Toes are better for when you are strictly moving up and down. But when doing a drill where you are moving forward as well as vertically, you want to land flat footed as your forward momentum will naturally move you smoothly onto your toes after the initial flat footed contact for a softer landing.
Excellent jump training routine! I am going to borrow a few of these to add to my workout. I took a few months off but I am motivated to add a few more inches to my vertical. These exercises should help tremendously.
as a high jumper i'm having more problems with back strength(as well as flexibility) and speed lifting my leg over the bar. would also like to thank you for posting these vids.
thanks for sharing. is it really healthier to land on the flat of the foot? I thought it would be better to land on the toes, as it has more of a bouncing effect and thus less damage to the knees. no ?
Love it. So 2-3 times: I assume that is per drill one after the other (i.e. skip for height x 3 followed by skip for distance x 3, etc.)??? And over what distance? Looks like around 10 metres or thereabouts.
Just to clarify. When you run or jump, never land on your heels. No padding can ever save your joints from the stress it brings, only mask it. Mid foot is the way to go. It might look like he's coming down with his toes, but it's a mid foot strike. It saves your joints.
It is not very hard to add 10-25 ins vertical within 60 days if you have accurate nutrition plan and right workouts You can find out more here: help1.info/vertical-jump-training-plan
Arash, would this routine be safe to do while on a strength program like starting strength? If so, same question as others- how often and how many reps/sets?
Depends on what you are trying to accomplish my friend. There are several drills and exercise i've learned. First do you have access to a track and field like in the video? or a basketball court. or somewhere you can do sprinting drills on? This drill will help with power, to be fast off your feet like a sprinter off blocks. So a faster take off. So do these at like 2 or 3 times a weeks on as many sets as he recommends. I will get back to you on the other ones.
Funny, I was always taught heel-toe. That being said, awesome video idea, but I think these videos could be longer and teach more about the technique so we know exactly what we are doing when we go out there. And yeah how many times a week? Also how far are we doing these drills?
Hi i was just wondering, the video talks about landing dorsiflexed (on your heel) instead of plantar flexed, and how plantar-flexion gives you shin splints, may i ask how plantar flexion gives you shin splints when most of the impact is taken out through the muscles, where as dorsi flexion allows you to land solely on bone, pushing all the force through your bones and joints? (sorry if i am coming off as a smartass, i don't mean to) - I have always been taught to land plantar flexed (Parkour).
I'm 14 and I'm going into my sophomore year in high school. I was the top freshmen in my state and I cleared 6'5..... So I wanna improve my kick and height, any suggestions? Also how far are you doing these exercises?
"A great way to measure progress is by measuring your vertical leap before you start a plyometrics routine, and at the end of a routine when you should be peaking in your sport." What is the typical time period (if any) in the quote above?
I want to gain more speed and acceleration and as you mentioned faster take off, but the main thing is the speed becous for a LM I need faster running speed. I have football field and a track like in here so yes, I have place to do sprinting drills. I have heard that I should sprint 200m and then rest for about 1,3min and then sprint again for 10 times, would that increase the speed?
My experience when running was that I developed shin splints when I used a heel-toe type of running style. Once I learned to lean forward properly and land on the front third of my foot, the shin splints went away and I got much faster as well. Of course, that was distance running and not sprints or jumping.
Good job. I really like this vid. You know how there's a lot of jump higher exercise scams out there. This one is for real because it's from Nieto himself. Thanks
here's several suggestions for techniques for jumping higherDo Bulgarian split squatsPractice depth jumps- these are performed by stepping off a box, then exploding up immediately after landing on the groundFor basketball training start with a tennis ball, then move up to a softball, then a volleyball, then a youth-size basketball, then a standard one(I read these and why they work on Enyeto jump plan website )
its because its a beginner video, so many people normally havent built up the muscles around the shins, and so hes only preventing you from getting shin splints, just do some shin workouts on the side to build shin strength so you wont have that problem, but if you are well fit, and think you wont have that problem i think it wouldnt matter, im just assuming thats what he meant when saying to land flat footed, plus landing flat makes it harder to jump, causing more of a workout
My bad. For hills about 15 yards give or take. These are what I used when i played football and track and they helped me a great deal. Dont be afraid to adjust the drills so they work for you and your body type and what you're trying to accomplish. Even weight lifting will help. power-cleans especially. but not heavyweights like maybe 50% to 70% max.
i was wondering the same thing , but didnt you answer your own question, the most common shin splints are inflammation of the anterior tibialis, and not the bone right
You want to land on the balls of your feet then transition to flat, that is how I translate it. In Freerunning you land on the ball of your feet to absorb the pressure and cause less damage on the legs. He means not to remain on the toes. You must transition from landing on the balls of your feet, then flat to allow more surface area to push off of and also allows for more spring coming from flat foot stance. This is because you have the added strength of the ankle. Never land completely flat.
No man I agree with you 100% You're supposed to land on your toes. Landing on your feet creates more impact :s Plus did you see the way his knees buckle inward when he jumps?
If any more come to mind i'll let you know. I dont train for speed like i used to i mainly power lift now but i'm trying to gain my speed back. Let me know how you feel afterwards and best of luck.
Yes, I think we need to land on our toes. Whenever I'm barefooted and I jump from heights like 1,3 meters onto conrete I always land on my toes, otherwise something could bad could happen to my legs.
id think almost every day in my own preference, but change it up a bit, and look into other plyometric drills as well, like karaokes, A skips B skips and C skips and such, all to keep a fresh body
These drills will help with sprinting longer, faster, and quicker recovery time. You need about 15 yards to do sprints but you only sprinting for 10 yards at full speed every time. Take a few deeps breathes before taking a deep one and holding it. Then sprint your heart out for 10 yards while still holding your breathe. When you reach the other end and stop exhale then inhale deep but only one deep breath and do it again. add a breath every time. So one breath sprint, 2 breathes, sprint etc
It seems to me that landing on your heels will create a ton of pressure on your knees and hips. It might be OK when you are wearing heavily padded running shoes and exercising on a cork track, but I can't imagine that this is good technique in a more natural environment.
That is very true, that does answer my question, but wouldn't you say long term joint damage from impact dirrect to the bone is a little worse that shin splints as shin splints can be avoided by proper recovery (stretching, resting, massaging, compression). Where as the only real solution to joint damage is surgery and lots of rehab. this seems very silly to me and it seems the video is only looking at the short term.
Wow! I was taught from the childhood to land on my toes and silent like a cat and that should prevent knee injuries but this video shows that its completely opposite. :O I dont know what to say... my mind just blew up... school is inside job...
Jamie, you are an inspiration and you're also incredibly funny in this video somehow! Thanks so much!
This does helped me improved my jumping skills. Thanks a lot!

