DeFranco's Secret to Athletic Success - 1) Jump 2) Sprint 3) Lift Heavy Sh*t!

[pabanil]

The author of 2nd comment whos in top are racist! And also those people who thumbs up.

[inoxx]

@pabanil pointing out that 90% of the athletes are black in a population that is is less than 15% black is not racism.

[BUK7550]

@inoxx

These guys are obviously not a random sample of "black people", but are football players, whom there are no shortage of in that particular sport.

Pointing it out may not be "racist" necessarily, but it seems like someone who is hyper aware and preoccupied with "blacks". It might be racism or it could be an amorous attraction. But don't try and act is if the comment is some scientific analysis based on any sort of rational or logic.

[ReallyBadService]

This is a gym I NEED to get into..

[turi420]

Thanx for sharing the golden info, JOE.

Greatings from Brazil.

[Yalashaska]

I'd say 1) lift heavy s#*t 2) jump 3) sprint

[Manuelcr7]

this is bullshit! Sorry you guys never will understand how to train for speed and quickness especially sprinting and jumping.

[danio94ns]

@Manuelcr7 how somebody who say that squats sucks can say anything on defranco. do you even know who is joe defranco?? please stop it because im sure that you dont know shit about resistance nervous system and strength...

[danio94ns]

@danio94ns hahaha an guy who believes in power of almighty plyometrics ahahaa.

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@danio94ns Are you seriously saying you don't believe in plyometrics????

Why do you think they are jumping you fucking tool???

[Manuelcr7]

@danio94ns but i know how to become a better athlet!

[richzwo]

@Manuelcr7 By all means, show us YOUR video where YOU train professional athletes to become faster and stronger....

[TheSK818]

@Manuelcr7 they see results..........so if not understanding means u still see results, then who gives a shit

[mrkmcd08]

whats he trap bar deadliftin at 1:32

[Eighttroy19]

@mrkmcd08 Looks like 495 plus I think 3 Chains a side is +120lbs at lockout, so the lockout would be 615.

[MrAce638]

hey joe ive been doing ur skinny bastard 3 program because i look to play competitive football again, maybe d 3 maybe a local minor league team not sure yet, i just graduated h.s., on tuesdays ive been doing the weighted reactive box jumps then going to deadlifts because i just wanted to add those in there, do u think i should do a lotta sets of deadlifts like here then do some or none rdl's,,,,, or should i do the reactive box jumps, like 3 sets of deadlifts and 3 sets of rdls?

[secondsunn4]

This is how humanity should have evolved. Not this horrible diet/lifestlye that we witness everyday in society. Much props to your gym and athletes for being so driven.

[Dmain1Event]

@secondsunn4

Not everybody is an athlete. These guys are. Don't hate on other skill sets

[secondsunn4]

@Dmain1Event Umm?! I stated "horrible diet/lifestyle..." Yeah they're extremely athletic but they also had the choice to not use those abilities then end up out of shape, lazy and fat. I think they chose otherwise. At the end of the day we're still flesh and blood and we should be in shape. No matter how advanced our technology gets, why would you want to limit your physical abilities? Don't you want people to be mobile n enjoy the world around them? I never said they had to reach this level.

[secondsunn4]

@Dmain1Event Did you read my comment? Is sitting on a couch and being a potato a skill set? I know everyone is good at their own special thing. I understand that. I'm complimenting this group on pushing themselves to be their best physical selves.

[2011hwalker]

@secondsunn4 You prick, youtube and the iphone wouldnt have been developed by fucking meatheads. The really awesome sector of the US is the scientists and nerds pushing forward society via technology. These guys cant do shit but lift and jump around like animals. Meanwhile in China kids are working hard on law and engineering, US kids wanted to bash each others heads together in the NFL.

[secondsunn4]

@2011hwalker Why you so angry? I didn't say anything about technological breakthroughs. I simply spoke on the fitness levels of mainstream society. Does technology and its pushing forward of society mean we're advanced creatures? We invent some toys and we're superior all of a sudden? Where were the inventions to help save victims of the Katrina Flood? I have nothing against societies technological advances. All these tech advances and there's more health related issues rising.

[KAIZER1987uf]

0:30 big guy is fast jump high he is bad-ass

[EagleShot]

at the end of the day god dammit they killin this shit!!!

[st3althShotz]

Come check out our vids, quick! leave a comment and sub yooo

[VicPsalm91]

@hempfield21 good advice , will definitely take that into consideration next time we do box jumps.

[cam21prater]

@CWreck100

He's wearing Nike Zoom Waffle XC during box jumps (best shoe when preforming vertical jump)

[Wiegieboard]

That treadmill is absolutely badass. Great training going on here.

[tubby92288]

love how they're alllll black except for that last guy hahahaha

[LetThereBeRock69]

@tubby92288 Well they had to get at least one white guy in there haha

[KrazyPeepProductionz]

that shit means Something

[VicPsalm91]

Defranco's Gym is where its at , crushes the competition

[hempfield21]

guy at 1:43 has the least knee bend i have ever seen, could definitely benefit from more of a 'quater' squat and add some inches to an already solid box jump

[ilikecakemorethanu]

@hempfield21 some jumpers are more reactive dominant, some are more strength dominant and need to get further down into the squat for optimal jumping, its actually a good thing that his maximal jumps require that little descent and it also shows he would probably get more out of focusing mainly on strength training vs plyometric/rfd stuff

[ilikecakemorethanu]

@hempfield21 or you could be right and he just doesn't know how to get a decent counter movement on his jump lol

[adarqui]

how often do yall get in actual sprint work, not even maximal but just ~20-40 yards (70+% of max effort)? I imagine utilizing tread sled "too much" could mess with mechanics a bit during normal sprinting.. ???

pc

[goatkiller68]

Wow. Thats very impressive. I also love doing the trap bar.

[SystemsofNervous]

damn thats freekin awesome!
