i need some tips to improve my triple jump. ive been jumping about 7 months now und at the beginning i improved very quickly. but now it seems that i stagnate. my pr is 12.6 (42 feet), but i only competed 3 times so far in the triple. in training i also jumped about 12.9 several times, and i can feel it in my legs that i´m capable of jumping 13m^^. i use the doublearmshift. i also do a lot of core training and my coaches say that my technique is also quite good. but how can i improve now?
@222rew thanks ;D Thing is my steps are SUPER flat and also i tend to get a Hell lota shin pain when i do this. Also im a high jumper so im wondering how i can increase my explosive power...
@streetsmartdude Try a more controlled hop phase,if you lose 30cm on the first phase but gain 30 on the second it means you are prodcing a more balanced jump and setting yourself up for a better final phase.
How does a short white guy jump further than anybody in history? Flawless technique, unprecedented ambidexterity from rugby training, and years and years of repetition.
He put all his faith in God then when he retired he lost it. Sports people of any religion should keep God out of the equation as it is clear God does not get involved in sports games any more than he gets involved in who the winner of X Factor is which are self serving for the performer and entertainment for the rest of us.
@crankdatbatman23 Just because this guy is white doesnt mean he is just a hardworker. this guy has the best genes and talent in the world ever at triple jump
@bubbleman123ify Yeahh I know, which is why I made the comment I made. He's just over 30 ft per part and the WR for long jump is like, 29' 4" or something like that
@TFBCountryBoy oh yeah i figured that lol im saying that hi normal long jump is a little over 24 ft he wasnt nearly a good long jumper as he was a triple jumper
Just so you know, he ran the 100 in 10.1, which is world class speed. I competed in triple as well and always looked up to Edwards. He never competed on Sundays due to his religious beliefs otherwise he would be more well known. Most international meets occur on Sundays.
@MaxAime from last i heard in this years europe youth championships, triple jump was destroyed by a russian, so triple jump isn't just for black people (sorry about the rasism)
@dacrazybreyergoose I'm Canadian, so i don't know how old you are if you're in year 8. But if you want to try comparing it to something, I'm 16 and I'm average / slightly above average with 11.62m.
he had an advantage, the altitude of the stadium was pretty high, so in theory the air particles woudls be less dense, resulting in less friction on the body and causing less resistance, therefore causeing him to fly farther. i know, im a nerd :3
i need help, my pr is 38'6 and my region meet is next thursday and i want to qualify for state qualifier. so i need to jump at least a 40 is there something i can do to increase my jump. espiacially my last phase.
@LilHoover7 I triple jump too and one thing I've been trying to work on for my last phase is opening up my body and tucking my legs. When you push off into your last phase, try to throw your entire torso up to the sky. The higher you go, the farther into the pit you'll go. And if you tuck your legs up to your chest, They'll go longer without hitting the sand, giving you more distance. That combined will get you at least another foot. And throw your arms into each phase. Your body will follow.
@LilHoover7 im okay my best is '42 "2 well i would say first off the quickest improvement comes from the second phase. the "step" most people rush this step nd this is where you can gain 2 more feet easy. take your tim on this step hold your knee up and ride that step phase. now on the jump keep your head and eyes UP. look at some trees or a fence far off. dont look down to the pit. also extend your legs out as far as you can. last dont be afraid to get dirty. well good luck let me kno how u do
I can't think of any jumping event and not have the video where the springboard breaks and sends the guy flying into the judge table pop into my head.

@cd150155youification this is the world record, i repeat this IS the world record, no man has jumped further than England"s Jonathan Edwards 18.29 world record jumped in 1995.
I am a sophomore in high school, jumping around 40 ft. at the beginning of the season, and am in need of a personal trainer/summer camp to help me reach my full potential. Any suggestions?
JE was technically the best triple jumper ever. His described his technique like a stone skimming across a pond, maintaining as much momentum as possible. He was also a devout Christian and for many years would not compete on the Sabbeth. I think that this kept him from over-training and injury in the early part of his career. He was (I think) 28 when he set this world record, and carried on until he was 37 or 38 I believe.
@camtheman3x6 Why? Him being British has nothing to do with his jumping ability, so the fact you share a nation means as much as you two sharing the same hair color. Don't try to leech off of someone else's success.
@ninjajesus81 In all reasonable aspects - What the FUCK are you talking about!? it was a fucking compliment, people like you make me sick. You obviously know nothing about athletics at all. Don't try and start an argument with me you sadistic bag of shit.
@camtheman3x6 Cry me a river. What does my knowledge of athletics have anything to do with you trying to boost your own confidence by using someone else's accomplishments?
@ninjajesus81 yeah but most americans say the same when they win something. thats the point of the games to enjoy and be proud of what a native has achieved. its a worlds success in my eyes, great jump. i think the WR will be broken soon though.
That being said, I believe the Frenchman Terry Tamgho will break this record eventually. His first two jumps are even better than Edward's but he hasn't been able to maintain his speed to the end. That of course is the difficult part and Edwards does it remarkably well
This is genuinly insane. Teddy and Philips are no where near this distance on their lifetime bests. It is a proven fact that individuals of african-caribbean descent have more twitch-fibre muscles and thus can jump high, further, run faster etc. It is mind boggling how he did this being a small, white, relatively un-buff guy. Still blows my mind every time I watch it. True hero of modern athletics!
my god, pause it as he does the jump. out of all athletes i think Edwards has made the UK a very proud country, but i am liking the way Phillips Idowu is still aiming for this record, wish him all the best :)

my god, pause it as he does the jump. out of all athletes i think Edwards has made the UK a very proud country, but i am liking the way Phillips Idowu is still aiming for this record, wish him all the best :)
