    3 Principles Summary
    ●Keep your fast-twitch muscle fibers
    Avoid High Rep and Low Sets in Weight Room
    ● Keep sustainable habits/ Minor Calorie Deficit - Same pace, same intensity on your consistent schedule. Cutting huge calories immediately will just backfire because the body needs fat for survival needs. Fast-twitch muscle fibers need carbohydrates.
    ●Relative Strength is King

    I want to emphasize that you have to be careful when doing much intense sport while being in a caloric deficit. I underestimated the risk of getting injured because I never injured myself before. I wanted to look good and shredded, meanwhile work 8 hours a day, getting a workout before and after workout (basketball or weightlifting) . I thought my limit was my determination and discipline and at the end....
    I tore my ankle ligament in a normal pickup game...
    This was 7 weeks ago and since then i can't do any sports..
    So my conclusion and essential tip for you guys:
    - focus on 1 or maximum 2 goals you want to accomplish and go after them with all you can
    - but know your limits and give your body enough rest!!! Listen to your body and don't make the same mistake as me

      @@tshiri8904 its really hard to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. If I was you I would just focus on working out (gaining muscles and vert) and maintaining calories. Your physique will look better even if you are not losing too many pounds and also you will see vertical gains. But its just a question what is important to you. If youre already satisfied with the amount of muscle you have, you should probably go on an diet and train vertical. Because of the fat reduction you will see even bigger vertical gains.

    Good video, Paul. Slow jogging for like 10-20min will not negatively shift muscle fibers. If an athlete cannot do a slow jog for 20min without stopping they are simply out of shape. Even explosive athletes need good cardiovascular function for general health purposes. I've found that my recovery from high intensity days improves when I am fitter by doing a small amount of cardio 3 times per week.

    What I do is start my calories high as possible, 1 plyo day, 1 speed and agility day and one leg day. My 2 upper body days are 3-6 reps heavy as I can do and each week I increase my weights and I keep my carbs extremely high and atleast my body weight in protein. Been going from 177 pounds naked and hopefully can get to 160 naked. Have increase my vertical from touching off vertical to grabbing and I've noticed every pound I lose of fat is +5 pounds on my weighted pullups and since I've been 168 pounds any pound I lose now makes a difference in my speed and vertical.

I'm 5"8(in shoes and can grab off rim and touch 10"6 off a drop step without activating my hamstring or glute, when I jump it feels more like a simple calf raise. So I'm working on that, going to take a while to re program my body.

      @abbyik7357 Před 3 lety +1

      Personally, from someone that tried to train athleticism and crossfit as cardio at the same time- DONT. Bodyweight HIIT workouts are wayyy better. Crossfit often has you moving weights (however light) while tired. That doesn't leave a lot of CNS in the tank for plyometrics.
      As a result, you just start bumming your plyos and don't progress in anything. Do a 20 min HIIT twice a week and some lower level cardio 3 times. This let's you recover enough for workouts focusing on athleticism while still getting cardio in

      @@CJAlonzo413 100%. Cross-fit doesn’t make much room for any fitness goals past conditioning. A body weight HIIT workout twice a week conditions you and let’s you focus on other fitness goals- strength, bodybuilding, skills, etc.
      Most CrossFit athletes that are built have backgrounds in powerlifting, weightlifting, bodybuilding, or armed services. Their strength numbers and builds aren’t not achievable for the average person through CrossFit training alone because it’s just too taxing. But, it’s still up to personal preference. Some people love CrossFit training- do what you love. If you don’t have an absolute affinity for either- do HIIT!

    And to build the needed condition you have to be able to run 30 min without a break on 85% of your maximum heart rate.
    All what he is talking about having a good work out system that combines getting lean and getting more explosive is really good.
    But to train for both for being explosive and playing high level basketball we have to do it in another way.

      3) speed or vert code(whichever you need more)

    Keep up the tremendous content you really have a way of relating to the common guy who is looking to take their talents the next level and make it extremely attainable
    I can 100% attest to everything he is saying here in this video as I believed getting to under 10% would automatically make me a more explosive athlete that can jump higher and move laterally at a much quicker rate and I found out the hard way the exact opposite happened. I neglected the fast twitch fibers and became much less athletic and the massive caloric deficits had my hormones all jacked up.
    Thanks again for the excellent content!
