Great.

[@tokicsan]

Thx for the reply man. Keep up the excellent work!

[@InsaneAthletix]

Take a look at what his knee and tibia does after the plant. No forward movement AT ALL happening. If you look at how his body moves, that is a 100% posterior-chain driven jump.

Hey Joel, just found out your channel and let me say what a good job you've made in all your videos. Great variety of exercises! Anyways, I just wanted to know your take in the broad jump to increase vertical jump. My guess is that it's useful specially in the the 2 foot jump, but wanted to know your opinion. Also, if you find it useful, how many days per week should be done and how many sets/ reps per session. Thanks

Hi Goncalo, thanks for the comment. A two foot standing broad jump is a nice tool in increasing jumping ability. It is driven slightly more from the hip and arms than a standing vertical jump, so athletes weak in those points may find they can strengthen them. For plyometrics, a depth jump is the most specific plyometric you can get for improving vertical, however... there is more training transfer there.

Joel Smith Also, the days per week and sets/reps per sessions are going to depend on what else is in your program.

Does he do it barefoot or am I blind?

[@ad-marri]

What a legend

[@michaelmccann4429]

Little to no deflection at takeoff, reactive strength at its finest.

[@ichiagou]

niice. what do you think his vert would be?

[@alexlukin9393]

about 45-47 i guess.

[@odemc4838]

+Alex Lukin lol, it would be more than that...

[@alexlukin9393]

Ode MC not really. everytime, everyone tries to exaggerate his vertical. i can believe only predrfat vertical test, or something like that.

[@robertbaranski3963]

Look at his legs. It would be 2,45 m at its maximum. Let us be realistic :) I definitely do not believe that it could be a +2,45 m jump (but I may be wrong).

[@Raptorel]

2.50m in his near future :D
