[@molaakk]

It works for 2 feet jumper aswell.. That’s why he also mentioned ”especially for one leg jumper”..

[@zachmclean2858]

What do you think about the sled push to mimick that angle?

[@aaronlatif52]

I have a method but hard to get the perfect knee bend if you arent the ideal height/vertical reach. Stand under a door, press your hands into the frame and drive as hard as you can though the single leg and hold for 5 seconds. I can get more drive compared to the leaning one which is solid in its own right.

[@eco5013]

Thenks you I Irqi,

[@ar9maker]

This makes me think of a video from athlean x to improve your bench. You do an iso bench with the bar on safeties a few inches above your chest with weight you can't lift on the bar (so it's an iso)

[@dragocrnjac5504]

How about holding an Bulgarian split squat (rare foot elevated split squat) at those angles?

[@evergreenthunder]

I've read about track coaches using that before with great success. Google it.

[@dooraexploore9388]

That could work, you can always get a backpack and fill it with water bottles or books as a little extra weight

[@clash9841]

Drago Crnjac I would prefer to do the Bulgarian squat instead of holding it. I think holding it helps you with your sprints and lateral quickness rather than your vertical

[@patrickh481]

@@clash9841 Sprinting and vertical go hand in hand, both about explosiveness..lots of people use spritning, including myself to work on their vertical.

[@vedantagnihotri5545]

Bro how will you know how to do the exercise properly if u dont see the demonstration

[@bilasi1289]

Should you do those before or after or in the middle from the workout

[@va4114]

I know this is 6 months late but maybe other people got the same question, whenever you go all out it should be at max effort, so at the beginning, it’s like with sprinting if you want to get faster you have to be doing it at your max, fully rested

[@airstozek]

Where to put this exercise into the workout structure, beggining or at close to the end?

[@jaimemorales3566]

Beginning/Middle, isometrics like this are a great way to turn on muscles in the ankle and rev them up or wake them up for the rest of the workout

[@danielbell4756]

Hey man I’m 5’9 at 16 yr and without any training I can get to about 10’2 ft. If I trained I could get REALLY good, like 45 inch vert type good. If there’s any possibility I can get some training?? Thanks 🙏

[@fatihalpay4903]

İs it work to 2 feet jump?

[@iliashishoski1261]

thx! how to measure if you jump two legs?

[@moiids1668]

This is for 1 leg. Being able to do all 4 jumps is important

[@thesheriff5598]

Seems like this could be done in a standing raise machine as well

[@SimranWasu]

Great exercise and rationale and I definitely plan to use it. I understand that this is more for leg stiffness at this angle right and not to increase total power output when jumping, right? The paper you cited mentions that "Isometric exercises improved dynamic strength at a low velocity but not at a high velocity" which would mean that this may not increase strength for jumping directly. Your thoughts on this?

[@urbrodieaj2363]

Simran Wasu Not strength. It allows for the forces to be translated more effectively through a stiffer leg/tendons. This allows for more total power output my being able to use up all the potential energy.

[@urbrodieaj2363]

Simran Wasu For example, if I bring in a lot of speed for a one-foot takeoff but my leg stiffness isn’t stiff enough at the takeoff angle I will blow through the jump and a lot of the energy will leak into other directions besides up

[@urbrodieaj2363]

Simran Wasu they directly correlate

[@DosBrosVideos]

Is this good if im recoveryng from patellar tendointis?

[@molaakk]

Can’t really answer that question, but what I can say is that I had some knee soreness from plyos some days and Isometrics like this got rid of the pain basically the same day..

[@charliebroussard8505]

Pro tip: if you’re at home with no pins, get someone to push down on your shoulders or do it under a door frame

[@fezzard]

cwb 154 yeah under a door frame, we’re not all 7 foot tall shaq.

[@charliebroussard8505]

fezzard push up with your arms dude, I’m 5’11 and can easily do this

[@DondiWhiteRIP]

You will produce more force than another person could provide

[@DondiWhiteRIP]

@@charliebroussard8505 your arms are much weaker than your legs, so will limit the output and defeat the purpose of the exercise. It's an 'overcoming isometric': it has to be done against an immovable object

[@aldendumana7414]

Is ‘amortization’ same with ‘anomerization’? Or different terms?

[@janusmagus]

it is amortization phase. My guess is someone else edits the videos who isn't familiar with the term, but it is the same thing.

[@RR22555]

Can someone please let me know how often i should do this? Everyday?

[@LaurenceWAFC]

Why is it called the anomerization phase? Ive never heard of this, where has your research for this come from? I thought anomerisation was the conversion process of one anomer to another? Just seeking clarification, great video nonetheless.

[@gillpeakperformance4945]

The amoritization phase is just another term for the isometric (same length) phase that follows the eccentric (lengthening) phase and precedes the concentric (shortening) phase of the stretch-shoretning cycle. Many researchers utilize the term synonymously with "time to rebound" and measure it in terms of "coupling time."

[@LaurenceWAFC]

Cam Gill thanks for that bro

[@TheChexMix]

[@reecelogan1360]

Are you using your calf muscle during this exercise, or are you pushing through your quads - or both?

[@limo-swine6537]

You have to push using both the muscles. Even if you try to use only 1 muscle you'll end up using all the ones that are needed. Also glutes are very important.
