I don't know what option i'd choose but the reason you get extra power from pushing on the ground is the same reason you can jump higher when you squat into the ground to "push off" for extra height.

Its like the difference of a standing in place vertical leap versus one where you are allowed one step and some squat before you jump.

So which option should i choose lol?

But that is the reason Homer says is not what is happening. Any flex in the knee adds additional muscles to "launch" you vertical or horizontal. Adding the thigh muscles would add power over just the calf muscle in jumping or pushing off. Homer and the choices Lynn gives (all sound good- right?) say it is something different.

So... looking up at Clint Eastwood, magnum pointing at me...."So tell me punk, do you feel lucky today?" Ahhh, number 5? No, 1? 2? ????
