Plyometrics are the primary method of increasing speed and power by athletes of all levels. When utilized properly the result can be unreal increases in vertical jump, punching power, speed and quickness. However, it's best to fully understand how plyometrics work and how to prepare the body to perform them. This video goes over this information to help prepare the plyometric beginner and to help those with experience better understand the adaptations they are creating in their bodies.

@moversodyssey 10 ай бұрын

I change my routine around 3 times a year usually, just keeping certain elements the same. And recently it changed a lot because I'm recovering from a long medical issue. But in general my routines are a mixture of calisthenics, kettlebells, steel maces and martial arts with my warm ups being jump rope or shadow boxing. Sometimes I get a little bored and I'll do 6 months of olympic lifting or I'll add in sled workouts or landmine exercises, and in the summer I'll sometimes replace whole workouts with outdoor activities like kayaking. I'll have to put together some routines to show how to add all this stuff in a single program together. It's easy to do once you understand how to program primary movement patterns instead of individual exercises. I'll be sure to sure to post a video or blog article about it soon. Let me know if you have any specific questions in the mean time, I don't mind helping out.

They get programmed kinda like heavy lifting because they are intense on the body in a similar way. So usually with the more intense plyo's you just do them 2 times a week for 2-3 sets of 5-10 reps, and you only need maybe 2 heavy plyo exercises. For lighter plyo's like jump rope you can do them 3-5 times a week. Best of luck

They help thicken and strengthen the tendons, making them less likely to be injured, but they don't increase the tendons ability to elastic rebound. Slow reps and plyometrics make a good combination for this reason though. Isometric exercises have a similar effect to slow reps as well.

hi great video sir. i have only one leg. my artificial (titanium leg) is kinda bad and made only for PASSIVE movements (walking), and i have to make all the movement. You're wrong on the box jumps part sir, last summer when i was 96KG (i am 185 to 190 cm tall, dont know exactly), i did 700 box jumps daily as my first workout with only 1 min stops. i always finished em within 15 to 30 minutes, and after that i proceeded doing all my 6 other workouts, everyday, nonstop. for like 2 weeks, before i stopped working out. Sure they hurt like hell after doin so many day after day but then again, my shoes fucked up, got cuts and stuff and they're 10+ years old. P.S i did this workout non stop along with others throughout the entire workout with only 3-4 eggs every 3 days (to lose weight). Got 0 problems other than being kinda tired for 1 or 2 days after 3 or 4 days of workouts.

Russian fighters have used a plyometric row for a long time. You have to use light weight and it's usually rough on the body the first few times you do it, but it works great. Check them out at 0:37 into this video, you can see Fedor on the left hand side of the screen doing them. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/huBph7yAu6zOo6s.html Other than that, most the time athletes use ballistics for the back because it's easier. Doesn't build the starting strength like plyos but still works great at building power. Hope this helps.

@moversodyssey 8 ай бұрын

@@joekrisko374 You could but most people aren't strong enough to do it without high risk of injury, unless you make it less intense by standing at a taller angle when doing the rows, kinda like trx rows. You could start with tall bodyweight rows with a bar or gymnastic rings around chest height, then move them lower as your body becomes more adapted. I'd focus a lot on form at first, since the upper back is more complicated than the chest and many people don't engage the shoulder blades properly. But yea, if it's performed safely and properly it could be done.

The heavy plyometrics are for maximum power and starting strength. So they are great for things like increasing vertical jump or increasing punching power. The lighter plyometrics are great at building up connective tissue and can be done more often. They are great for things like agility, quickness, or explosive endurance or athletic skills.

Depends on the intensity of the plyometric your doing. For instance tall box jumps you would probably do something like 3 sets of 8 with a 1-2 minute break, much like heavy lifting. However lighter plyometrics like side to side bounding or even jump rope can be done for timed sets, such as 1 minute on and 1 minute off.

Can i mix it in my calesthenic routine like doing 3 days of that and three days of plyometrics? Or calisthenics for one week and plyo the other week

@moversodyssey 4 ай бұрын

It's pretty common to do it 2 days a week and to place it just after your warm ups and before your other calisthenic exercises. You do it before your other exercises because it's high intensity and doing it while your muscles are already tired out can often lead to injury. Years ago I had a calisthenics leg day, core day, and upper body day and I would do upper body plyos on leg day and lower body plyos on upper body day and core day I added in some of the more intense mobility drills I needed to fit in. But this way I got a second day of upper body and lower body stimulation each week. There are many ways you can do it though, I just wouldn't do them more than 3 days a week for any reason unless it's light plyos like jump rope. They do take a few days to recover from.

