This week we "stick" with the Standing
Long/Broad Jump.
We at Bulletproofbodies love this test of TRUE
HORIZONTAL POWER from point A to point B.
All that matters is how far you can jump.
Now that this has become an Army Fitness Test
it's time to get good at this.
However,
Can you stick the landing?
Do you need MORE absolute strength?
Do you need increased rate of force development?
Or
Is it your technique?
At Bulletproofbodies we recommend 3 dynamic
mobility exercises:
Mobilise in
the Lunge position to stretch Hip Flexors
The BootStrapper Squat with a light Kettlebell
McKenzie Press Up to stretch the abdominals
Your SECOND Jump will be YOUR BEST jump, so jack
your nervous system up first with an early first jump to prime your body for
the test.
Stance - feet hip width apart
Start with your arms above your head, then
forcefully Swing your arms down into shoulder extension, then drive them
forward as your torso extends and you reach "hang time."
Longer lever = More Power
Push your feet through the ground
Squeeze your glutes hard during hang time
It’s all about forceful hip extension!
45 degree angle from the belly button
Land in a deep squat position and stay stable.
Stick the landing and hold for 5 seconds.
