Thank you very much brotha! Appreciate you!

Anytime! Thanks for watching 😎

Did it help you?

@@TheBlazababa yeah bro helped heaps, also Norman Woods ollie tutorials

Thank you brotha! I greatly appreciate all the support!!

👊

lol thank you!! 🙏

Definitely! That is a great idea, thank you ☺️

Thank you brotha!

@vancouverbill Thanks for watching! You can implement plyos in a variety of ways. Using full periodized phases, in an undulating fashion (mixing intensities throughout the week), or simply add them to your current program at the start of workouts. All have shown to be good options. Based on your previous comment, it sounds like you train relatively heavy? (>70% of your 1 RM aka power lifting) If yes, I'd recommend using plyometrics as high velocity exercises. If implemented, you will be training a greater portion of the force-velocity curve. Potentially creating new power adaptations. Additionally, these high velocity movements are commonly experienced during skating. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for watching!

Indirectly yes. If your main priority is skating better, power lifting is not the ideal option. Power lifting mixed with plyos and corrective exercises will be more effective. 👊

​@@SkateAthleticswhat do you mean by corrective exercises? In the video you said a paper showed that squatting 1.5-2.5x body weight was necessary for plyrometrics, so power lifting should be good for that no?

In this context, corrective exercises are individualized exercises that are intended to correct specific imbalances and/or deficiencies. Example: banded clam shells for an individual who struggles with hip external rotation strength and stability. Yes power lifting will help, its just not optimal. The paper is essentially saying it is important to have foundation of strength in order to handle the high physical demands of plyometric exercises. However, if you are roughly around that strength range and already do some plyos (skating) then you are fine to start. The reason why I say power lifting is not optimal, is because 1) it focuses on low velocity high force exercises (not commonly experienced during skating) and 2) the physical demands it places on the body requires a great deal of recovery time. If skating is a priority, I'd recommend finding a program that still increases strength and power (over a greater portion of the force-velocity curve) but requires less recovery time so you can spend more time on the board. Hope this helps bro!

@@SkateAthletics wow yes that is really helpful, thanks so much. Really appreciate your very well considered content. It's great to see the science applied to skating 🙌

Haha spot on! Thanks for watching!
