Do it with a med. …
Do it with a med. ball, thats how we do it. hold the med ball to your chest with both hands. its a great work out that way.
Won’t that hurt ur …
Won’t that hurt ur feet because im sure that in most sports u got to land on the toe part of ur leg so u dont lose ur control i know in parkour we do like that soccer and baskeball
your suposed to …
your suposed to land on the ball of your foot.
not good try …
not good try putting some weights on you and one knee down plus your hands up thats how fighters do
Im also flat footed …
Im also flat footed Id recommend you land more on the ball of your foot (away from your toe so you don’t sprain your ankle)
same we flat foot …
same we flat foot people suffer!
Those really, …
Those really, really hurt my feet, probably b/c I am flat footed.
would this help u …
would this help u jump higher lets say for basketball and wat else is it good for ?? and would u recommend this to 14 year old to do this?? hit me bak ASAP thanks guys
and when u go down from the jump do u down slowly or hard? if u get wat i mean HIT ME BAK PLZ thanks
U are exactly …
U are exactly correct. U want to be as quick as possible to work with ur natural muscle contraction that is caused by muscle stretch. U want to combine that reflex with a concentric (voluntary) muscle contraction as fast as possible to fully maximize the explosiveness
Im pretty sure …
Im pretty sure dynamic stretching after warming up is helpful. Could be wrong
nice vertical and …
nice vertical and great exercise…..the only thing i would do differently is try to keep the arms closer to the body when you swing them up.
apprantly jump rope …
apprantly jump rope makes you jump higher not alot by about 1-2 inches how many a day should i do for this to be effective
correct!!!
correct!!!
I would say that is …
I would say that is untrue because by absorbing the the shock you are already rdy to push for another one so your muscle with extend alot more and you will be able to get a higher reach of contraction and stretch… + you dont hurt yourself
I just run threw …
I just run threw peoples back yards. Most days it’s an easy workout…beagles and terriers, but some days you’ll get a doberman or pit bull and you certainly feel it the next morning.
to jump higher, …
to jump higher, jump as high as you can without bending you knees with repititions of 100 and four sets. also calf raises for calf. and when you jump, try thrusting yourself faster using your calf and achillies tendon only with minimal knee bent and minimal pressure on the quads. the idea is like a rubber band. there is enough stored elastic energy right there in your achillies tendon( the bridge between your ankle and calf) to resist thousand pounds of force!!!!!!
to slow to be …
to slow to be plytometric he is landing flat footed and taking forever. thats gonna train more raw explosiveness because it takes out the elastic action of the tendons since he is landing on his heels
The muscles in your …
The muscles in your legs will dampen the impact from spreading, but your joints will take the most of it. Not worth it.
doesnt agrre about …
doesnt agrre about landing soft…performance doesnt mean health, the objective of plyometric jumps is to get off the floor as quick as you can, so you have to land and hit hard the ground…and its not an endurance exercise, its about explosion and you train that by doing max 10 reps with all performance ans technique you can…up to 10 reps you get tired and starts to fail on technique…remenber explosion is about strengh X speed…
cya
From my …
From my understanding the myostatic/stretch reflex is based on changing from eccentric contraction to concentric contraction as quickly as possible. He spent along time on the ground.
I can do a standing …
I can do a standing backflip without using my hands to tuck, but I cannot do 1,5times my bodyweight squats. Am I then too weak, though I have enough explosive power for plyometric power needing stuff? I suggest training carefully if you only want to do plyometrics, and landing smoothly is the most important thing. For the rest you’re right, I just dont agree with that squatting part :p
His landings are …
His landings are really bad and you will hurt yourself if you land like that during plyo training. Whenever I am teaching plyometrics I always tell my students to be cat like on their landings, which means to land through your toes and never land on a flat foot. Next time you see a cat jump pay close attention to it’s feet when it is landing. That how you should be landing when doing plyo training.
poor execution – …
poor execution – you want to stay as eract as possible in the air and extend the legs back to the ground after the peak, so you hit the ground in an almost-standing position, and cushion the landing with the balls of your feet and knees.
Plyometrics? I …
Plyometrics? I don’t think so. This is a good body-weight exercise, that’s it. Plyometrics are supposed to set of a myotatic stretch reflex. reflexes are involuntary contractions. There was nothing involuntary about this. this was done under complete voluntary control.
the exercise will do as he says, but this is not plyometrics. Not many “plyometric” exercise fit the definition. Not sure if there is such a thing as “plyometrics”. Better to call them body weight exercises.
if u want to do …
if u want to do plyos wear 5lb. ankle weights and do low reps, bc it aint endurance its all about being quick and explosive like a sprinter, not a distance runner.
