PLyometrics That Work!

rodsredrose Says:

Feb 22, 2012 - This isn't plyometric training. Ballistic, maybe. But certainly not plyometric. Contact time with the ground is way too high. 200ms or less = Plyometric. 200ms and above = Ballistic. The key principal being to reduce the amortization phase of the stretch-shortening cycle, which is the period between eccentric (lengthening) and concentric (shortening) contraction. Having said that, there are some great exercises demonstrated within this video, which would most certainly improve explosive power.

renmenw Says:

Feb 20, 2012 - the description of the vid says these are "basic and intermediate" but at 4:20-ish he says they are "really difficult" and start off with low impact, which these dont seem to be. seems like a contradiction and some caution is in order for anyone who hasnt done really basic plyometrics to get the joints and muscles ready for some of these higher impact exercises. yes or no?

renmenw Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - this is really great, I'm going to try this entire set. I've been doing some plyo leg routines, but this will take it to the next level. QUESTION: what is the proper form for landing? On balls, heels, or flat foot?

dmendoza231 Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - @Dluu22 how many you do or how many sets all depends on how much your body can handle, everyones different. you just have to try it and be careful not to overwork yourself
