not all can achieve gold in SBJ lah...for them a sliver is good enough liao..from nothing...i have seen guys who canot even jump 2m leh...for them to jump 40cm more is like asking them to pull up 5 more...cheers Na those cannot jump more then 2m=lousy technique+no guts to risk falling face flat ;D if u train, u surely can jump at least 240cm cos i got personal exp  sec1=168cm sbj at 5'10 65kg ;D sad rite |

Haha, I like your comments of "afraid of falling flat onto their face". While it may be true for the gals but I think guys are not so guniang right?
Anyway, I may have an explanation for your achievement and personal experiences. U (or your trainees) may process either Type II or IIb muscle fibers, and after hard training and technique, you improve almost 20% (from 2m to 2.4m?). This is alot. Lets say if some1 (someone who is not into sports) is the type I, endurance type, they may not be able to improve by so much, say only 10%. So there is a slight switch of Type I to type IIA. This is also considered an achievement. Technique is one thing but gentics plays a part too...
cheers

I fail to see how any part of the leg can possibly avoid being involved in leaping. Well, you could always try Googling for pictures of Olympic long-jumpers and see the size of their calves to confirm... ;D

Like i said before, what you will see are high calf insertions and long achiles tendons that are great for reactive strength. Thick tree trunk calf muscles are great for truck pulling but not so great for speed strength. |
