Toes are better for when you are strictly moving up and down. But when doing a drill where you are moving forward as well as vertically, you want to land flat footed as your forward momentum will naturally move you smoothly onto your toes after the initial flat footed contact for a softer landing.
Excellent jump training routine! I am going to borrow a few of these to add to my workout. I took a few months off but I am motivated to add a few more inches to my vertical. These exercises should help tremendously.
Just to clarify. When you run or jump, never land on your heels. No padding can ever save your joints from the stress it brings, only mask it. Mid foot is the way to go. It might look like he's coming down with his toes, but it's a mid foot strike. It saves your joints.
as a high jumper i'm having more problems with back strength(as well as flexibility) and speed lifting my leg over the bar. would also like to thank you for posting these vids.
It is not very hard to add 10-25 ins vertical within 60 days if you have accurate nutrition plan and right workouts You can find out more here: help1.info/vertical-jump-training-plan
thanks for sharing. is it really healthier to land on the flat of the foot? I thought it would be better to land on the toes, as it has more of a bouncing effect and thus less damage to the knees. no ?
Good job. I really like this vid. You know how there's a lot of jump higher exercise scams out there. This one is for real because it's from Nieto himself. Thanks
Depends on what you are trying to accomplish my friend. There are several drills and exercise i've learned. First do you have access to a track and field like in the video? or a basketball court. or somewhere you can do sprinting drills on? This drill will help with power, to be fast off your feet like a sprinter off blocks. So a faster take off. So do these at like 2 or 3 times a weeks on as many sets as he recommends. I will get back to you on the other ones.
Love it. So 2-3 times: I assume that is per drill one after the other (i.e. skip for height x 3 followed by skip for distance x 3, etc.)??? And over what distance? Looks like around 10 metres or thereabouts.
You want to land on the balls of your feet then transition to flat, that is how I translate it. In Freerunning you land on the ball of your feet to absorb the pressure and cause less damage on the legs. He means not to remain on the toes. You must transition from landing on the balls of your feet, then flat to allow more surface area to push off of and also allows for more spring coming from flat foot stance. This is because you have the added strength of the ankle. Never land completely flat.
Funny, I was always taught heel-toe. That being said, awesome video idea, but I think these videos could be longer and teach more about the technique so we know exactly what we are doing when we go out there. And yeah how many times a week? Also how far are we doing these drills?
My experience when running was that I developed shin splints when I used a heel-toe type of running style. Once I learned to lean forward properly and land on the front third of my foot, the shin splints went away and I got much faster as well. Of course, that was distance running and not sprints or jumping.
here's several suggestions for techniques for jumping higherDo Bulgarian split squatsPractice depth jumps- these are performed by stepping off a box, then exploding up immediately after landing on the groundFor basketball training start with a tennis ball, then move up to a softball, then a volleyball, then a youth-size basketball, then a standard one(I read these and why they work on Enyeto jump plan website )
No man I agree with you 100% You're supposed to land on your toes. Landing on your feet creates more impact :s Plus did you see the way his knees buckle inward when he jumps?
its because its a beginner video, so many people normally havent built up the muscles around the shins, and so hes only preventing you from getting shin splints, just do some shin workouts on the side to build shin strength so you wont have that problem, but if you are well fit, and think you wont have that problem i think it wouldnt matter, im just assuming thats what he meant when saying to land flat footed, plus landing flat makes it harder to jump, causing more of a workout
Arash, would this routine be safe to do while on a strength program like starting strength? If so, same question as others- how often and how many reps/sets?
"A great way to measure progress is by measuring your vertical leap before you start a plyometrics routine, and at the end of a routine when you should be peaking in your sport." What is the typical time period (if any) in the quote above?
My bad. For hills about 15 yards give or take. These are what I used when i played football and track and they helped me a great deal. Dont be afraid to adjust the drills so they work for you and your body type and what you're trying to accomplish. Even weight lifting will help. power-cleans especially. but not heavyweights like maybe 50% to 70% max.
