PUSH vs Tendo Unit Initial Analysis
First day working with the @trainwithpush device at all. Jumping right into it... LOL... Measured counter-movement jump w/ hands on hips on just jump with the PUSH device on and got 25.0" from the Just Jump and 24.6" from PUSH. Two things are 1-the PUSH device acknowledges that using the waistband will be more accurate. I have it and will use it in the future. 2-I have told people for years that teaching the use of more stiffness on landings with the just jump mat will skew the height upward because it is measuring your air-time. So you can land at a deeper knee angle but it looks like you came into the ground normally because you are stopping harder and faster. From there I did eccentric barbell drop jumps which is a movement I cannot currently measure with any device I have except timing the eccentric contraction for its relationship to normal jumping speeds (which I already do). So measured sport back squat next (half squats... lol) and I will just report variation between the PUSH and the Tendo rep by rep from here (for 3x2 @ 140K paired with seated vertical jumps): Push:Tendo .40:.49, .40:.44, .44:.50, .41:.50, .40:.48, .40:.49. So overall the Tendo measured 17% faster rep speeds on average power for an average rep of .48 meters/second versus PUSH at .41 meters/second. More on this to come soon! #SportScience
