  Weight-training exercises
  
  (Please dont give me that crap that muscle bulk will deprove your agility, come on i have even seen champion triatheletes/joggers doing weight training everyweek and it helped them)
  
  http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Quadriceps/BBSquat.html -Back squat
  
  http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstrings/BBGoodMorning.html -Barbell good mornings
  
  http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/GluteusMaximus/BBDeadlift.html -conventional deadlift
  
  Deadlifts and squats helped to build explosive strength and you need "explosiveness" during broad jump, actually olympic lift variations build explosive strength better.
  
  Plyometrics exercises:

  http://www.exrx.net/Plyometrics/HurdleJumps.html
  
  All this exercises require some "explosiveness" to perform

  for me, do away with the swings. just swing one time (means just pull your arms back) and jump. the diff for me is 10-20 cm.

  When jumping, look 45 degrees up in front den jump.
  Don't look down towards the target distance on ur map, bcos u will end up much shorter in actual distance.
  When you jump, try to keep both kneecaps close to your chest, so you will lift off..
  When swinging, jump when arms are swinging towards front not when they are swung back..

  Can actually try to use one of those trainers, shaped like er, I dunno what. Those things you put at your target to try to stimulate your mind to jump over those things and hence achieve a higher jumping distance.
  
  I tried those before, but it turned out to be such a mental block for me that I am not able to jump at all. It works for most though.
