Take a look at what his knee and tibia does after the plant. No forward movement AT ALL happening. If you look at how his body moves, that is a 100% posterior-chain driven jump.
Hey Joel, just found out your channel and let me say what a good job you've made in all your videos. Great variety of exercises! Anyways, I just wanted to know your take in the broad jump to increase vertical jump. My guess is that it's useful specially in the the 2 foot jump, but wanted to know your opinion. Also, if you find it useful, how many days per week should be done and how many sets/ reps per session. Thanks
Hi Goncalo, thanks for the comment. A two foot standing broad jump is a nice tool in increasing jumping ability. It is driven slightly more from the hip and arms than a standing vertical jump, so athletes weak in those points may find they can strengthen them. For plyometrics, a depth jump is the most specific plyometric you can get for improving vertical, however... there is more training transfer there.
Look at his legs. It would be 2,45 m at its maximum. Let us be realistic :) I definitely do not believe that it could be a +2,45 m jump (but I may be wrong).
Thx for the reply man. Keep up the excellent work!

What a legend

Joel Smith Also, the days per week and sets/reps per sessions are going to depend on what else is in your program.
Little to no deflection at takeoff, reactive strength at its finest.
Does he do it barefoot or am I blind?
niice. what do you think his vert would be?
about 45-47 i guess.
+Alex Lukin lol, it would be more than that...
Ode MC not really. everytime, everyone tries to exaggerate his vertical. i can believe only predrfat vertical test, or something like that.

2.50m in his near future :D
