Yet another jumping topic.

[Archie L]

Hey all, I was just wondering- Does anyone else's knees bend foward when they "Push with their heels" ?
It seems that no matter how hard I try, whenever I push off with my heels, it just sends me flying fowards into a hyperstack.

Also, I'm getting my pro-jumps soon (ordered them yesterday) And wondered:
On my current powerisers (3-4 years old) I cannot seem to get anymore than 2 feet or so of hight, no matter how hard I push, but my springs do bend a lot. (The hoof is about 15 cm from the support bar) And just wondered if it's just my springs that are basically dead, or it's me.

The fact your hyperextending your knees whilst jumping is not good. Try adjusting the angle of your footplate, see if that makes a difference.

How heavy are you and what weight range are your springs?

I weigh 69kg, bocks are 70's. I've adjusted my footplate, so the toes are pointing up very slightly, but I just can't put my weight on my heels
