This is probably the most in depth and well described breakdown of the use of a block foot I’ve seen on youtube

Hunter Jones VLOGS thank you. We have done our best to lead the charge on jump technique world-wide.

i always think that i know everything about vertical jump, and then I watch one of your videos and I see how much I have to learn. Great breakdown

Beyond me how you only have so few subscribers on KZread with the quality content you put out. Guess most people are only on Instagram?

@Project Pure Athlete - This video is different than your others in that most of the time you recommend the out-toed version of the block step. Here you've given us 3 different versions and the context for each. So, I'm wondering if there is a problem with teaching all 3 variations to all jump-oriented athletes (volleyball/basketball/etc) with dedicated drills for each 3 variations?

Applying a linear block isn't as efficient as a block although it will do the job in certain situations. It's all very dependent upon the situation at hand, angle of approach and specific tendencies of the athlete.

@@jumpguyty Got it. So perhaps we only teach the "ideal" block step version and just tell the athletes that you wont always use this and that's ok. We're just teaching you the "ideal" one because it's the most efficient and if you get to choose during the moment you're more likely to default to this then. Is that fair?

Should my plant foot angle like my block foot

The problem is that I’m naturally hip dominant and I bend at the hip when I do a running jump and it’s messing me up cutting my power is 2 at best I can grab 9’8 at 5’6 which sucks because I have more potential. And the block foot is messing me up to Im trying to learn to turn my hips at an angle with the foot to. 🎉 :well I’m back to update : I had a friend explain me they’d steps in person since he knew about this and he could already grab rim. I finally was able to put my whole hand on a 10 feet backboard before I wasn’t able to know I can!. Technique makes a difference!

Wait so i kinda have the same problem its kinda impossible for me to turn my foot in, how did you do it?

Great,make more videos and mention volleyball

So should my block foot be parallel with my other foot like that? I see lots of guys on an angle

God bless

I keep trying to implement the block step in my approach but it only seems to hurt my vertical! (I have a natural 37 inches running vert) I know I really need to use it but why do I jump higher with my feet straight? Can someone help me?

Well, if you're jumping, you're using a block foot. The question is, are you using it efficiently or not. If you search my Impulse Block drill, it's a great way to start feeling it better!

@@jumpguyty I bought your 12-week program « the missing link »! What would be the minimal amount of gain in my vert after these 12 weeks? 1-2? Would be nice if it helps cause I’m planning on getting up to 45 inches! Naturally 37 and now I’m at 40 (with a bad technique like I have no speed and my block foot is not on an angle)

I was similar to this, I was left right despite being right handed. I recently changed to right left and while my vert has gone down, it's definitely better in the long run. Right now i'm probably 2 inches less than my left right, you just gotta keep practising.

I thought volleyball middles want their hips at an angle from the net. Hitting is a largely rotational motion, and you want your body to rotate towards the opposing court, not away from it.

@roguiscell4795

4 жыл бұрын

that is when your torso comes in, once you are in the air, what dicates the rotation is your torso and a bit of your core, that is why outside hitter face their entire torso to the setter, middles face their torso partially away from the net in the setter direction, and opposites face their torso directly to the net

@princekamoro3869

​@@roguiscell4795 The torso needs room to rotate right to left (assuming right-handedness), because that is crucial for generating power safely and efficiently. And it can only rotate so far to the right before you run out of range-of-motion. So hitters plant their FEET at the angles you mentioned, so that the torso has room to open up, close, and still be in position to hit to the right.

like-dislike ratio is insane