The "box" jumps you're talking about are called "Depth jumps." Box jumps refer to jumping onto a box. Depth jumps are typically done on something like a chair (which is how I trained it 18 years ago) or any solid surface about a couple feet or lower off the ground (I did them on a bench last year). It was part of my dunk training and I think I did them 3 times a week when I was 16/17 years old back in 2005/2006. Great video either way I just wanted to make that one correction. Edit: I was on the last min of the video when I wrote that comment but you did mention depth jumps as basically jumping off a box (or chair) and not rebounding off the ground. I've personally never heard that called a depth jump as you don't jump off the box or chair, you drop then jump as soon as you land. In other words you shouldn't be jumping onto the ground but rather doing a controlled drop/fall then jumping as soon as you land. This was something I first learned from Dunk Now in 2005 and I saw a video where depth jumps were done for sprint training and it was the same concept as what I learned and trained nearly 2 decades ago. As far the depth jumps you described, I've done those to work on landing for free running type training I used to do and I'd do it from twice the height of a true depth jump onto wood chips at a playground. All of these are great exercises for different reasons but I assume the terminology differs in some parts of the world. Are in the US?

@moversodyssey 7 ай бұрын

Yea, I'm in the U.S., but there are so many variations in terminology. Especially in sports exercise and alternative strength training methods. The video I did on the perfect hang was a little tough because you can find it online called the swan hang, the active arch hang, the crescent hang and the psuedo-front lever. I think over time, as these exercises become more popular you will see the names they are called become more standardized.

Hmmm, I've never seen it done but I'd imagine it could certainly be done. If I were to try applying plyometric principles to a bow I imagine I would get a bow with draw weight that was easy for me to handle. Then I would draw it back, then stop holding it back while still holding onto it so that it pulls your hand forward rapidly, and once it was almost at the end range of motion I would quickly yank it back in a rebounding type manner. It would have to be with something pretty light to begin with though, or maybe even do it with exercise bands. It would definitely increase the starting strength of your bow draw though.

@moversodyssey 6 ай бұрын

@@DaniG._.German Plyometric exercises involve a quick redirection of force, strengthening tendons and build explosive starting strength. So they help you explode into movement. Ballistic movements allow you to apply maximum force without having to slow the weight down, allowing you to develop explosive end range force generation. For instance if you push hard on an overhead press, you still have to slow the weight down near the top of the lift and stop the bar. But if you do a ballistic exercise like shot put, you keep maximally pushing through the entire movement and the weight becomes airborne. The pull up portion of muscle up is ballistic because it's an explosive attempt to launch your body above the bar, the only thing slowing your movement down is gravity. Hope this helps

Plyometrics is bullshit bcuz SPEED , POWER & EXPLOSIVENESS are not general factors of functional ability In other words, you cant transfer speed, power & explosiveness from activity to activity as it goes against the principles of motor learning. During mid 20th century, there was a psychologist by the name "Edwin A. Fleishman" who gave taxonomy on motor abilities & he said that "there is no such thing as *General motor ability* " which means you learn a skill in one situation & think that you apply to every other situation , this doesn't happen . According to this, if you wanna learn a skill then practice the skill specifically to the activity, this will improve neuromuscular efficiency, Motor control & coordination but only for that situation. For Example:- if u wanna learn sprinting then practice sprinting specifically in the exact same situation If you wanna learn soccer & learn skills like dribbling then it is better to practice in a football field with real players & dribble around them rather than dribbling around plastic cones bcuz training with plastic cones wont improve your performance when u are playing with real players It is as simple as that But the fitness industry has made it very complicated by selling you different kinds of programs for different fields, They have the minds of people with absolute bullshit & nothing more.

@moversodyssey 7 ай бұрын

This is true but not as strictly as your speaking. In my experience as long as the motor movement is vaguely similar there will be crossover and the closer you can get to the sport specific movement your trying to train, the better the carry over into sport. Years ago I started doing plyometric pushups for boxing and my punching power shot way up. A push up is not a punch but its similar enough for the chest and anterior deltoid that my new found upper body explosiveness transferred well. I've also increased my standing vertical by 6" in a few months of olympic lifts with no jump training in between. So it doesn't have to be exactly the same, but the closer the better.