Great video man thanks for uploading. This guys technique is awesome.
Good job and great advice. Keep up the good work.
he looks and sounds like will Smith a little
Why? Cause he's black? #Racist
+Billy Currie no u think #racist nigga I'm black to
Kool isn’t lying and he’s not racist
Excellent jump training routine! I am going to borrow a few of these to add to my workout. I took a few months off but I am motivated to add a few more inches to my vertical. These exercises should help tremendously.

Great thanks for this!
(Hee do you know any good drills for marine training?)

Gonna try these out once summer hits
Because this is a beginner video... DAMNIT!
this guys a legend

Good stuff!
What are you doing here Lucas?
How much rest do you need between exercises? And how many sets/reps and how often per week? Thanks.
Thank you so much!
Great video
Good Movies! Thank you.

more of this please Arash!!
by the way good job on those vids with CT!
DAMMIT!!! 1:45
where was this video 5 years ago when i needed it? lol

+1 for beginner videos.

Nice vedio it is more useful
Hows the training going? have you made a lot of improvement? Hope my tips help. Keep me posted brotha...
Thanks alot ;)
Thats coming up next :)
would that also help improving running speed?
when you are releasing episode 2?

damn this is my coach! That's a trip he's at the Olympic training center
Good job. I really like this vid. You know how there's a lot of jump higher exercise scams out there. This one is for real because it's from Nieto himself. Thanks
is it ok to do this on a concrete surface? and what shoes are recommended?
What kind of shoes would be recommended for this? Any help?
Can u do one for sprintinh both for the curve and straight?
Jaime, in what location did you shoot this video?
will that help for back and front flip
Where is this filmed, AZ?
Nice exercises) You remind me a Hancock Jamie)

I wish this came out when I was running track. My coach never taught us proper technique and my knees are still paying for it D:
how many times a week do i need to do this to dunk?
Thnx

The car jump was awesome, and you useful if you are being chased.
question: is the ground important for that? could it be unhealthy to do this on concrete?
i was wondering the same thing , but didnt you answer your own question, the most common shin splints are inflammation of the anterior tibialis, and not the bone right
Thanks #archived
if you know any good exercise tell me becous I need to gain speed in football/soccer ;)
how many sets per exercise?
You want to land on the balls of your feet then transition to flat, that is how I translate it.

Nice im gonna jump high
this is so dope, ive always wanted to jump higher..he cleared a car! lol
Wonder what this guys doing now
well this help for volleyball?

how much set and reps should be done? :)
You said that this is for beginners, could you do a video for more advanced work.
hiya, my friend had some good gains with theSoaringBaller programme (just google it). Was pretty cool seeing his results...
YES
These drills will help with sprinting longer, faster, and quicker recovery time. You need about 15 yards to do sprints but you only sprinting for 10 yards at full speed every time.

Can you get an olympian long jumper to show up the technique of taking off ?
Yes, I have increased sprint speed. testing 100m time I did decrese the time by 2sec, thats nice.
Does this work
Why did you stop shooting vid's with CT? Whats the story on that?
cool
One shall not question an Olympic high jumper (:
It seems to me that landing on your heels will create a ton of pressure on your knees and hips. It might be OK when you are wearing heavily padded running shoes and exercising on a cork track, but I can't imagine that this is good technique in a more natural environment.

Awesome video, very helpful! :D
Also, is it just me or does he seem like Will Smith?
what shoe is he wearing
My shins!
How tall are you?
that my thought too
loosey goosey
Wow! I was taught from the childhood to land on my toes and silent like a cat and that should prevent knee injuries but this video shows that its completely opposite. :O I dont know what to say... my mind just blew up... school is inside job...
can you upload new videos?
