Default Re: The integral role calfs play in jumping

Besides, walking that way can probably create alot of problems to your back and knees, the same way it does for women who constantly wear high heels..

I don't believe that walking on his toes was the reason this guy can jump so high, and it is my right to believe that way.


Calves play a REALLY small part of action in a jump, even if you had extraterrestrialistic strong calves, it wouldn't necessarily make you jump 44 inches in the air if you didn't have good quads...If that story is true, that guy probably just had good genetics to start with..
