Will it cause me to jump worse in my high jump if i jump off my right foot on a left footed approach ?

i've jumped like this for a while and it's a habit , i can jump 1.70 meters this way already though , with very little training ,shud i stick with the wat i am?|||no you shouldnt, the force behind you will push your body into the bar.|||You can not jump high if you are taking off from the foot closest to the bar.


I assume this is what you mean by a left foot approach and jumping off the right foot.


Your center of gravity is behind the foot, and as your height increases you will not be able to get the lift or convert your speed into height. You need to change your approach so you can jump off the foot away from the bar if you expect to jump much higher.
