PLYOMETRICS - JUMP SQUATS

[klevdav]

It's 135 . Gee whiz u can and should be able to throw that up easy

[FinalMythology]

lol i did a shit load of these for track and field followed by some few hurdle jumps, a 60m sprint, 40 lunges, and all over again like 3 times till my legs could no longer hop one bit nor run. next couple days my legs felt like shit. could barely bend them hurts quite a bit to even touch them as if someone socked you in the legs and pain never leaves . so yea at the expense of pain youll get some results ;)

[marselluswallace6]

@marcroops i was just kidding :)

[marcroops]

@CallumPK - You got me brutha...1-0 - Have an awesome night and keep the comments going - Funk

[Aughal]

@marcroops Does this build any mass?

[merchantofvenice100]

Peak Power Output (PPO) occurs @ 0% in the JS, why bother loading an exercise that doesn't need it? Also, to maximize PPO per rep, and therefore adaptations, you should stop between reps.

[TheFatBaby]

Though I'll admit this is pretty impressive.

[TheFatBaby]

For all of you saying that regular jump squats might be better, after a 2 and a half month regimen getting me up to 10x40 unweighted jump squats on 1 minute, I'm realizing that there's going to have to be a point that I add weight. It might seem absolutely absurd, what he's doing, but it's about building up to it and not only strengthening your legs, but conditioning them to push much further.

[eezerik]

nice. you don't think to do it on some pad so less wear on your knee joint?

[MetaIhead89]

Would it make sense to do box jumps with 135 lb on your back? Or is it dangerous?

[alejandrothefader]

@MetaIhead89 too dangerous man... mabe with a weighted vest yeah, but iamngine if you trip with all that weight on you... it's common sense... it would be a good exercise i suppose... for a madman XD

[MetaIhead89]

@alejandrothefader haha yeah, I think you're right.

[alejandrothefader]

@MetaIhead89 im always right!! fuck yeah! (kidding) ;)

[dunlea2k8]

3x10 at start of ur workout? what fuckin steroids are u on?

[marcroops]

@dunlea2k8 After you warm up then you do the plyo jump squats, followed by your other leg exercises...you are not going to perform this at then end, when you are tired...you need all the strength and focus...before even attempting this you should perfect the regular bodyweight squat, then squat with barbell and finally bodyweight jump squats, then try this exercise....no need for STERIODS, to knock this exercise out the park - Funk

[onetao8]

@marcroops i have always done this as a finisher on my leg day (2-3 sets of 12-15). I will try doing it first next week. I haven't in the past because i thought it would take away from my heavy squats, leg press, deadlifts, lunges etc. Do you find you can still lift heavy after doing these?

[PigeonToedShawdy]

@marcroops @marcroops I was A Little Afraid to doing Barbel Jump Squats at the begining of my leg workout. But I decided to give it a try. Now I blast through my Leg routine. It aslo makes Regular Barbell Squats eaisier, & I've Increased my weight.

[ZamolxisReborn]

@dunlea2k8 it's only 135. relax, dude. no steroids required.

[1993kofi]

would this increase speed?

[musicofthesoul85]

I never understand why people get out of the squat rack. just lower the side bars if you want to get low. Its there for a reason, so yo don't get hurt.

[jonnieos]

is someone voicing over this dude cuz there's no way that's him talking.

[EliteParaReg]

Lol at the guy in the red shirt behind him XD 0:14

[cgshreryy]

it sounds like he's taking a mean shit

[AFROTHINKER]

Thuis is where I am very concerned.

Before you do such exercises, you have to make sure that you are strong enough first. The NSCA recommends that one must be able to squat 1.5 time his/her BW. The Russian used to believe 2 times the BW. This is a plyo exercises and prior to plyo which is part of power training, one has to have a base of strength. The average Joe who does this without getting strong first will eventually get hurt!!!

[liviti]

@AFROTHINKER I've read this "guideline" or barometer for strength before but how many reps should you be able to squat your 1.5x or 2x BW?

[bigguyviet100]

man ima snap my back with that haha

[garioldwin]

with this you may gain vertical but that aint do to you any good couse you'll have bad knees .

[nariman1234]

brian skinner? lol

[kennyfujioka]

@nariman1234 LMAO

[pumabooma]

Awesome form man, great reps, bet you have a good vertical. I've heard fewer reps for fully explosive reps I've heard, but other than that awesome job.

