What would high calves have to do with it?

That's funny, 'cause that's what I said to myself - "Maybe higher calf = longer tendon?"
I guess I was somewhat accurate.
5'9" white guy, jumping 44"? That's crazy.
Something is weird about VJing though. 44" jump means 44" between standing reach and jumping reach, right?
Well, if that's the case, then you're getting 44" away from the ground to teach that high. But in those pictures, it sure as hell doesn't look like the soles of his shoes are at 3' 8" - are they?

Thursday 27th April - Cycle 3 Get Lean+Maintain Strength - Week 9 DELOAD - Day 3 - Upper 1 - Microcycle 7
good workout, nice, simple and short. Felt stronger in a while - puzzles me a bit too - crap sleep, day after sprints and low calories...
Bodyweight at gym - 202lbs
Workout time - 1 hour
Workout rating - 8/10
General warmup -
1) dynamic stretches and swings
2) bar complex with 30lbs - RDL +shrug onto toes, milutary press and hang clean
3) scapular pushups - on bench x 15, on floor x 15
Rotating Sets between each exercise
Resting 1min on warmups and 3 mins between each exercise on work sets
Chest Supported 45 degree T-Bar Rows - Overhand grip
warmups - 2 sec ISO hold at top on last rep of each set - Bar+25lbs x5, +45 x4, +70 x4, +90 x3, +115 x2,
controlled, 3sec ISO hold at the top
Rotation 1) Bar + 135lbs x 4 (+10lbs) --> hard strain on last rep
Rotation 2) Bar + 135lbs x 3 --> feeling hard
Felt much lighter on these this week, went up to 3 plates and got it. Will stay here until I get a few "comfortable" sets of 4 to build up a base. Then I'll go get me a new PR at a lighter bodyweight too!
Dip Shrugs
Warmups - lockout hold x 10sec + 4 reps, BW 3x4
3 sec ISO at top and bottom
Rotation 1) BW+10lbs x 9 (+5lbs)
Rotation 2) BW+10lbs x 7
lots of arm shaking....
Elbow On knee External rotation
warmups - 4kg x 10, 7kg 2x2
3 sec Hold at parallel - 30 secs rest between each arm
Rotation 1) 7kg x 7
Rotation 2) 7kg x 5
Hard strain on last rep of each set.
-----------------------
various static stretches for whole upper body and some lower body

in the running pic he is more like 47-48" off the ground - head is 3-4 inches off the rim. Do the sums - 10 feet ring = 120 inches - 69 (5'9") = 51 inches to touch head on rim!
Running up usually adds at least 3 inches onto the jump, some people get 6 + extra. Depending on their reactivity and jump mechanics.
It's just the camera angle as there is no shadow directly under where he jumped from, but if you trace from where the base of pole is down to where the ring is sticking forward, taking into account perspective, he is way up there.
Off course a video would be better and would show wether he is a reactive or strength type jumper
44 inch standing VJ is like in the top 1% of all the athletes in the world!
Apparently he is 24 and sprints for fun. Even with 11 feet 7 inch standing long jump he doesn't seem to be all that fast....
Probbaly "muscles" things because of his strength. 11'7" is damn impressive for a 5'9" guy, with shorter legs. World record is like over 12 feet by a thrower, but those guys are tall

Who the fuck is this guy?
CCJ, let's steal his genetics.
That's crazy if he can actually get the soles of his feet four feet high. It just seems unreal to leap and do that with legs straight.

Just some 24 y.o guy who competes in sprints for fun and posts on the Charlie Francis forum. He only runs a 7.05 sec 60m, which is slow for someone of that strength level and power. He doesn't even make the minimum time for Bobsledders yet he would blow the standards away in all the other tests!
Definitely muscles his sprinting or push runs.
quoting him
With his powerclean figure, he would only need a 585lb squat to get that, so he's not using all his strength in a movement that's still slower than a vertical jump. I have a feeling his VJ would still be the same with a 500lb squat.
it's all about big and strong glutes and hammies folks
I have one of each, I just need to get lean now....this guy is around 8-9% bodyfat

me too, lost quite a bit of strength in some things, but it will be easier to do when I get off this diet and back on maintenance, so I'm not sweating it right now

Better sleep, deeper 7.5 hours. Mild drained feeling. Achey feeling but no major DOMs.
weighed 89.7kg 197.34lbs straight out of bed in underwear
Bodyweight up a bit, but I do look leaner. I weigh the same now after a few meals and in shorts and t-shirt. So things looking good and progressing along steadily. Carbing up tommorrow
