I was curious to know whether anyone knew of any exercises that were good
for building muscle for jumping events (triple jump, long jump, and high
jump.) Are there any exercises that I should avoid? You can email me at

That is the point exactly. This is why the term "farm system" is in quotes.
It is not a farm system and there is no equavalent club system and thus, the
athletes do not develop fully as in other countries where the coaching is

The site could be wrong as it also lists Morceli, Komen and Tergat as
