If you're struggling to improve high jump flop technique, here's a easy session I do. It involves important queues, exercises and progressions that help me continue to jump semi-competently.
I also talk a little bit about what could be causing your flop to fail. Hope this helps. Happy jumping out there!
Shout-out to the reddit users King_of-the_world, not_brandon_24, cannedxbread & jurazzick, I kinda borrowed your videos.

Excellent breakdown. A big queue is also to be pointing straight into the pit, which is a byproduct of getting your back to the bar, which is related to the curve you run.

Arching the back is an illusion, IMHO. What you really want to do is push your hips “forward” when the body is horizontal. I learned a neat trick to help you “push” your hips. Point your toes outward like a ballerina as your hips clear the bar. It may feel like an awkward body position to release, but all you ave to do is straighten your feet and do a sit-up.

@thesharpercoder 11 месяцев назад

Try this simple test. Lie on the floor. Now turn your toes outward. What did your hips do?

Great stuff as always!! 🔥

@logansmith4063 Год назад

Bro that takeoff angle is something i absolutely need to incorporate more😂

@matehj Год назад

It's a game changer!

@lucianoyuan6197 11 месяцев назад

great video

@hunterrhodes137 Год назад

I can get my head back on flops, but my hips are another story. Maybe if I incorporate that "hump the air" thought process, it will help. Very useful video.

@matehj Год назад

It's all about finding the mental queue that works for you. Goodluck!

Please make a video on how to make your own high jump training program

@seealexrun7649 3 месяца назад

I have a good angle at take off and good in air mechanics, but I tend to drop the knee drive quickly and go straight onto my arch right after turning. Any tips for me?

I am getting better at highjump and the crazy part is we live in the same town!

@little.animals 10 месяцев назад

I don't know if it was the angle but the girl doing the 3 step approach looked like she was dropping her elbow into the bar.

@alexanderdamiano Месяц назад

lol that’s me 4:25. Kinda uncanny to see but I have improved so much since then.

@matehj Месяц назад

Sorry to have used you like this haha. Glad to see improvement!

@Franz_Beckenbauer13 Месяц назад

Hey i want to ask you which is better nike high jump elite or adizero high jump i saw your video ranking them but i love them 2 so can you tell me why the adizero is better than the nike hj elite?

@matehj Месяц назад

A wider shoe will be better than a thinner shoe because of force distribution when you hit the ground. So while the nike is more stable, noob friendly and better for people with wider feet, the adidas is thinner, higher and more aggressive. You will jump higher in the adidas, even if both fit the same.

@Franz_Beckenbauer13 Месяц назад

@@matehj oh thank you so much so the adidas has a better plate for jump and nike has better stabilise in resume nike is like for comfort and adidas for results

What would your work outs look like if you didn’t have access to a mat and bar for a month

@matehj Год назад

In the road to 7 foot video I didn't have access for a month XD. Similar to that, but if it's closer to comp, it would look kinda like sprinting/hurdles day, plyo+ weights day and a long jump/hoop touch day + weights. That's a very broad outline. If I don't got a matt the first thing I go to is long jumping and holm hurdle. Very similar stimulus, technique work would go out the window for sure tho.

@axelwhopper 4 месяца назад

My little brother is 12 and he can get 1.40 consistently just as a guess what do u think he could get when he’s 15 cuz me and him both do high jump

@sturfryd4983 Год назад

whats your favorite drill/exercise to increase single leg hops

@matehj Год назад

Easy, high jumping! But if you don't got a set around then it would be hoop touches or holm hurdle hops. Tryna be quick with the last 3 steps.

@EricSmith9000 3 месяца назад

I guarantee you that two foot vertical is correlated with high jump.

@prakashtalpada31 Месяц назад

Jump With Two foot valid or not ?????

@matehj Месяц назад

not valid sorry

@prestonking5281 4 месяца назад

I heard you mention the high jump reddit and thought "hey I'm in the high jump reddit..." then saw a video of my own jump lol. Totally fine with it unless I could sue you and win a bunch of money... in that case then I'm very very angry.

@matehj 4 месяца назад

Hahahah. Even if you could sue, you wouldn't get money out of a broke homie haha.

@prestonking5281 4 месяца назад

AHHHAHAHA @@matehj all jokes aside though, I'm the second video, and that was my form at the time, but now it's gotten much better. Except, it goes back to that when I'm attempting a PR because I don't trust my form to get me over, and I have a bit of a mental block there. Do you have any tips to have consistent form through all heights and get over this mental block?

@matehj 4 месяца назад

@@prestonking5281 You should ask the question of why you dont trust that form, does better form actually make you jump higher? It not, you should try to find out why. I started being able to get my shoulders back, rather than sitting over the bar initially because my runup became more refined and i rotated over the bar more, meaning i actually jumped higher with an 'arch'. I hope that makes sense. its not an easy one to solve!
