Week 4 · Session A · Landing Mechanics & Vertical Power

The session that earns you the rest of the block. Week 1 is landings and ankle stiffness only; jumps arrive in week 2 and depth jumps in week 3. Athletes get hurt in the landing, never in the jump.

This week

Week 4 of 4 — express. The lowest volume of the block, around 70 contacts, at the highest intent. Stop the set the moment height or distance drops.
