Repeat Broad Jump
How to Do It
Perform a maximal broad jump, stick and control the landing, briefly reset the stance, then perform the next maximal broad jump — repeating for the prescribed number. Each jump is a fresh maximal effort with a controlled stuck landing rather than a continuous bounce. Drive the arms and project for distance each rep.
Why It Works
Emphasizes maximal force production on each individual jump (with a reset) rather than elastic chaining; the stuck landings train eccentric deceleration, while repeating maximal efforts builds repeat explosive horizontal power and landing control.
Hockey Transfer
Builds the maximal horizontal push-off power of explosive skating starts and the deceleration control to stick each landing; repeating maximal efforts trains producing powerful pushes repeatedly with control, as in repeated hard accelerations.
Coaching Cues
- "Max effort, stick it"
- "reset, then full power again"
- "drive the arms, project far"
Common Mistakes
Turning it continuous (losing the reset); not sticking the landing; fading effort across reps
Progression / Regression
more reps or add load
fewer reps or shorter jumps
