    Thank you for this series so many online trainers get you halfway there than add in a bunch of words they don’t explain to get you to subscribe while you actually break it all down

    @MW-ud8zp Před 7 lety +11

    Just look at the elite sprinters. Their torso is planted on one height from the ground. It's their legs that hit the ground with EXACTLY the force needed to keep their bodies on the same height and the rest of the force is used for the drive. I agree 100% Essop.

      Maciek Waligorski but would plyo exercises like long jumps, jumps rope, and bounding, which follow the parallel of torso close to the ground, be effective? thanks

  • @leslie7872
    @leslie7872 Před 6 lety +4

    so everybody does plyometrics (box jumps) because they assume that if you can come off the ground quicker, you can run faster, but that's only half the story, you have to be able to bounce off the ground and come back down as soon as possible for sprinting.

  • @duncanthaw6858
    @duncanthaw6858 Před 7 lety +3

    Olympic weightlifting loads the eccentric portion too, in Jerks and in Squat/Clean (or Snatch, if you happen to be insane) bounce at the bottom.

    Competing against dogs in the ear scratching Olympics :)
    Yes, when I was in high school I saw basketball players doing depth jumps off a box. I would occasionally simulate that movement off my front porch steps. However, after 40 I find that plyometric work seems to lead to a high rate of injury. On the other hand I rarely get injured doing 60 to 200 meter sprint work (even though over 60 meters is more speed endurance rather than pure speed). Staying injury free is half the battle.

    • @HappySqrl
      @HappySqrl Před 7 lety +2

      I know little about this having only briefly studied it when I was in highschool (back in the late 1990s), but I remember the beginner jump progressions were from (something like) 1 foot high. The idea was that you were trying to load your muscles more than what was possible on a flat surface, not to produce a maximal load on your muscles and tendons. Much like everything crossfit does, their approach to plyo takes something that is health to an insane extreme that is likely to injure people.

  • @nsxperformance
    @nsxperformance Před 7 lety +13

    Nothing can ever match the ground contact times of sprinting. I think this is because good sprinting is largely reflexive. Always was baffled at the 2x bw pre-requisite before plyos can be done but young children worldwide jump on and off of things and are just fine

    Thanks.

  • @jonaslundstrom2011
    @jonaslundstrom2011 Před 7 lety +5

    Essop! When running, my left leg/foot is not traveling in a straight line when pendling. I am suspicious it has to do somewhat with imbalance in strength, one side compared with the other, but not yet found the final solution. Do you have any wisdom to share on the subject, I would love it in a video since that detail probably does a lot for the speed.

  • @ajpeanutx
    @ajpeanutx Před 7 lety +3

    I'm training for hammer throw but ive been thinking that ploymetric training will help with the turns

  • @kowboys1180
    @kowboys1180 Před 7 lety +3

    Essop, general question that I'm guessing many of your others viewers may be interested in. There are only so many days in the week, and often I have to choose between being fresher for a high intensity or high-speed sprint workout, and getting more recovery time afterwards before the next workout. If one had to choose between getting more recovery time from a preceding workout before doing a high intesity sprint workout, or more recovery time before the next workout, what do you think would be more beneficial in increasing one's ability to sprint faster? Is it better to be able to run faster in the workout so that your nervous system gets accustomed to that speed (i.e. more recovery PRECEDING the workout), or is it better to give the body more time to adjust and recover afterwards?
    Or is the right answer behind door number three - do both, and just get less workouts in overall?
    I realize this answer may differ for different people based on a variety of factors, but generally what are your thoughts?

  • @clarenceseedorf8084

  • @davidc4322
    @davidc4322 Před 7 lety +4

    Why is it essential to squat 2x your bodyweight in order to see the benefits of the plyos?

    • @splock_
      @splock_ Před 7 lety +4

      the 2x is just a rough number not gospel, but its because if you arent sufficiently strong you wont have the force production to get your contact time low enough to do the exercise properly.

    Hi~! This video is very useful for me
    because I have interested plyometric exercise for sprint and high jump
    However I am weak in english
    so it's very difficult to understand
    therefore Can you explain to most important section???
    (And When I do plyo reduce a remain time on the grond this mean I can faster right??)

  • @yenice3652
    @yenice3652 Před 7 lety +4

    But are depth jumps, standing long jumps, and others still effective for sprinters?

    • @nsxperformance
      @nsxperformance Před 7 lety +2

      Smoove drop jumps are effective if done sensibly (only drop from a height you can exceed upon rebound).. standing long jump is good for hip extension but I wouldn't put too much importance on it (Apparently Asafa or no MVP camp athlete has gone over 3m, Jonathan Edwards never jumped 3.20+ and is one of the most explosive jumpers ever)

    • @yenice3652
      @yenice3652 Před 7 lety

      Thanks man

    • @nsxperformance
      @nsxperformance Před 7 lety +1

      Smoove Emphasis should be on the ground contact like Essop said. As soon as you hit the ground you have to rebound as fast as possible. You should be preparing to rebound before you even hit the ground lool anticipate it

  • @taekonjudo
    @taekonjudo Před 7 lety +7

    I started plyo work about 6 months ago to help improve my judo, and honestly, it didn't do a great deal, the reason for this was because I was doing the height at any cost thing you show at the beginning of the video, what's the use in jumping 5 foot onto a box if it doesn't translate to functional explosive movement in judo? I do better with heavy walking lunges now than I ever did with plyo.

    • @AlexVinchenzo
      @AlexVinchenzo Před 7 lety +1

      for what purposes you did plyo in judo?

    • @taekonjudo
      @taekonjudo Před 7 lety

      AlexVinchenzo I wanted to train explosive movement, and everything I read said that plyo was great for it. Obviously this was in addition to strength training, but plyo didn't help me at all, or at least, not how I was training it. I think there is room for plyo in judo training, but not in the "height at any cost" training that I was doing.

    • @AlexVinchenzo
      @AlexVinchenzo Před 7 lety +2

      Robin Denton well, i may be wrong, but i think that oly lifting moves are better for your sport(beside sparing). Plyo is more usefull for track athletes( my opinion).

    • @taekonjudo
      @taekonjudo Před 7 lety +2

      AlexVinchenzo you're definitely right, the clean and jerk is a big part of my strength training, with the Snatch, I'm actually trying to increase.my shoulder mobility with it because it's on the weaker side, so I do it one armed with kettlebells right now. I am seeing improvement for sure.
