Credit to David Butler of Rice U. for that phrase, which came from Petrov.

Your jump looks deceiving...when you plant, your top arm is bent at the elbow, so it looks low and late, but as you've described to me, you're actively punching that top arm upwards on your last step and going elastic, it's just different timing, and that when you've hit that last step with your arm straight, you're too rigid and not dynamically applying upward pressure.
