Depth Drops/Shock Jumps

[kange112233]

this looks like it would kill your joints, pretty heavy impact, isnt it?

[skirace009]

landing on ur toes? nice.

[Manuelcr7]

i don't think thats good. You're eleminating the plyometric effect. All the elastic energy will be change into heat.

Do normal depth jumps. It's one of the best exercise, but do low reps and long rest.

You can believe me.

[lordvoldemort578]

@ThEgSd131 What do depth drops do?

[harris1001]

i think it was too high.

[kb826062871]

why do you just land with your toe?

[CertifiedPG]

@kb826062871 you're suppose to land on the balls of your feet. i think he was

[03Ranger4x2]

you do need to land on the balls of your feet, but you are landing to far on them. You heels just need to be off the ground a cm or two, the way you are landing is very unstable, and putting too much force on the front of your foot. Its almost like you are landing on your toes instead of the ball of your foot.

knee bend is fine, its your landing that is not smooth and controlled, also i suggest putting padding on the floor

[thereemix]

lol dude its too high, youre not supposed to bend your knees

[20musicfreak20]

@thereemix yea u r

[junmae808]

it looked like he improved when that lady walked in haha. I was wondering how your supposed to land from doing them?

[bignik61]

man... you need to drop back to 18 inches and learn how to land "quietly". your landings are a mess. the point of shock jumps/depth drops is to absorb the force. not crash into the floor. heels shouldn't touch the ground.

[KeTexNBA]

will this improve vertical as much as a depth jump where you jump up again after landing?

[mannyfsu]

any improvement in vert?

at 00:19 i was thinking "Death Jumps"

[DCurtiS91]

rofl yeh, bad slipups eh? :D got it fixed in the second set, guess the main point was the box was 3 or 4 inches to high hehe

[lordvoldemort578]

@DCurtiS91 What do depth drops do for you?

[DarkDMD]

Hmmm, you could do with a bit more knee bend, how high is that?

[DCurtiS91]

Its somewhere between 42-44 inches, im dropping it back down to 37-38 inches.
