KIRK VICKERS: This next motion is a fairly
dynamic movement. We're going to work on a
little technique so we can build into some
higher-end movements and higher-end motion
to create more explosive power and control.
What we're going to do here, you notice I've
got my foot on a box. My knee comes straight
over a good joint angle here. Both feet are
pointing straight ahead. What we're going
to work on is just driving through the hip
and the leg that's on the box. We're going
to try to minimize much bounce off the leg
that's on the ground. What we're going to
do is drive through slowly, drive up and come
down slowly. As we come down, I don't want
to be loaded in the knee. I want to try to
load back into the hip. So here, drive up,
extend the leg out, come down slowly with
the foot being straight on the ground. Push
back into the hip, extend up, come back down
slowly. Notice I'm not doing this when I come
down. I'm just dropping down. I slowly control
it, coming down slowly, coming off the ground
slowly. That puts a lot of load here. You
can actually see my leg tighten up as I try
to get on this. Slowly coming up and slowly
pushing back into the hip, dropping down.
