im waiting for Darqui's comments

from my knowledge, when working on your vertical you shouldnt get tired when doing exersizes, your spose to keep it so you can jump at full capacity with each jump but i could be wrong to

@caramelanthony You are correct. There are times when you can really bag it and work on conditioning, but in terms of performance improvements of power or speed components (such as vertical jump), those components must be done in a fatigue-free state.

@jumptrainee1 The couple of sloppy were him never doing depth jumps before hand. He fell backwards because he was tired and his feet land from underneath his hips. His jumps were sloppy because as fatigue wore on his his technique broke down. Distance had nothing to do with that. He Didn't have adequate strength which is a factor of him not doing them before hand. In Depth Jumps it takes a while for the body to get accustomed to the load. though it was the execution I wanted you to see.

@doctoryessis in your depth jump video the athlete had a couple reps that were sloppy because he was trying to avoid hitting the box. that's not an issue if you step forward a little

@doctoryessis I've watched your vids. Seems the main thing I don't get is why it's so important to drop straight down. I realize it changes things, but is it a bad change? Especially if you're training for a vertical jump from a forward approach. I've had experiences where I did a depth jump workout and jumped 2-3 inches higher off 1 and 2 feet the very next day. so obviously my style doesn't ruin the exercise. part of why I step forward is to just clear the box and give myself some space.

@doctoryessis ok now you're just splitting hairs with vocabulary. I understand the exercise very well and I agree with what you're saying. I just don't get how I'm not doing that in the video

[jumptrainee1]

@doctoryessis ok depth drops is just another term for altitude jumps or drops. adding a slight forward component just helps the athlete land in a loaded position with the weight on the balls of the feet. this produces a landing where the force is absorbed better rather than a landing with a hard heel contact. surely you agree with that. I'm sure you could do a good landing without the forward component too but I think it makes it easier

@doctoryessis I believe stepping off is exactly what is in the video. care to explain more about the height and distance?
