squatter though and when i was a senior I jumped 40" at a UMass football camp. that was my first jump test.

[bioobird]

this is very very good! can i ask his usual work out routine? im a free runner, and the broad jump is the basis of almost....well pretty much everything.
