[lilrat489]

I used to hate these drills during highschool football. I was a lineman.

[Jokerizbadass]

I was fucking horrible at this shit lol

[imfrshlikeuhh]

[ucladan1982]

@imfrshlikeuhh yeah he fucked it up at the end! i was a dot drill guru haha

[shemzirox]

[Densone7]

@DonkeysSkull thanks man :)

[jellyninja0]

Eah. Im just gonna watch TV instead.

[Densone7]

@guitarnukka724 thnks

[guitarnukka724]

so on the single leg ones, how it starts back right, then middle, then front right, front left, middle, back left..

would it be alright to do the exact opposite with your left foot instead of doing both feet the same ?

[Densone7]

are u suppose to do this slow or fast ? just wondering nd how long do i have to do this to see results ? thanks

[guitarnukka724]

@Densone7 you're supposed to do it as fast as you can, it's for agility/speed.

[DonkeysSkull]

@Densone7 5 times for each type of jump, as fast as you can, and do it everyday. it only takes about a minute. so you have all the time in the world everyday to do it. you should get results if keep doing it

[THE3DGBBFAN10]

I did my first time in 54 seconds

[DonkeysSkull]

@THE3DGBBFAN10 i did mine in 40, big deal, this workout is huge at my highschool

[Swishes87]

@DonkeysSkull no you didnt

[DonkeysSkull]

@Swishes87 okay 43, still thats alot better than most of you

[MrJoed1211]

is there a fastforward in some part of this video?....

[purp13hayz3]

good for boxing!



[10013647]

just play a game or hop scotch instead

[wildwestham]

how long do you do it for.and how often do you switch up from the different little stnaces when doing it

[halojango78]

@wildwestham you usually do 6 of each set. I suck at it in my school, and I get 53 sec. most can get around 40 sec.

[dylanbarton82]

@wildwestham you do 6 on each one

[zigytapp]

If you're interested in this drill and ones like it, I urge you to check out an iPhone app called Zigyt. Zigyt is an app for agility training. It calls out moves to make for over 20 different agility drills. The app includes a random version of the dot drill seen here. It's even harder than the regular dot drill as you won't know what dot will be called next. You can find Zigyt in the iTunes store or by searching Zigyt on the web.

[Bohannan55]

yeah my coach lives off this thing ALWAYS GOTTA DO YOUR DOT DRILLS.....man bout broke my ankle tho doin them one foot ones with no high tops on haha

[JOEYFBSK8R]

my football team does those it helps for foot work or some shit like that

[KINGCUCA]

I like the chalk idea!

[SirRetku]

Looks kinda gay....Thats what girls do on a schoolbreak...

[vlara95]

@SirRetku actually it does work we do this all the time for football, my coach even said that every major D1 college in the country does this for footwork and speed

[beastlybeast62696]

@SirRetku pro football players too

[JConan23]

how far away should the dots be?

[JohnTheRipper222]

@JConan23 make the vertical space between them 3 feet then make the horizontal space between dots 2 feet (so its a rectangle). Put a dot right in the middle of em.

[larryau1990]

Could this activities used for the basketball workout?

[oljuny]

Thanks a lot. I got ideas how to improve my speed and agility!

[GhostAccount56]

how far apart should the dots be?

[killstealer4]

Notice how he's always on his toes. His heel never touches the ground.

[sexiw0lf]

I did this in high school weight training class. There were 2 of us that could clear it in under a minute. He was a skateboarder, I'm just very leg active

[santoscool845]

@sexiw0lf Yeah I do them in weigh training too, I'm not that good but working on it lol, we work on speed wednesdays. on mondays, tuesday, and thursday we work out, and on friday game day, pretty good class.

[HenryCongNguyen]

LOL I just play DDR

[JohnTheRipper222]

fuckin idiot.....DDR and dot arent even close. it may look like it. its not.

[mahms012]

i have noticed tht many exercises that boost speed or agility look exactly like that.

if some one knows a good website for speed exercises it would be great

thanks

[chipotlex]

mmmmm....yeah; I could buy the dots or I could simply stick some tape on the floor.

[xKePtRuE]

This was just to show you the exercise... He isn't trying to prove anything...

[Airbornerock]

If I told you I run a 4.0 50 yard dash, wold you believe me?

[valentinasilverwoody]

I dont know that means......clam....down...i know its fake..[well not fake fake....]...hes just showing how to do it....i get it......i got it the first time.....it just that other people didnt.......duh!

[pyrofate]

wow man, your really fucking stupid. Did it ever enter your tiny brain that this is an instructional video for people to get the idea from and practice?

[Chrisrokk239]

Great drill. It feels like you ran a mile in about 1 minute. It helped me go from the last guy on the bench to an all conference player in high school basketball. Do it every day. You'll get great results.

[yogotah]

really? did it really, how long did it take you to see results in this drill

[Chrisrokk239]

@yogotah about 5 weeks. I did this 3x a week and also did a lot of drilss from the book Jumping into Plyometrics.

[JohnTheRipper222]

ya man im in football i was a line backer. i did this everyday (a full drill) and i got so good i could do it in about 37seconds. It made me really quick I could go from the 2 hole to the 7 or 8 (depending on play) in 2 seconds or so. it helps alot! you just gotta work at it.

[Shadower6]

@JohnTheRipper222 My couch wants me to do these everyday but my left knee is in pain and i cant do the Left Foot drill. Whats the best way to fix a knee

[JohnTheRipper222]

@Shadower6 ooooo i know all about knee pain. does it hurt when u walk or just all the time?

[Shadower6]

@JohnTheRipper222 when i walk or bend my knees. Its Harder to run.

[JohnTheRipper222]

@Shadower6 oooo well im in track also and that happend to my knee after i got my shit rocked trying to do shuttle hurtle and falling on my ass. The way i dealt with mine was i just excercised it normaly by doing some daily walks and then icing it and warming it up under some hot water and fluctuated between hot and cold for a little bit everyday. my knee felt better after about 4 days or so. is ur knee hurting because you fell or something or did it just all of the sudden start hurting one day.

[mrjefftoyou]

@Shadower6

My couch just wants me to lay on it and watch Tv. OH YOU MEAN COACH!

[calgaryjimbo]

I've been doing and teaching this drill since the late 80s -- when I was younger and quicker I could do it in about 50 seconds. Great drill for increasing quickness!

[Couldntthinkofanname]

damn wish i could do that that fast

[stevematylewicz]

he edited it and sped up each drill...if you watch closely he speeds up after showing each drill the first time...

[pyrofate]

your fucking stupid. a stupid monkey could see that. you suck at life. did it ever occur to you that this is so other people who dont know how to do his yet are watching this to figure out how to do it?

[Lonprivate]

Can you tell me where the yellow circles be purchased?

[jet0l19]

lol seriously? just get some chalk and draw some circles

[canadiensfan66]

LMFAO

U BUUUY IT

[Riha1]

we have to do this in school in 3 days but we have partners and i have no clue what to do!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jet0l19]

you do each cycle 5 times according to this guy(we did 6 at my high school). and sometimes you do them as fast as possible, sometimes you do them for accuracy, not missing the dots, and sometimes an intermediate between the two.

[pookie797]

yea thats how my hs does it too, do u guys do it everytime u lift too?

[jet0l19]

yup

[sheldons7]

We did that in high school. And yeah, it does help. Its a great warm up

[LittleJ2008]

This is the dots complex from bigger faster stronger.  Need to wear high-tops at first until your ankles get used to it.

[ZiaInvictus]

Theese are so much fun we do them at school.

bigger, faster, stronger?

[JohanSebastianBox]

Cool, I'm gonna give this a try.
