          I was just focused on sprinting in my training 100-200m
          But today i was super setting deadlifts with broad jumps and I was jumping over 11feet easily. (Standing) Im not sure what my vertical is right now, but prior to my training it was around 36″. I know it is higher than that now.

          Im now curious at to how I would do in the long jump and triple jump now….with my 100m speed a shade under 11.0 what should i expect with “mediocre technique” lol

          Thanks

          Linford was running sub 9.9 with sick plyo ability when he jumped 6.80m in the long jump….

          Look a Josh on this site, he’s the second fastest white guy on here lol and he jump 6.xx in the Lj…

          It just isn’t that easy. It’s a very complex skill in itself…

          The best jumpers tend to have certain qualities but vertain qualities doesn’t alwaya mean you can jump far.

          I think standing long jump correlates better to 100m sprint than long jump.

          Long jump is better correlated to your reactiv index scor or 5 jump test.

          Shotput throwers are great at standing long jump but if they attempt a normal long jump they will properly not jump very far.

          I would bet both would be better correlated to the 5 jump test. I doubt most shotput throwers run a fast 100m, although Oldfields’ was very respectful for his size.

          James – did you go test yourself in the LJ?

          Haha just read this. ^_^

          And yeah, its more than just running your ass off. Unless you’ve got a good take off (which has nothing to do with standing jump #’s), speed just makes you get to your short mark quicker 😛

          I bet you can jump further now though Josh..

          Also, the good thing with you is you’ve won half the battle becuase you can run 10.5 m/s…so if you ever wanted to switch event, you’d never have to improve your speed and still have a chance to jump huge…
