Even better 21 times unreal. The site I have with stats only had him jumping 2.40m 20x but I have never will argue with Mr. Holm. Thanks for the correction.

According to Stefan Holm's home page, Sotomayor actually jumped 2.40 or higher 24 times in 21 competitions.

Hey penso. Just work through it. I remember last year when my son first began to take jumps he said his legs felt heavy and he did not have any rhythm at all. He had good pop, but he said he just felt a little weird. It took a couple of weeks before he began to feel like himself again.

Just focus on your technique work and your short approach, which is what I did with my son, and you will get the feel back pretty quickly. Remember the old saying "it's like riding a bike". You feel funny when you first get back on, but it does not take long to get back in the swing of it.

Did some technique work today. It was the first time I've jumped in a while, and it was almost like I was beginning to learn high jump again. My form was terrible - I let my hips drop too soon and I felt like I couldn't get "up".

It's probably due to the fact that I haven't jumped in so long so I need to rework some things over. At least my knee felt alright doing several jumps

Jesse that is a great random fact about Javier. I mean 20 times indoors and outdoor over 2.40 and no one has done it since 2000. That is just ridiculous. I think we have only had a couple of jumpers from the US (Charles Austin and Hollis Conway) that have gone over 2.40 and that was in the 90's. Please correct me if I am wrong about that. But it makes you realize even more that it is going to take someone very special having and incredible day to get over that height once, let alone to do it multiple times in a career or a year.

I have high hopes for my son and if he can even have any attempts at 2.40 in his career, then I would say he has been very succesful................I really believe that you and Andra have the capability and I have a feeling that someone just might get that number in the next couple of years...............

Keep up the good work and hope to get a chance to meet you in person in the coming months...............

Haven't been doing much HJ specific stuff, more base training: sprints, lifts, plyos etc. Taking off last spring I wasn't sure how my body would respond, but I feel as though I'm in great shape and ready for a great season

I'm feeling really strong and in shape - more so than I've ever been. Been doing knee rehab and strength training, and the knee is getting better, but still a work in progress.

I just gotta take it one step at a time, and I know I'll be able to hit my goals

I wanted to get a discussion going about fall training and what you guys think are the most important focus of training this time of year. Personally, I gotta go with the weightroom and lots of plyos to get that base strength to last the year! What do you guys think?

Good luck to Shawn and may he have a smooth recovery. He will be in my prayers.

2007 = 30

2006 = 25

2005 = 23

2004 = 21

2003 = 24
