damn that looks high

 

[TTHopeful]

Impressive! Looks slim, but very explosive in his legs!

!!!!!! so impressive!

But seems a little bit dangerous for me cause of possible injuries...

 

[Mitz]

O_O'

Nice skills... I hope it will be usefull next days in Japan

 

[massa]

Somehow I'm not buying it... It just too high for that kind of jump

His legs are really long

Отскокът е добър. 1. Краката трябва да са дълги спрямо тялото и 2. мускулите трябва да са добре развити за голям отскок.

 

[Alborz]

What a jump! So impressive.

 

[M51]

Impressive, but ultimately pointless and borderline idiotic.

How beneficial is this for his game? I would be interested to know how close he did this to the WTTTC... he could have injured himself.

 

[mahomedy13]

very silly to do before a major event!Injury was easily achievable if calculations were slightly incorrect

 

[Pongfinity]

That looks impressive indeed.. Quite cool clip. But I agree with the others, that looked quite risky and shouldn't probably be done just before big competitions o.o

 

[Stanislas]

that's really impressive one.

Box jumps like these have been becoming more and more popular for gaining explosive power in the legs. If there is a question why that is beneficial for TT, look at the CNT and how big their legs are and how quick they can move. Also, there is no way this was his first time jumping thar high. He worked up to it from lower heights over months of incorporating this workout in a few times a week, and slowly increasing the final box height. I couldn't see a player risking his career over a stunt. All in all, impressive exhibition

Even if you build up to something like that,the room for injury is ever present.

I agree about the injury risk. I have seen TT players use the barriers much like Linford Christie practised plyometrics here:

All training, all sport has the risk of injury (and yes TT too). It just depends on how you handle the training.

The box jump actually does not only provide you the explosiveness training, but it also trains your mentality. You will find that you had to first overcome the mentality issue when the height of box is at least your waist level.

I think that the jump is quite impressive. To come up with different exercises nowadays is very hard.

Beast! Those 1 footed jumps are amazing.
