He Depth Jumped 96 INCHES!

[@aboutparkourtraining]

Every day plenty of parkour athletes do these types of drop jumps outside on the concrete, including Chris, but as soon as he did it in a gym it went viral 😂 Parkour founders have been doing some extreme drop jumps (e.g. 1000 depth jumps from 3 meters in a span of a few hours (not the brightest idea)) and they still jump today when they are in their 50s. Research, unfortunately, is so lacking when it comes to eccentric strength and drop/depth jumps, hopefully, that will change in the following years. Thank you for making this video, your thoughts were on point!!!!!

Did he just depth jump the height of a 1 story house? Parkour is no joke

[@Runner-Boy]

Didint Eric do that off an actual house when testing knees over toes guy stuff

[@gamebrotherhood]

@@Runner-Boy dam i would love to see that

Imagine someone looking at 96 inch depth jump and assuming it is meant for a complete novice and not building up to that point as something that helps and might even be necessary rather than novelty.

Will Ratelle man what a freak athlete. Love both of your guys’ videos.

[@Gojimaru]

He definitely needs a larger audience. His information is very well presented and concise. Perfect for the modern viewer.

That video of soviet explosive training in the background was amazing. Could you guys please share a link to that video? Love the content, as always.

[@sscswimmer1]

That video is obviously fake. It's clearly in reverse

Have you seen parkour? 😅

In parkour, snarky know-it-all comments come with the territory. If you train parkour at all, you’re the butt of every joke.

[@LucasDimoveo]

Yup. It sucks

[@Swamp_Donkey_]

can you do some videos about how to actually utilize plyometrics and what theyre used for?

[@liamstephenson1686]

Came for the info, stayed for Gurph’s shorts.

Great looking merchandise you’ve clothed yourselves in 👍🏻

[@colmtesticles]

Inches and then miles per hour. What's with the freedom units?

[@Hossak]

Fantastic video as always. I have never heard of the depth jump before, fascinating concept and obviously something that should only be used intelligently.

[@onemanswrld405]

Summer after college I worked for a moving company, and after jumping off the back of the trucks a few times (around 5 feet) I realized pretty quickly that it's not so simple as just dropping into a squat, my knees took a beating that summer!

[@gqqggq7127]

Both impressive and insane.

[@spencermackay9020]

All I'm saying is they're not helping lengthen Chris' legs though. That's all I'm saying.

[@m00nkiid]

Really enjoying the videos on different training practises. I like how they are relevant to different sports other than weightlifting. Some more videos on plyometrics would be cool

[@LucasDimoveo]

Before snarky instagram comments we used to have people coming up to us screaming “PARKOUR”. Never understood why someone would think that was appropriate

[@cluisdotorg]

Bit unschooled on this sorcery, but it appears his heels only touch the floor after the "movement" has concluded. We need @standupmaths to do the weight value of his body at that speed, cause its pretty remarkable to me.

[@LucasDimoveo]

That would be a cool video!

[@JackBlack-ue3ou]

for some dumbass reason i expected him to jump at least as high as the platform from which he jumped off

[@paoloh885]

People get away with shit like this while I always get some form of knee tendonitis when I try to increase training/running volume. Life's unfair.

[@keldsports8337]

Almost seems like controls the descent for a perfect rebound, very impressive. If that’s me, I’d pancake like wile e coyote 😂 Negative comments don’t realize this is a trained skill, like Jesus squatting 1000 or Thor deadlifting 501.

[@DVILAIN]

John Evans explained that due to so much deformation on this depth jump he produced less power that an average athlete from a 35 inch box but with shorter ground contact. Cool jump tho it's impressive but the risk to reward ratio especially for jumpers weak.

[@Kobe005]

He mentioned some Clark Kennedy guy at the end did anyone know who he was talking about?

[@LucasDimoveo]

Clarence Kennedy. A tricker/ weightlifter

@sika strength Can I squat in regular sneakers? Approximately 2-3 hours after the workout, squats or deadlifts in weightlifting shoes start to strain the knees.

[@davek7706]

It's fine if they are relatively flat soled. You don't want the heel roll possible with running shoes. For example, Converse All-Stars are a popular shoe for weight lifting. You can also squat barefoot.

[@statictech7]

Depth jumps were disproven by Olympic coaches decades ago. They are only useful for breaking your ankles and destroying your knees. And to be clear a tiny depth jump is not really a depth jump. Its just a waste of time. I love all the videos you have been making. I just disagree with this exercise and i dont trust the studies backing it.

[@Danomax]

Don't do death jumps.

[@PhiyackYuh]

So where the olympic lifters at? You guys are so strong and produce more power, why wont you guys do that depth jump then? Bunch of softies 😂
