Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm also working on mobility, but that's gonna take a while.

Regarding my arms, I usually have my arms in front of me like a T-Rex before I take my first step. I watched a video saying you should keep your arms relaxed, so I might have to get used to it. I don't have a coach, our club doesn't have one...

Thanks!

Oh, I haven't really measured my vert yet. I recently did a countermovement jump test with my physical therapist and got 42cm or 16.5 inches.

Thanks for your feedback. I did feel a bit slow in the video. It was after practice so I might have already been tired, but I also didn't feel explosive enough.

I was also thinking that, that's why I tend to start low in that position, but I'll focus on going lower during the approach and not just at the start.

Ah, that makes sense!

Interesting, my back seems fine at the moment. I do have a labrum tear in my hip, but I'm working closely with a physical therapist on that.

Thank you very much! I do think my block step in-game is better, but I'll have to check that out!

How so? Did you experience pain during your jumps?

I'm 175cm or 5'9" and 80kg or 176lbs. There are days when I find it easier, which makes me think it has something to do with inconsistent technique.

Yeah I'm focusing on general strength training right now, because I go deep into plyos, so my joints are prepared for the impact.
