Long Jump Technique | The Penultimate Step

[@johnyishac8255]

so should we stay running as fast as we can?

[@OutperformOfficial]

You always want to carry as much speed as possible. The main idea of this video is to have the softer step that slightly drops the hips be the 3rd to last instead of the penultimate (2nd to last). This will help you maintain more speed vs dropping the hips on the 2nd to last step. We actually just posted an article that covers the penultimate step in depth. The last video does a good job of explaining the last 3 steps xpollinationproductions.com/long-jump-penultimate-step/

[@johnyishac8255]

X Pollination Productions does the penultimate step just happen or is it something you need to master?

[@OutperformOfficial]

@@johnyishac8255 yes, that it just happens is actually a good way to think about it. The problem happens when jumpers try to load up on it and drop their hips. It should be a quick step that is developed through various drills. As Janay says, if you even think about it it will change the way you jump.

[@johnyishac8255]

X Pollination Productions so the real trick is to just forget about it?

[@jameswittmann1608]

Johny Ishac no is to instead drop or hips at 3rd to last step instead of 2nd to last step

[@emileawereed8459]

Best video I've seen on the penultimate. Too many athletes and coaches don't understand that it's actually meant to be a very quick step that doesn't interrupt your forward progress or speed at all. Excellent 🙌🏾

[@OutperformOfficial]

I appreciate that!

[@kuichib]

I don't even do athletics, but watching these for reference instead - amazing what the body can do!

[@lucas.hahn2027]

As a high level basketball player doing track as an alternative to boost my level of fitness I wanted to also become one of the best in my area with this sport as well. And these videos are giving me a perfect base to build upon!

[@OutperformOfficial]

Great to hear, basketball and track is an outstanding combo!

[@jay_autumn]

This very helpful. Thanks cause I've recently started self-training for long-jump 🔥

[@OutperformOfficial]

Thanks, that's great to hear! Best of luck on your long jumping journey!

[@LofiWurld]

Would love to see your self training journey and if it’s possible without joining a club etc. Can’t find one near me and I’m even struggling to locate sand pit to train at

As a black teen girl, It feels good to see another black woman doing the same thing I'm trying/attempting to do. Great role model for me!

Great to hear, Janay is amazing, probably the most graceful and athletic person I have ever seen. Keep at it!

[@hamzaabdalla2081]

Thank you so much for the info. I am having track and field in less than a month and as a 6th grader I don't want to injure myself while doing the running long jump.

[@pavankumark7335]

You are giving us a very useful information and technics thank you so much sir. I'm a fan of you from India 🇮🇳

[@OutperformOfficial]

Heck yeah! That is great to hear.

[@ruelmartin4023]

Can you make a video about long jump flight techniques especially the sail/stride technique please

[@OutperformOfficial]

Thanks for the suggestion Ruel, we'll keep it in mind if we film future long jump videos.

[@aidam7948]

Can I ask what is the distance between the boxes in the exercise "box ground box"?

[@dwimalubasumatary6344]

2:26 😂😂😂 okay I understand, good information

[@jameswittmann1608]

SOOOOO helpful omg thanks 👍🏼

[@jameswittmann1608]

When u drop ur hips at third to last step do u land flat footed as well on that third to last step?

[@OutperformOfficial]

Short answer is yes, you should continue with proper sprinting technique all the way to the board.

[@mohammedahsan1870]

Very helpful

[@OutperformOfficial]

Glad to hear that

[@gokulprasanth99]

Can u upload a video on long jump workouts ?

[@OutperformOfficial]

As soon as facilities start opening up and we can get back to filming :)

[@TysonGunterPLY]

The box drill shown still focuses on lowering of the 2nd to last step, not the 3rd. So how do you lower on fhe 3rd? Is it a flat step then two quick steps?

