It was memory full, had to keep deleting vids to make space which is why I missed my last set of box jumps, (just cuts off).
ive not sorted out the comp vids so they are taking up all th space.

If you pause it as soon as I take off it really looks like I should fall flat on my face

davidhowarth said:
Ive been looking at mine and tomorrow ill post a vid when I do them at home and the vid when I do them today, you will see that they look alot better. ill bring a tape measure too. wana know how far I can jump!

Tom_Martin said:
I'd like to see a video of yours and have a look through frame by frame to see if you end up in any of the same death defying positions I do....
And if not, then maybe you know how to improve distance?

davidhowarth said:
Sort of I think, I did see something live and thought.... something new.
will more distance mean more power output?? I dont know and dont think so, but would be nice to improve on the long jump nevertheless.
one thing is for sure, there is tech in this!

Tom_Martin said:
As with all things, with better technique you can jump further without being more powerful. The only way to avoid that variable though, is to max out your technique, and then continue to jump further. Then it has to be power?

davidhowarth said:
Once I get the technique sorted out then anything after that would mean power output has got better.
Im going to take the month of squats, can`t have them feeling like crap when I can train everything apart from sqauts pain free. and then see where they are at in the new year. Sounds like a plan, a rehab one at that. worked for you having the time off?

Tom_Martin said:
Replace them with something that does something similar without the pain? How are front squats? Heavier overhead squats?
The way I rehabbed them was by doing squats but with very little weight so there is no pain and gradually increase the weight in such a manner where no pain is experienced very slowly

davidhowarth said:
Overhead squats no pain what so ever and no pain on anything else a part from back/front squats which is why I think I can get away with not doing them for a month or 2. quads and hammies will still be trained but more on the lifts and just not on the squats
overhead squats and snatch to replace back squats
jumps, hang power cleans, full and power cleans to replace front.
When I post the vids you will see that it is stupid to train though it and rest will be best for it in the long run.

Tom_Martin said:
Sounds good, but alongside that I would actually try to directly rehab back squats.
Maybe back squat 2x per week at the end of your sessions
Week 1 Session 1 - 20kg x 3 sets of 10
Week 1 Session 2 - 25kg x 3 sets of 10
And so on and so on 5kg at a time.
This worked for me...
