          Can you elaborate what you mean?

          I would say plyometric routines.

          Mike posted his reply on another thread: straight leg landing under center of mass.

          You can develop it through a variety of means:
          -Plyometrics
          -Depth landings
          -Reactive strength weight lifting
          -High load (120%) fast eccentric weight lifting

          Thanks mike…. could you elaborate High Load 120% fast eccentric weight lifting.. sounds real tough.

          It's just as it sounds…load the bar with 120+% of max squat and try to control the resist the weight as it pushes you down. Due to the load you'll find the eccentric phase is quite short.
