A common thread we get into with our members is controlling a movement pattern to optimize the result. We see this quite a bit with CMJ with the adoption of a hip hinge with a vertical vector movement. This can lead to an altered length tension relationship of the anterior chain and drop in force as the result. Where we can control this is during squatting patterns. This is why slant boards are so effective for cleaning up squatting - it puts the ankle in plantar flexed position allowing for ankle movement while descending down. This allows for better control of the pelvis and thorax. The ability to load the ankle into Dorsiflexion with split stance jumps, squats, or push press makes a huge difference in regards to vertical force. Limited Dorsiflexion leads to adopting a hip hinge position and loss of force vertically. Bottom line Creating range and control at that range gives the potential for improved performance.
