The Standing long jump, also called the Broad Jump, is a common and easy to administer test of explosive leg power.
How to do Standing Broad Jump:
- Stand tall with chest up, abs and butt on
- Look straight forward
- Initiate descent by pushing hips back and keeping your chest and eyes up
- Synchronize arm back swing with hip dip
- Make sure arms reach back to full extension as the hips hit peak tension in the dip
- Explode out of the hole and take off in hollow body position
- Allow the arms to lead the direction of the body
- Stick the landing in partial squat and arms above eye level
Note:
Work on finding the sweet spot on your broad jump.
Too little lean in the initial take off will not get you far and too much will lead you to a face plant.
