Love to hear it man. All the best this year ✊🏿🚀

@ Thanks man. Is there a specific gym workout I should be doing to prepare for the upcoming indoor season? Or should it be more focused on plyometrics?

There is no guaranteed way or formula to tell. In theory, it should be further, but that all depends on your strength and ability to handle the increased approach speed.

I’m glad it resonated with you!

Always appreciated 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

My pleasure 🤝

Glad this has been helpful for you and thanks for supporting the channel as always! There could be a few things going on worth looking at: 1. You may be going too high in your hop phase to get off the ground quick enough into the step phase 2. You may be running too fast for your technique to keep up 3. Your foot may be striking too far in front of you from hop to step. All of these things could be happening together. Try setting up a camera to the side of the runway and do the resetting the clock drill in this video. Then study the footage to see at which point you’re losing your speed, going too high, or where your form breaks down. This drill should help you self diagnose the issue from there 🤝

Based on a lot of my research, doing drop jumps off a small ledge or the bottom step of a stairway is a great way to work on your knee strength. Bounding is also an option if you have access to a decently big and flat yard, or you have a field of some sort nearby (that isn't covered in chicken poop like mine). Olu might have something different to mention, but from my experience, both of those work well. Just make sure to do them often (every day or every other day) to maintain the strength you gain over time.

This is the way👆🏿 Bounding and other plyometrics are vital as a jumper. I’ll add that bounding should be your first method of improving your leg strength, and though you don’t necessarily need to do them every day, doing some version of plyometric work 2-4 times per week depending on your ability level will work wonders for you. Check out the beginner plyometrics video I uploaded to this channel for more.

@@oolamigoke i'm a 13 year old going into triple jump for the first time properly this year im going to go to state with a pb or 11.66m but i feel like my landing is missing something that my competitors have, could you please maybe make a video that focuses on landing becuase if think that would really help be push myself further.

I'm glad this is helpful for you. I just uploaded another drill video that may be useful for you to try 🤞🏿

@@oolamigoke thank you man. I’ll definitely go check it out

I do paid film reviews, but the best piece of advice I can give you is free: at your age, you will be better off learning the event for the fun of it, and not being concerned about becoming pro any time soon. You're young, and you can have a much brighter future for yourself in this sport if you avoid putting that type of pressure on yourself this early.

So glad you’ve found these videos helpful! ✊🏿

That will take some time but I’m on it

you can do plyos 2-3x per week and isos everyday as long as you can physically tolerate it.

Glad you felt a difference!

Not sure if you’ve watched this video, but it might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXOxiqejZ8R8ppYsi=iasu-oA-smjimTP-

Glad you’re enjoying the detailed breakdowns, and glad to be back! I would do these drills during the warm up before every jump session so you can rehearse the proper mechanics, then apply them soon after. I can also do a video covering that arm technique, but it’s not something I’ve ever used… so maybe I’ll do a review of an athlete who does.

My pleasure 🤝

There’s a video coming soon that should address this

Female jumpers tend to use single arm movements because the general consensus is that “they don’t develop enough force using the double arm”. This may be true at younger ages, but I don’t think it truly applies at the elite level. Case in point: Thea LaFond (2024 World Indoor Champion and 15m jumper) has been using the double arm technique for years now to great success. She and I were actually training together around the time when she decided to try out the double arm technique. The rest is history. So I think the reason why women tend to use single arm technique over double arm is at least in part to them being taught that at a young age. However, when they mature physically and develop strength, they stick with single arm because it’s what they know, not because they’re incapable of using the double arm. Hope that helps!