[d15z1sux]

i guess u can always start on much lighter weights... or no weights

[marcroops]

@d15z1sux Definitely - THIS IS AN ADVANCED EXERCISE - I have also linked the bodyweight squat and jump squat as a start

[alejandrothefader]

@marcroops man, you seem to know what you talk about so i got a question to you, if you know about increasing vertical jump, i play bball... im 5,65 tall and i reach rim, after 1 and a half year of training with weights and plyos (prior to it i couldn't even reach half the net) i can squat 115 kgs which is more than 1,5 times my b.w so, how many kgs should i put in my weighted jump squat and how much do you think i can improve my vert!

[portmurphy1]

@marcroops do i hv to get tht low for it to increase my vertical fast ?

[Luraj7]

THATS SHIT! You must do plyometrics with your own body weight

[dirkofyork]

@Luraj7

idealy do both with and without weight

[belingafred]

Speed has played a tremendous impact in every sport in the recent years. Athletes nowadays tend to be more explosive and quick due to the evolution of sport science and nutrition. Everybody agrees that Carl Lewis wouldn't run as fast as Bolt or that or that the condition of NFl players nowadays varies alot from those in the 90's onwards. 40 yard dash is used in almost every sport now, to evaluate the explosiness and fast twitch of an individual athlete.

[20musicfreak20]

i dont do that with weight

[EMDIESEL]

it works for some people..it may not work for others. The human body is an amazing specimen people. It may hurt the knees it may not. up to you to take the risk.

[thefuture067]

this suks ! i mean i tried doing this in my rooom because i have all the wieghts in world but im not even strong enuff to pick the weights and the bar up together to do this exercise ! not even reg squat! + i tried doing lower weight but i caouldnt keep my body stable so i fell.. with the wieghts on my back . not safe

[usaearthling]

@thefuture067 Either way people see it, it's not worth what it does to your knees. I was a body builder, now having all sorts of surgery. The knees are the first to go. Yeah I want to see this guy a few years down the line he will be having knee surgery or problems. Guaranteed.

[CBRYDR]

Too much load on the spine at the lowest part of the rep. Can cause herniated discs in lumbar region L1-L5. Try box squats instead, which emphasizes on muscles of the posterior chain

[notjustin]

i dont want to be an internet know it all. explosive exercises are getting popular but nobody would say to do such high reps. for explosive exercises three reps is favored. muscles cant work at their peak for very long. and once the htmu's drop out you might as well be doing HIT

[bushi132001]

Why do you think that explosive exercises are now populare?

[6academic6]

I don't recommend this to people with bad knees or back or...waist

[evilskin]

HOLY SHIT O.O

i can hear my knees exploading ahhaha

[PaulRockey]

If I want to increase my jumping power, and I want to work with 5 sets of 5 reps each (with 2-5 minute rests), how much weight should I use on jump squats? My back squat for maximal strength is 5 reps of 265. What percentage of that should I use for this type of power/plyometric exercise?

[dbertrandx]

You should train somewhere in between 30% and 70% of your 1RM (hope you know how you can calculate it; don't forget to consider your bodyweight). From 30% to 50% you will mainly work on your speed-power (jumping is related to that) and from 50% to 70% you will mainly work on your strenght-power). The goal is to move the bar as fast as possible. You should stop once there is a serious decrease of speed.

[stevenjp]

This a great idea - if youre capable of good form and set the weights down long enough to comprehend the already existing stress loads of gravitational force... bwahaha!

[amithnair07]

his knees are too far forward..bad form

[sachtelj]

I'd hurt myself, lol...

[kison718]

For some reason I like that work and can't wait to try it out at the gym. I know heads are going to turn like 'wtf is he doing' !?!..

[robg5555]

Screw 'em, your vert will improve and theirs won't

[lakayna]

we want the funk, nothing but the funk

[iPOPiLIKE]

my knee so pain

[DolphinProductions1]

that'll*

[DolphinProductions1]

that's make my knees EXPLODE

[2ShaePussyCat]

Hmm this type of exercises are good for vert, but, knee pressure when you run is 3X bodyweight, when u jump is 10x bodyweight, i wonder if that pressure isn't to high.

[shoktong08]

nice squat!
