Programs been fire though even though im butchering it, granted post injury and leg muscles were basically atrophied because of how lazy ive been during covid
Pjf performance is hella legit tho, completely butchered the program (cuz of time constraints) and kind of cut down on alot of the mobility work/strengthening work
2 weeks in
Max standing vert went from 22 inches to 27 inches
Max running vert, both single leg and doible leg were at around 24 inches and now theyre at 31
More importantly, surgury leg went from 15-18 inches to 27
And skipping the weight training (mostly cuz bodyweight stuff sucks lol) was prolly a bad call, i realized how much my posterior chained weakened when i did light sprints and couldnt walk afterwards for 2 days
Pretty sure i can get 3-4 more inches off my running vert through just form tweaks, because of how long its been since ive jumped, and gettin dat zion butt. My actual strenfth is pathetically low (can barely squat half my bodyweifht) so the gap between my standing vert and running vert should be pretty substantial, but im pretty happy with the results
Prolly gonna rehab this week, some isometrics and low level pylos to help the tendon too
what are some things you're doing to increase your vert?
Pylos and RFD stuff
Theres alot of oscillatory work/mobility stuff in the program ive skipped over, and i skipped over strength stuff as well, so im happy with a 7 inch increase in 3 weeks for sure.
The "elite" version has weights and stuff and alot of equipment stuff
Id say because its more intent on producing reXtive athleticism vs pure strength, youd see a bigger increase in ur max vert vs standing, so I feel the gap betweeb my running vert vs standing vert should have increased
Theres alot of injury prevention exercises too that helped with my knee, i got jumpers knee from jumping outside of the program too much
Im gonna test my vert a week from now ish to see where its at. The only thing abt the program is because its not tailor made, and because the bodyweight program is less strength oriented, if you have weakpoints in areas in doesnt hit i feel it wont help those weakpoints, although i skip alot so who knows
If i has to say things, id say just regular pylos like power skips/bounding, some RFD stuff there too, some stiff hops, and that would be fine
For me because i was out of action so long the RFD stuff def helps me more but because my depth jumps gone up a bunch (in the gap between that vs standing) id assume my running double leg and single leg max vert should be in the mid 30s once i get my form right
