@chopz3

charlie i kno u kno your shit thats a fact but this exerise is extremly helpful when tying to get more explosive from the hips. That picture is from the world atlas of exercises for track and field. The first time i was tought this exersice was with mike miller at naz barbell.www.nazbar.com and then later i talked with louie and he said that that is almost the best exercie for increasing your vert he said do with weight but weight u can handle he has a guy who went to from standing jumping onto a 42 inch box to a 49 inch box cause of those and the guy can do 225 pds on those hip explosions i think i can do like 35lb thats some sick power right there well hope this helps…btw i like your forum alot great people on here.
thanx again

The exercise starts with the hips already extended, it is a hip flexor exercise. the hip flexors are not used in vertical jumps, in fact they are statically stretched before a vertical jump to increase performance.

was what i was thinking…

i just did a few and you really gotta concentrate on the arm swing…which is crucial in vertical jump…this may be a benefit
