Juggernaut Training Systems-Dwain Chambers 62 inch Box Jump!!

[testtitan]

holy crap, huge jump.

[destine4hope]

Doesn't look real. It's unnatural because a normal person's eyes aren't used to seeing someone jump that high.

Impressive!

[MrSteppenwolfie]

EASY

[barneyrhodes]

he is a BEAST!! might not be the fastest but deffo my fav sprinter

[superdave31]

can i ask - when people sprint are they 'springing' off the floor or do the just push off the floor? (like is that why people like dwain practice jumps so their 'spring' is good?) thanks

[kingis21]

The strength you have pushing off the floor in a jump can be transferred into the push you have when sprinting. It comes from the same muscles. So if you can jump out the roof its likely you are pretty fast, depending on build and structure. This part is mainly important in the blocks going into transition.

@superdave31 we don't know if he uses it in his practices, he might have done it just for fun

[LimpLoser]

fucking hell

[everynamewastakenomg]

wow

[bigceej69]

does he take off with 1 foot or 2

[CWSmith52]

2 Feet

[superdave31]

that probably shows why people like him are so fast for every step someone like me takes he is probably springing 50cm or so even fruther ahead just by normall

[jmclare1]

he could dunk all over people if he played basketball seriously

[yarub123]

i go to uni too im a freshman rite now, but i wish i was like these guys im in wrestling rite now, and i wish we were trained like this

[dls2779]

lets see if that could transfer onto the track

[CWSmith52]

Yeah that 6.42, world leading 60m time, might show a little bit of the transfer.

[dls2779]

I know that. I really want to see his 100m time. He was talking alot of trash about Usain bolt and how he has a surprise for him. I hope these work outs would shave off some time off his 100m time.

[CWSmith52]

I sure hope so too. Dwain is a genuinely great guy and doesn't deserve the poor treatment he receives from meet directors.

[xJosebx]

hey chad.

why does joe defranco have his athletes box jump without stepping?

and why do you allow your athletes to take steps before their jump?

what is the science behind these variations?

[CWSmith52]

I can't speak to why Joe has his athletes do things certain ways, you would have to ask him.

Dwain is not one of my athletes, he is a world class sprinter (6th place at World's in the 100m), who is based out of England. I was fortunate enough to have him train at my school for several weeks during the spring.

As for the science, jumping from a static start will build explosive strength and starting strength. While jumping with an approach will build more reactive strength.

[jewlzorjay]

This is plyometrics right? i'm doing a dissertation on this stuff now looking at inoperating it into a warm-up.

[littlejimmy12]

plyometrics/power all the same thing, buidling in plyo's into a warm up is gr8 but done right. My atheletes are very primed before we get into any power based warm up. The benefits are to wind up the neural drive so when we ge to a big lift like a powerclean the bodies nervous system is all ready to fire, this is why I pull my hair out when i see trainers warming up clients on the treadmill for a squat which may be say 75% 1RM !!!

[webbyman]

@littlejimmy12 technically Power and plyo are different in that

plyo is just speed where as power is concerned with your strength and ability to move quickly

[jmclare1]

he should play basketball hed dunk better than vince!

[Illumaster]

Woiii Check tha lol

[smithdanny321]

that is mad i do that when i train and i can only do like less than half dat

[soyfur360]

thats crazy!!!