Hi i was just wondering, the video talks about landing dorsiflexed (on your heel) instead of plantar flexed, and how plantar-flexion gives you shin splints, may i ask how plantar flexion gives you shin splints when most of the impact is taken out through the muscles, where as dorsi flexion allows you to land solely on bone, pushing all the force through your bones and joints? (sorry if i am coming off as a smartass, i don't mean to) - I have always been taught to land plantar flexed (Parkour).
I want to gain more speed and acceleration and as you mentioned faster take off, but the main thing is the speed becous for a LM I need faster running speed. I have football field and a track like in here so yes, I have place to do sprinting drills. I have heard that I should sprint 200m and then rest for about 1,3min and then sprint again for 10 times, would that increase the speed?
id think almost every day in my own preference, but change it up a bit, and look into other plyometric drills as well, like karaokes, A skips B skips and C skips and such, all to keep a fresh body
I'm 14 and I'm going into my sophomore year in high school. I was the top freshmen in my state and I cleared 6'5..... So I wanna improve my kick and height, any suggestions? Also how far are you doing these exercises?
These drills will help with sprinting longer, faster, and quicker recovery time. You need about 15 yards to do sprints but you only sprinting for 10 yards at full speed every time. Take a few deeps breathes before taking a deep one and holding it. Then sprint your heart out for 10 yards while still holding your breathe. When you reach the other end and stop exhale then inhale deep but only one deep breath and do it again. add a breath every time. So one breath sprint, 2 breathes, sprint etc
You want to land on the balls of your feet then transition to flat, that is how I translate it. In Freerunning you land on the ball of your feet to absorb the pressure and cause less damage on the legs. He means not to remain on the toes. You must transition from landing on the balls of your feet, then flat to allow more surface area to push off of and also allows for more spring coming from flat foot stance. This is because you have the added strength of the ankle to add lift and impulse.
i was wondering the same thing , but didnt you answer your own question, the most common shin splints are inflammation of the anterior tibialis, and not the bone right
Yes, I think we need to land on our toes. Whenever I'm barefooted and I jump from heights like 1,3 meters onto conrete I always land on my toes, otherwise something could bad could happen to my legs.
Wow! I was taught from the childhood to land on my toes and silent like a cat and that should prevent knee injuries but this video shows that its completely opposite. :O I dont know what to say... my mind just blew up... school is inside job...
It seems to me that landing on your heels will create a ton of pressure on your knees and hips. It might be OK when you are wearing heavily padded running shoes and exercising on a cork track, but I can't imagine that this is good technique in a more natural environment.
Depends on the person, everyone is different on what they can demand of their body safely... try 3 times a week and see how that feels, if you feel comfortable do more, or less depending.... there is no fixed quota for exercise
We all know that from this video. The thing is - for those that practice freerunning/parkour, we've been taught that landing on the balls of the feet is the proper way to land. And in terms of landing, i tend to trust the traceurs
CT FLETCHER would say every day!!!! If you're eating right & getting enough sleep there is no such thing as overtraining!! of course listen to your body & know limitations if you're not as active start slow. -Stay strong, safe training, Regards!
If any more come to mind i'll let you know. I dont train for speed like i used to i mainly power lift now but i'm trying to gain my speed back. Let me know how you feel afterwards and best of luck.
This is a beginner video so the reason why he thinks you shouldnt land on your toes for now is because of shin splints, so what everyone can do are some types of shin workouts, there are most definitely muscles on the front part of your leg that not many people workout, and by making them stronger, you wont need to worry about shin splints :)
When you bring your toes closer to your shine or lift your ankle. Planter flexion is the opposite. He's likely saying that as he doesn't want anyone to land on their toes.
And i prefer doing 60m or 100m drills as appose to 200m if your trying to gain speed. Same concept 8 or 10 min with 1 to 3 minutes rest. Also hills are very important. As for how inclined about 70% or 80% incline as you would see on a treadmill. 9 to 12 minimum 3 times a week. as one of the last drills you would be doing. keep good form and high knees. it helps raise testosterone, power, speed, being explosive. Hills are my favorite.
Jamie, you are an inspiration and you're also incredibly funny in this video somehow! Thanks so much!
This does helped me improved my jumping skills. Thanks a lot!

