Bro i did 1.20 meters with the scissor techinique for the army,thanks for the past advice ,now if i want to do 1.30 meters with scissor it's ok to do 3 or 4 sprint of 30 or 40 meters one day a week?as a strenght exercise i always do the wheighted pistol squat

[@matehj]

Good to hear brother! And of course, sprinting is the foundation to all sports!

[@badpullingowgaming........3275]

Explose jump

[@afarr4607]

What sort of “competition day” is that, high school, college, club, ect? because here in the US you won’t often find a 2.21 jumper jumping against 1.80s. Just wondering

[@matehj]

It's a jumps only club competition in new zealand. Not a lot of 'good' jumpers here, so there is a gap between the good athletes and the spectacular. Hence 221 being first and 206 being second. And the 180's were women :P. Also Hamish recently jumped 2.34, dude is proper class.

[@seealexrun7649]

Hamish is an Olympic athlete lol

[@matehj]

@@seealexrun7649 indeed he is!

What are flies? Haven’t heard of it before

[@zephann8714]

Hey bro, really informative video you got here. Just curious, what's your height tho?

[@matehj]

189cm and 80kg altho u didn't ask weight haha. And cheers man it's what I'm going for :P

[@zephann8714]

@@matehj ayo thanks for the reply mate. Im actually trying out high jump myself forthe first time so watching your video was pretty helpful. Good luck to your future competitions, you got this 💪

[@khi8620]

I am lifting heavy for power clean squat and other stuff but im slow and not exploding much off one leg. My two foot jump is good in basketball and better than my one foot jump. Does this mean i need to do less lifting and more cardio or do i need to lose weight or something?

[@matehj]

It just means you need to practice one foot jumping over your two foot jump. Good strength and power helps increase your potential to jump higher, but isn't the main driver of jumping higher. When I started my 2 foot and 1 foot were about equal, but now there's like a 10 inch difference. And cardio ain't the answer to jumping higher haha

[@badpullingowgaming........3275]

Bro how to power leg

[@boiceetegha1585]

I have a question, on what software do you program your training

[@matehj]

Google sheets. God send of a program!

[@badpullingowgaming........3275]

How to explose

[@Rxzzer]

I’m 14, no gym access, no equipment access. My pb for high jump is 1.68m how can I improve without anything?

[@dhilipdhilipan7968]

Make video for basic scissor jump

[@sampulchyrmang4660]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@llufabluff4700]

Just for refernce, when you say 72kg for example in hang cleans, is that counting the weight of the bar?

[@matehj]

yes haha, bar is 20kg + the weights

[@llufabluff4700]

Haha okey thanks!

[@Piarh]

How much days of recovery before high jump competition?

[@matehj]

2 days is my usual go to :)

[@sreesivankm]

Bro can you pleas make a vedio on exercises to help jumb 160 cm

[@matehj]

Anything I do in the video is beneficial, but sure at some point I will haha.

[@sreesivankm]

@@matehj i'm struggling to jumb 160 cm ( scissor)

@@sreesivankm keep jumping and trying to get stronger and you'll get there easy man. 1.6 scissor ain't easy!

[@sreesivankm]

@@matehj ok❤️

[@RashadA452]

Hi. My school is about to start the tracking and field unit for PE and intramural sports. I want to get better at high jump but I don't know where to practice freely. Do you have any adivce? I live in ahaneim

[@matehj]

Joining a club and trying to link up with a HJ group firstly, but I mean you can do some scuffed training at basketball courts (tryna touch the rim /dunk) or just doing sprints/skips/bounds at a field. Anything to get the single leg bounce going! Hard to practice over the bar technique without a mat though.

[@RashadA452]

@@matehj ok thank you I’ll try my best even though I’m still growin at 5’5

[@bry2fyee258]

Gotta look back gng

[@bry2fyee258]

Nvm maybe the angle was just bad😂😂

[@matehj]

What ya referring to? Because I do tend to look at the bar midair because I'm scared haha

[@renefilippov1734]

Im 17 and I have been stuck on 175 for 2 years at this point

[@matehj]

I'd say review and reevaluate training my brother. Goodluck!

[@renefilippov1734]

@@matehj yea, have been hitting the gym more often lately

[@matehj]

@@renefilippov1734 good to hear my man's! do you also have a coach and access to a hj set often?

[@renefilippov1734]

@@matehj yeah, not a personal coach, but I have one. With him i do hj once a week, and twice alone at my home stadium and then gym twice or 3 times a week

[@renefilippov1734]

I don't have hj spikes rn only multi event ones

[@creekyknee]

Why did you need to include an expletive in your commentary ? stopped watching at 0:53. If I wanted to listen to foul language I wouldn't have chosen to watch a video about high jumping.

[@matehj]

I swear.
