Stand flat-footed. Reach up — mark that spot with tape.
Now jump from standstill and slap your highest point. Mark it.
The gap between the marks = your power. Everyone measures. Rematch next week!
Explosive power answers practice within days
That gap between your reach and your jump mark? It's pure explosive power — fast-twitch muscle fibres firing at once. And here's the good news: it's one of the fastest things fitness improves. Practice jumping for a few days and your mark genuinely climbs.
Write both numbers on the tape. Next Monday, jump again — beat yours by even 1cm. Your body is listening to what you practise; power answers fast.
