Yesterday I thought I would do some squat-jumps for starting block practice. Is this a good exercise? I only did 3 x 10 but today my legs feel like jelly. What other land exercises can anyone reccommend to better that reaction time and lengthen that distance off the blocks?

Quite, or falling up the stairs...my friend broke her arm that way! :confused:
I thought about this soime more yesterday and realised that the start is the only part of the race that has nothing to do with swimming at all.
Perhaps we would benefit from doing the same exercises that track athletes do to practice starts.
