it will be usefull a reference abou set and rept.

First of all, this is a clean and press / deadlift to OH press and secondly... you would screw up your back doing so many pathetic variations specially with your back not arched.... So good luck to the moron who tries this....

[mikano1]

@sachitahuja Actually a staggered stance is better for your back. Notice his knees are always bent. As long as your not locking your knees while pressing you'll be fine. NBA players do theses because it simulates movement. Check out derrick rose. Doing this just once a week will make you explosive and quicker. (The pigeon toe thing I'm NOT so sure about tho...lol.)

same question. how many reps and sets per exercise?

[adhiki]

Great series--maybe try putting your hands on an elevated surface for the push up matrix--go higher until your form improves before working on the floor level--just a thought

How many reps and sets for each exercise?

[rusportsperformance]

To answer a few questions:

1) Yes, typically 1 "rep" of each exercise would be the matrix in all three planes of motion on each foot. Complete ~5 reps

2) Definitely not too much pressure on the elbows with proper sequencing/form

3) With the exception of the more explosive lifts, you can do these year-round. I would limit the explosive lifts during early off-season

And yes - great stuff!

Doesnt these drills put to much pressure on elbows?

[ballahollic44]

what part of the season is this used? In-season?

Question: Is each sequence of exercise/matrirx done one of the other?
