We Back! New Off-season High Jump Training

[@JeradLover]

So excited for my winter season this year, as a freshman last year I got a pb of 1.70 at the last season meet but I never got to jump at any winter meets. I was able to get 1.68 meters a few days ago off of short approach and 1.78 is my goal for winter season because that would put me in winter champs. Love the training videos jumpman

I feel the same way about not focusing too much on the technical aspects of the high jump rather the aspects of the run up and how the takeoff feels. You’re right that being faster and stronger will cause the form to come naturally so your body can actually hit this position “/“ at takeoff I improved my pr from 2.06 to 2.11 in one year’s time with this mindset as-well. My curve running got better in which caused me to not slow down into takeoff because I could handle the pressure. I see a lot of similarities between our jumping styles and feel that is one aspect I think you should look into. Loved the video and good luck jumping!

[@logansmith4063]

So good to have these back!

[@K4l3b]

Get in there! Looking clean with that new form, immediately noticable! GL with your season.

About 7 weeks out from a meniscus surgery. I should have heeded your advice from a comment many months ago telling me to pause training. A few weeks later, I tore my meniscus, and I missed all of championship season. Lots of PT and recovery time is needed. On a brighter note, watching these videos gives me hope that I'll be jumping soon enough. I can't wait to do some pre-season sprint training around September. Our school just got a new track so it'll feel beautiful to run on.

[@matehj]

Sometimes we learn the hard way hahahah. It makes us stronger for the future. Hope recovery goes well and so sick you got a new track. Ull be itching to get on it!

[@kaegcaeg3389]

I like track although I don't do much but I can guess that flying or even scraping over the bar has to be the most satisfying feeling ever ha

[@matehj]

No way, a clearance when you don't feel the bar below you is amazing.

[@matehj]

Never gone! Just lurking haha

[@bigchungusmk6]

How do you treat shin splints jumping so often? Great content btw :)

[@matehj]

Slowly work into jumping. Gotta take baby steps. I couldnt handle max jumping twice a week from the get go. And even now after an extended break i have to work into it again.

[@sym647]

Ik this is a very late comment, but I have two questions that would really help me out: first, when I approach, I can never kick my right leg up to my butt when planting (I'm a left foot jumper). I also feel that I have very little air time on my plant step, is that the way it should be? Or should I hop into my plant so I can kick my right leg up and drive better? Second question is kinda dumb but I've never jumped in spikes at all, how big of a difference do they make in regards to jump height versus like regular tennis shoes?

[@Nikaujepsen]

excited to compete with you next year

[@matehj]

Yoo fellow nz jumper?

MATE POSTED ANOTHER VLOG RAHHHH

[@MSRjodha]

Which exercise and activity should be done more to increase high jump in speed workout?

[@matehj]

Sprint.

[@MSRjodha]

@@matehj What should be the weight of a high jumper? My height is 6'3 (1:90) so what should be my weight

[@AthleticsEditz]

Yaroslava matchup WHEN? (I’m gonna ask this every video on this channel until it happens - don’t make me wait! 😅)

[@matehj]

One day when jumpman is big enough. Get an exhibition match.

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@matehj Absolutely! With TRP commentating and streaming of course!

[@gagebala]

Hey odd question but have you ever high jumped in javelin spikes? They have the same spike layout and I recently saw someone use them in a meet.

[@matehj]

No, because it would mean buying a pair haha. Would love to try it but I assume they're heavy as. A normal size 11 mens hj spike is around like 300 grams I think.

[@gagebala]

@@matehj I’d imagine they’d be very supportive of the ankles tho lmao

[@luizarthurdecathlon3015]

How do you get the free leg through quickly?

[@matehj]

Practicing doing it without the bar up. Build the habbit. You'll also learn that it makes you go higher.

[@ttwin2]

new running form go brr

[@joker-zw2xl]

when i'm jumping off one foot my body makes me go forward, like in a long jump, how can i change that and get more vertical?

[@matehj]

Lean your body away from the bar /mats at takeoff.

[@MSRjodha]

Bhi mara sath bhi hota hai

[@joker-zw2xl]

@@matehj thank you

[@aidanmacgregor1868]

I’m trying to find Adidas high jump Spikes. I can’t find them anywhere. Does Adidas still sell them? Please help

[@matehj]

ebay

[@nikkileekley730]

Could be slow pull through also, Weak hip flexors? idk, could be psoas muscle weakness or tightness. Something I've dealt with. I know Chris Korfist has also to say about that. anyway, fan of the vids keep going!

[@matehj]

Was definitely some weakness as well as building the habbit of running wrong. Has gotten easier and more comfortable with time. And appreciate the support!

[@TightHammy]

⁠I have a couple of suggestions/coaching ques that helped me a lot. U have a similar takeoff to what I had when I was jumping, and I would love to potentially help you out if you’re interested.

[@matehj]

Yeah ofc man, always happy to hear some advice!

[@TightHammy]

Patreon DMs would be a better place to discuss I think

[@DirkCuber]

7 foot when?

[@matehj]

my summer coming very soon.

[@MR.CLEAN777]

I gained 20 pounds since my season ended 😭 bro from 160-180

[@matehj]
