Description
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.
