Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22044 posts	Keep increasing the height or add weight? I tried holding a weight in each hand, but because of the way I was swinging my arms I wasn't sure if I was actually feeling the weight or not. Thoughts on this?

I tried holding a weight in each hand, but because of the way I was swinging my arms I wasn't sure if I was actually feeling the weight or not. Thoughts on this? General Ill is pretty good at these. For a short guy. I think that holding weights in your hands is an odd one: no one is going to do a max height jump with their hands down by their sides. If you swing your arms up with dumbbells, I am pretty sure your bio-mechanics will get mixed up. Then again, a box jump is not really a max height jump - unless you are trying to keep your legs as straight as possible - as people tend to end up landing in a squat position: or in the doberman pooping position as the height/weight gets harder. I would recommend a weight vest and/or increasing box height.

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225 495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	Wayne_Cowdrey said: I tried holding a weight in each hand, but because of the way I was swinging my arms I wasn't sure if I was actually feeling the weight or not. Thoughts on this? swinging the weights in your hands could potentially make it easier. the ancient greeks used hand weights to increase the distance they could long jump. http://ancientolympics.arts.kuleuven.be/picEN/slides/P0067.jpg they also apparently had tiny penises.

some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280 710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	Height, but there is no need to go crazy. If I did box jumps now I'd probably do them 'straight legged' and focus on pure vertical height as opposed to hip mobility!

When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5 717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq	I would do some equipped box jumps Springs on shoes - same as double ply Pogo stick - same as single ply Nike air max - same as raw with wraps
