Vertical Jump Plyometrics » plyometrics

What do you call this equipment they use in plyometrics?

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 01:21:46 +0000

It is used in quickness training.
It’s like a strap on both ankles and there’s like a garter that pulls your ankles together.

It is NOT ankle weights. It isn’t weights at all.

I think you’re talking about the lateral steppers.

Should I wear running shoes or basketball shoes from plyometrics?

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:19:30 +0000

I’m starting my plyometric program today which will be a lot of side to side jumping and stuff. I’m wondering if i should wear basketball shoes or running shoes. My running shoes are lighter but i dont want to hurt my ankle, while my basketball shoes are heavy but they have good ankle support. My running shoes will probably make me go faster i just dont want to get hurt.

running shoes

If you workout for a couple years ofcouse your vertical would of been higher!

Is using a jump rope effective plyometrics?

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:22:38 +0000

i recently read that jump roping is a form of plyometrics and was wondering if this is true. If there is any way to make the jump roping more effective that would help to.

Yes, no doubt about it. The basic jump rope movement – which involves you remaining on your toes – is a true form of plyometrics.

Some variations that I do to bring more dynamic plyos to the exercise are as follows:

Regular jump rope for 3 minutes
30 seconds double jumps (spin rope twice), this makes you jump higher
Go back to regular jump rope for 2 minutes
30 seconds of high knee jumps (jump and bring your knees up to your chest) as you continue to jump rope
Regular jump rope for 1 minute
30 seconds of speed burst jumping – all out speed of spinning the rope and jumping. If you fail doing this, just start again and keep going.

After this you should have a solid sweat rolling. If not, then increase the time and intensity.

Good ups to ya!

Does mixing heavy squats with plyometrics bad when increasing my vertical jump?

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 02:16:36 +0000

One day i do plyometrics then the next day i go to the weight room and do squats and other machines

Just don’t over do it. You don’t want to end up with weak and painful knees.

Weight lifting is very helpful, though. It will increase your leg strength.

Should I add plyometrics to my workout routine?

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 03:17:35 +0000

I read somewhere that I should be squatting atleast 150% of my body weight before doing plyometrics, but I think I should start doing them now. Are there any suggestions or comments?

Because plyometrics do stress the muscles and tendons more than concentric exercises they must be added to a training program gradually to allow for proper adaptation.
