DeFrancosGym.com: Guaranteed exercise to improve Vertical Jump!

[sebnagletaylor]

what would be ideal reps and sets for this?

[allathlete5]

Anyone know what kind of bands those are? Are they the Orange Resistance Training Bands from PerformBetter?? Really looking to get some of these if anyone could help me find out which they are!

[OHWolves1694]

God, this looks like hamstring hell!

[mrtubeuser999]

ooo noooooozzzzz, the form police are here! on no there form is not perfect, omg, we are all going to DIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[AFROTHINKER]

Iagree with Raptorel in part.

Yes it is true what youy say , Raptorel, because it seems these guys have really mastered the KB swqings in the first place, especially the big guy in the middle.

If and only if, you have mastered the KB swing, it might be safe to pcroceed with that exercise and remembver to use your hips instead of your shoulders.

Progression, slow progression!!!!!!

[Raptorel]

@AFROTHINKER Well it doesn't seem like everybody mastered the swing if you know what I mean :))

[Raptorel]

I don't understand one thing: the bands would actually "teach" the athlete to use their shoulders actively because the resistance is occuring at the top part of the swing where the hip extension kind of ends... so you tend to compensate by using your shoulders and arms which is a no-no.

So I don't find this particularly beneficial.

@Raptorel La om ii place sa foloseasca lanturi si benzi. Stiu ca era cineva gen el, nush acum cine(cineva gen michael boyle, sau martin rooney, adica oameni cum multa experienta) care zicea ca benzile sunt un cacat si ca de fapt ai putea si fara pt ca ele, si ca in loc sa pui 20 de kile pui benzi care sa sbubstituie.

[ako541]

what bands are the orange ones ? efs pro lights ?

[kheartsify]

there resistricting movement. and fast twitch muscles only work for a couple of seconds, so reps so should shorter and done with maximum ability

[AFROTHINKER]

These forms on the kettlebell swings are HORRIBLE!!!!!

yes, it is creative to add a resistance band on the kettlebell swings but one has to master thre swing first before adding anything to it.

They hyperextend their backs, they dont fire their hips, they use the arms to lift the bell etc etc. It looks like a shoulder exercise.

I am not convinced that they even know how to swing the kettlebell in the first place.

my two cents!!!

[ahubbard0390]

@AFROTHINKER love where your heads at. i said every single one of those things in my head when watching, the arms should be ROPES people!!!! proper progression!!

[jakesnod]

Am I wrong in thinking the guy that starts at 1:37 has the best form? Just trying to differentiate based off jbgood's comment.

[twinkteaser]

@adarqui your vert is hardly impressive, and defranco's resume speaks for itself.

[pharoahblaque]

hey Joe D what size Kb was that? i have that exact band and i want to try those out maybe today

[newyorkfan025]

@pharoahblaque whered you get the band. thanks

[newyorkfan025]

@pharoahblaque where'd you get the band? thanks

[ako541]

@newyorkfan025 i think them bands they use in this video are elite fts pro light bands

[Graziella2006]

I broke one already today : ) fun to train : )

[ubertoss2000]

Joe, I liked this at first until we added them today and now I love 'em! Used single arm db swings since we don't have kb's.

[AlexieKovalev]

how old are these guys

[AmusingYeti]

Damn the secret is getting out!! Ive known about these for a long while. They seem to be gaining popularity recently.

[bigtonutz]

Joe!! bellowallyo!!!! :)

[mmaarrkkoodd1990]

NICE VMO AT THE END!!!

[airmanhunter]

mmmmm sweet jesus

[Deezal85]

Where can I purchase a resistance band like the ones you guys used?

[ptarleton]

@Deezal85

EliteFTS.com

[yyportne]

At the beginning of the video the guy all the way to the right was like What? ... then he was like Huh? Then he was like, oh crap he's got the camera out again lol.

Great video. Thanks for the insight. Thumbs up as usual.

[jbgood3208]

I always appreciate the videos you post; However I think that some of those guys need to learn how to swing a bell first without the bands. 

[camdadydizle]

@jbgood3208 just the white guys

[Zoidypoo89]

Yeah, how heavy is the kettlebells, and where did you get the resistence bands?? And how much weight do the resistence bands add?

[cupofrice]

I can only imagine what happens if that resistance band brakes lol.

[adarqui]

the accomodating resistance on shoulder flexion, in a manner very specific to vj, will definitely improve shoulder power for VJ.. as for the accelerated eccentric/leg/hip aspect of this exercise, better results would be gotten via depth jumps and/or REA squatting (banded or regular) imo.. that's pretty weak eccentric overload compared to DJ's/REA SQ.

but for shoulder power, i like this exercise, looks effective.

[icharuswing]

@adarqui i think joe defranco knows a little bit more about what it takes to improve your jump than you

[adarqui]

@icharuswing : no offense to your idol, but i seriously doubt it.



[allstarNZ]

@icharuswing Lol, na man.

[alexr780]

@icharuswing Defranco is very knowledgeable, but for vertical jump.... adarqui is god.

[icharuswing]

@alexr780 oh does he also train olympic and professional athletes

[adarqui]

@icharuswing : professionals yes, olympic no. but i could care less about that, my own personal results speak for itself, and within 6 more months, game over.

i am the god of vert, just accept it and relax.

[ilikecakemorethanu]

@icharuswing which olympic athletes does joe train? I thought his niche was primarily pro football players

[letshop40]

how heavy is that kettlebell?
