you would plant you strongest foot or the most powerful foot in front to push off. you can bend your knee as far as you like but you want to work on not bending your leg more than 1/4 down because it effects the speed at which you jump.

there are a couple ways, use the leg which is the same side as the arm you write. use the foot you use first while sprinting. or stand still and have someone in back of you push you forward whichever foot moves first is your better foot this usually works.

i think in vjb it says u do a minijump stop so u get more out of your horizontal momentum or something

just do what u do 4 a layup. im right handed and i kick a ball with my right foot but becoz i play bball in my layups i run and jump off my left leg and shoot with my right arm so im stronger in my left leg at jumping. just work out what u do 4 layups and copy that.

Thats totally different. layups you do a 1 foot jump but since i am a bilateral jumper, my running vert needs to be bilateral and i cant seem to do it.
