I stumbled across this and thought you might enjoy it since you’re working on your vertical jump. These are the results from this year’s NBA combine, they use no-step vertical and a max vertical. The NBA’s definition of a no-step vertical is just down and up, they don’t allow a rock step or anything:

You can accomplish the same thing. The problem comes when you get really, really strong and are clipping 100+lbs to your waist. It’s not impossible, and it’s how I did it for years, but if you have training partners it makes life a little easier.

I.e. only doing the eccentric with a dip-belt and pullup bar?

I really like the idea behind the Eccentric Edge stuff, and can see it as a really useful tool. Is there an advantage to the pulldown machine I’m missing?

Depends on how we’re cycling training demands. I’m currently not using any negatives, but in the next 4 to 6 months I’ll be bringing them back into my routines.

Mark (blonde beast) does them weekly in addition to his westside-inspired powerlifting routine. Boss Mark does them with beast Mark because beast Mark is controlling the routines…make sense?

How often are you guys training with negatives like this?