[@OutperformOfficial]

Lowering of the hips is achieved by a softer step. The softer step causes the next step to be longer. Which results in the step after that to be shorter. 3rd to last step hips drop - next stride to 2nd to last step is longer - last stride to the board is shorter.

[@sarahmoravchik1613]

How far away are box boxes in that last drill the video had?

[@OutperformOfficial]

The spacing will depend on the athlete and their stride length. In this example they were ~2.75 meters or 9 feet.

[@gokulrajas3553]

Super sir

[@surjitsingh8754]

Please tell me 🙏🙏 should I run on toes or heels?

[@OutperformOfficial]

Neither, check out this video for a good explanation of ground contact. Applies to long jump as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKukfpVpaKqMorM

[@lukenguyen2846]

So do we literally soften the 3rd step ?

[@OutperformOfficial]

Yes, in a way. That 3rd to last step is slightly different from a technical standpoint in that your hips are dropping and ground contact is somewhat altered. However you don't want it to be a major change and like the penultimate step, you don't want to overemphasize it if that makes sense.

[@teemarcus3591]

This is great

[@angelaknutson4834]

How and where do we get these boxes?

[@OutperformOfficial]

check out epic sports, lots of options

[@anupchetry8352]

Which leg used long jump for more distance . I am righty

[@OutperformOfficial]

Experiment with both and go with the leg that you are most comfortable with and delivers the best result.

[@shannonlacy6117]

How tall are the boxes?

[@OutperformOfficial]

3-6 inches

[@ruelmartin4023]

I depend on the penultimate step to get height

[@OutperformOfficial]

Move the softer step back to the 3rd to last step and focus on being quick with the penultimate instead of dropping the hips. Check out this article we just posted for more detail xpollinationproductions.com/long-jump-penultimate-step/

[@purexylo9745]

When landing in long jump, do they mark it from your butt or feet?

[@OutperformOfficial]

The jump will be marked from the closest spot you touched to the board. So if you land correctly and don't drag your hand it should be your butt.

[@purexylo9745]

X Pollination Productions so is it better to land on your feet or butt?

[@OutperformOfficial]

@@purexylo9745 You should land on the feet and then collapse down, check out this video we posted, it should help answer your question kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGaYXpmsg65-gLc

[@joachim7]

First and thanks for the video

[@renebotana7263]

I try the long jump for first time at 33 . Technique was awful 😂 manege to reach 5 meter . Is that good t all?

[@OutperformOfficial]

That's awesome, especially for your first time! Hitting 5 meters without having the technique down is impressive-it shows you have some natural ability. With some work on your form and technique, you could definitely improve that distance even more. Keep at it and have fun with the process!

[@renebotana7263]

@@OutperformOfficial thanks you. It’s really encouraging hearing that from you.I really need help with it hope some more videos coming

[@brennanquaintance7959]

How come Ruel Martin commented 8 times on this video

[@kung9288]

I'm really confused, is the penultimate step the one where u STEP and then jump after that? Or is it STEP/PENULTIMATE STEP/STEP/JUMP?

[@OutperformOfficial]

Penultimate step is the second to last step.. So penultimate/step/ jump. Ideally the hips should be lowered on the 3rd to last step. This negates the need for any change in mass on the 2nd to last step.There is a great article on our site if you want an in-depth explanation with step by step details xpollinationproductions.com/long-jump-penultimate-step/

[@kung9288]

@@OutperformOfficial Thank you

[@ruelmartin4023]

I cannot NOT do the penultimate step it would be uncomfortable and I wouldnt jump far I think

[@OutperformOfficial]

Correct, unless its a standing long jump you have to have a penultimate because its the second to last step. The idea is to not overemphasize it and use the 3rd to last step to slightly lower the hips.

[@ruelmartin4023]

Remember sail technique please

[@ruelmartin4023]

And how can I improve my long jump approach, take off, flight and landing

[@OutperformOfficial]

That's a lot. Find a good coach, get the jumping smarter master class, keep working at it!
