Plyometric Training - Poe Performance

[bensmiling]

You'll have to buy a bigger box now....

[oliliburd]

@elitewarsaw hey elitewarsaw, please answer my question, will plyometrics training make me run quicker? thankyou ! :)

[elitewarsaw]

@oliliburd A solid strength foundation is the most important aspect of speed. Olympic sprinters are very strong athletes throughout their entire bodies. Maurice Green bench pressed 365# at a body weight of 180#.

If you combine plyometric training with strength your speed can improve dramatically.

@elitewarsaw thankyou very much for replying. im a soccer player, so is there any kind of workout you could advice, much appreciated.

[Mcqueen102]

Wow, NICE!

[ksf7]

that looks higher then 48 inch? u measure it yeh? 4ft??

[TheRugbyidiot]

Failing at box jumps sucks bigtime. I got a nice gash on my shin from it a few weeks ago. Good to see someone conquer the 48" after failing tho.

[elitewarsaw]

@TheRugbyidiot Yes it does - I have a scar on my shin from the miss in this video. I actually landed that jump before the miss, but didn't allow enough recovery time between jumps. My goal is a 48" box jump wearing a 20# weighted vest by the end of 2010.

[killerwhale8000]

@elitewarsaw Just curious, how's that goal playing out for you? (the 48" box wearing the weighted vest)

[elitewarsaw]

@killerwhale8000 Due to a schedule change I couldn't stick with the training to attempt that jump with the vest. I plan to get it in the future though.

@elitewarsaw Plyometrics are the best way to Increase Explosive speed rigt>?

[elitewarsaw]

@lordvoldemort578 They are a great tool along with a solid complete strength and conditioning program.

[lordvoldemort578]

@elitewarsaw 3x10 box jumps

3x10 depth jumps

6x20 yard sprints

4x40 yard sprints

1x50yard sprint

What do you think of that? Mixed with some power cleans and deadlifts or something

[elitewarsaw]

@lordvoldemort578 Plyometrics should be done in the lower rep ranges, generally between 1 & 3 reps per set. How much volume depends on the athlete and entire program. I wouldn't recommend that many jumps per set if your goal is to improve power. I like the sprints but would suggest backing the jumps down to 3-8 sets of 2 jumps. Also, performing depth jumps from a box over 12" is asking for injury.

[lordvoldemort578]

@elitewarsaw Since Plyos increase Power should I feel sore after a good plyo workout

[agonizedfever]

@lordvoldemort578 i like it man

[Meginnis31]

daym ur 40 can u still dunk

[Meginnis31]

cool i play jv basketball for Oak hill, one of the best in the country our school i can get 48 inch box too and im about 5 4 130 and white, BUT u did great were u wearing a weight vest too! Can u dunk on 10 feet

[elitewarsaw]

@Meginnis31 I can dunk, but I'm also 6'3". I'm almost 40 years old though so you have to cut me a little slack. :)

Oak Hill is no joke. Congrats on playing in that program.

[mister100m]

nice vid but i was told that good sprinters are good jumpers and good jumpers are good sprinters so wish he could tell me how fast is he in 100m sprint.

[elitewarsaw]

@mister100m: There is a direct correlation between jumping ability and speed. I have no clue what my 100 time is, but I do still have decent wheels.

[mister100m]

@elitewarsaw make a search on dwain chambers there s a good vid where he jumps at least as high as you.

[elitewarsaw]

@mister100m Chambers jumps well over 60"...way out out of my league!

[martin1106]

nice job!

[doughoffer]

Fantastic jump!

[CPerfringens]

GJ, I wish I had those kind of boxes were I train.

I'd have to be careful not to break my skull when standing up though.

[elitewarsaw]

Not many gyms have plyometric boxes. That's my own facility so it has what I want it to have. :)

[vivalageorge5]
