Knee Jump Progressions

[lili90371]

I am very fond of this action,so I can learn a lot.

as a beginner stunt.

[eatbeef49]

question: why stomp the feet? that's some really crazy stuff you're doing there, haha.

[evobe]

daaaaaaammmmnnn, nice ender

[n0rv33zy]

will this help increase vertical???

[stiddlyrehman]

Mate I gota give it to you... I'm recovering from a meniscal injury playing football & was checking out some knee strengthening stuff but you're somethin else! Especially the last one!!

Well done... Brilliant upload!

@stiddlyrehman

Thanks man, I appreciate your comments. Good luck with the recovery!

Great vid! You've been blogged!

Can this exercise build size?

[comicbookhero1]

That jump at the end is insane man, really impressive. Good demonstration too, is there any particular leg muscle the knee jump works? I read it was hamstring mostly but it looks like the quads are involved more.

[nickseavers]

Think about it...hip extension is a huge part of athletism in general. Glad you're enjoying these. And by the way, I am 40 this year too ;)

I'm learning how to perform these knee jump progressions. It's been barely a month since I reached the point that I could do the exercise properly. I can do a knee jump to a 3 foot platform. I'm 40 years old, so I'm convinced that Nick has illustrated an exercise that yields actual results.

[CoreySpringer]

holy shit the thing at the end awesome bad ass man that is hardcore

[strongsick280]

this is bad ass training its diffrent from what i do but i love to see stuff like this that i never have done kind of want to try with my other training i may may not how knows when i get bored i may try

[BRETZERR]

Great vid bro...very explosive jumps. I like the last one (and the knee jumps on the block), I am going to have to try those out!

Thanks for the ideas and commenting on my vid's...

[sidhyarth]

awsm love it man...

[kettlebellconvert]

holy shit... thats quite the jump at the end there

[Lahed92801]

for starting out, how many sets and reps would you recommend?

[nickseavers]

Try 5 sets of 2 reps. This is a speed based exercises so no need for high reps. Do them after your squats or deadlifts. Thanks!

[djoe77]

You're a beast. What's your max at the knee jumps(with barbell)?

[nickseavers]

No max...I guess if I trained it I could do 100kg. Thanks for looking!

What is the benifit of this training. Last part where you rebound is very impressive.

thanks for sharing

[nickseavers]

They develop speed through hip extension which is vital for jumping. They are also a nice addition to any routine as they can be done just about anywhere.

Thanks!

[ChknAdobo]

are those adidas megabounces your using?? If so, any good?

[deathofdozen]

This looks like a good way to train hip flexor / abdominal coordination.  Very impressive!

[adarqui]

sick "gym".. interesting vid, i really dont like knee jumps at all, what kind of gains have you or others seen from doing them?

peace

[nvcn86]

nice vertical!

[zabinjay]

Great work!

I'm thinking about adding that to my routine for next month. Always good to find new things I would have never thought about. =]
