Ian Legrow Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 slightly confused on these. I have heard you step off an elevated surface and when you hit the ground, absorb the impact. I haev also heard that as soon as you tough the ground from stepping off, leap as high as you can. I have also hear dboth of those are wrong....so what is a depth jump exactly?

Cole Dano Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 For our purposes it's jump off and stick the landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Griffin Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 For our purposes it's jump off and stick the landing.Does this mean locked legs, or "loose" to absorb the impact? I've heard both in this forum, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 You have to absorb the landing, knees bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You double foot jump off, absorb the landing (knees not going over feet) then quickly reverse the downward energy to 'spring' back up vertical. You dont want to go near them unless you have done plyometric strenthening program before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