Great video man thanks for uploading. This guys technique is awesome.
Good job and great advice. Keep up the good work.

he looks and sounds like will Smith a little
Why? Cause he's black? #Racist
+Billy Currie no u think #racist nigga I'm black to
Kool isn’t lying and he’s not racist
Thanks! It helped me a lot for my high jump.
Thank you very much. You've impress me for my jump program :).

Thank you so much!
Great video
Thats coming up next :)
Good Movies! Thank you.

DAMMIT!!! 1:45
where was this video 5 years ago when i needed it? lol
+1 for beginner videos.
this guy is great.
Great thanks for this!
(Hee do you know any good drills for marine training?)
thanks for sharing. is it really healthier to land on the flat of the foot? I thought it would be better to land on the toes, as it has more of a bouncing effect and thus less damage to the knees. no ?

The car jump was awesome, and you useful if you are being chased.
Awesome
How much rest do you need between exercises? And how many sets/reps and how often per week? Thanks.
he is going to be at the camp im going to in june cant wait
Love it. So 2-3 times: I assume that is per drill one after the other (i.e. skip for height x 3 followed by skip for distance x 3, etc.)??? And over what distance? Looks like around 10 metres or thereabouts.
HIGHER DAMNIT LETS GO
Nice vedio it is more useful
Thanks alot ;)
damn this is my coach! That's a trip he's at the Olympic training center

Nice exercises) You remind me a Hancock Jamie)
I wish this came out when I was running track. My coach never taught us proper technique and my knees are still paying for it D:

if you know any good exercise tell me becous I need to gain speed in football/soccer ;)
Any particular warm up or stretching routine, or just crack on with it?
Thnx
would that also help improving running speed?
Awesome video, very helpful! :D
Also, is it just me or does he seem like Will Smith?

will that help for back and front flip

Thanks #archived
this is so dope, ive always wanted to jump higher..he cleared a car! lol
Wonder what this guys doing now
Can u do one for sprintinh both for the curve and straight?
Nice im gonna jump high
Yes, I have increased sprint speed. testing 100m time I did decrese the time by 2sec, thats nice.
id think almost every day in my own preference, but change it up a bit, and look into other plyometric drills as well, like karaokes, A skips B skips and C skips and such, all to keep a fresh body
YES

Hows the training going? have you made a lot of improvement? Hope my tips help. Keep me posted brotha...
that my thought too
i was wondering the same thing , but didnt you answer your own question, the most common shin splints are inflammation of the anterior tibialis, and not the bone right
What kind of shoes would be recommended for this? Any help?
when you are releasing episode 2?
how many times a week do i need to do this to dunk?
One shall not question an Olympic high jumper (:
Yes, I think we need to land on our toes. Whenever I'm barefooted and I jump from heights like 1,3 meters onto conrete I always land on my toes, otherwise something could bad could happen to my legs.
is it ok to do this on a concrete surface? and what shoes are recommended?
Wow! I was taught from the childhood to land on my toes and silent like a cat and that should prevent knee injuries but this video shows that its completely opposite. :O I dont know what to say... my mind just blew up... school is inside job...
hiya, my friend had some good gains with theSoaringBaller programme (just google it). Was pretty cool seeing his results...
It seems to me that landing on your heels will create a ton of pressure on your knees and hips. It might be OK when you are wearing heavily padded running shoes and exercising on a cork track, but I can't imagine that this is good technique in a more natural environment.

Make sure to stretch a lot as well
My shins!
well this help for volleyball?
Will Smith? Men in Black?
Yesss i thought i was the only one who thought that😂
how many sets per exercise?
We all know that from this video. The thing is - for those that practice freerunning/parkour, we've been taught that landing on the balls of the feet is the proper way to land. And in terms of landing, i tend to trust the traceurs

cool
To boost your vertical jump, you must understand right principles, right practices & methods with the correct eating plan
Have a look at here for more info:

question: is the ground important for that? could it be unhealthy to do this on concrete?

Does this work
@Lynwe I agree with you but this guy is an olympic athlete, im sure his coaches and him would know 100% what the correct way to land is.
Can you get an olympian long jumper to show up the technique of taking off ?
