What’s going on OTA Gang,

Hope you’re having a great Tuesday. I just finished recording a good chunk of the new videos that you’ll be receiving when you order your copy of The Flight System.

I’m super excited for this program to go live in a few weeks.

It’s been years in the making and it’s time for me to help you guys become even more badass of an athlete.

Today I wanted to show you guys #9 of the Top 10 Vertical Drills Series I just started on my youtube channel.

Update: I have a free Advanced Vertical Jump Series. Learn how to start increasing your vertical

#9 – Low Squat Jump to Explosion

The first time I came across this exercise was from Adam Archuleta’s strength coach. This guy was the real deal and greatly impacted my athleticism when I was digesting his information on training athletes.

He played Safety as a walkon for Arizona State, and later became a 1st round pick for the sole reason of having posted one of the best combines ever. His performance was so crazy that some claim that they clocked him at sub 4.2 seconds on his 40 yard dash.

Anyways, the reason the low squat foot jump is a staple in my tool box is because it puts the posterior chain (glutes and hamstrings) on stretch and then calls upon them to absorb force by simply performing mini hops through the ankles and feet.

After the athlete performs a few mini hops I typically want them to generate as much force as possible by propelling themselves in the air and sticking the landing in a 90 degree position absorbing even more force.

Anytime I have an athlete absorb force I am teaching them to absorb energy that they can later use to produce a higher vertical.

That simple fact is the reason why Low Squat Jumps to Explosion is #9 on my Top 10 list of best Vertical Jump exercises.

Hope you guys are enjoying the Vertical Jump series. And don’t forget to sign up for my early birds list for The Flight System.

Holler,
