  • The golgi tendon reflex threshold tends to increase with exercise making it harder to set off the reflex. Also, reflexes in muscles can voluntarily be overridden when one knows which movement is going to follow next. That is the case here. Even the definition of plyometrics on wikipedia is not able to confirm how the myotatic reflex and the stretch-shortening cycle really works. Again, nice exercise, good demonstration. Just think the reflex is not being set off to make this a plyometric.

  • @myinternalwar Okay, so what plyometrics do you do? How do you address the deficiencies that you've identified in this vid clip? I am eager to see your response. Thank you.

  • @mysteezyfooty Hahahah south park !

  • scissor me timbers!!!!!!!

  • Very nice exercise. Certainly will build strength and balance. I am still not convinced this fits the definition of a plyometric exercise (like most exercises people are calling them today). Sure you have the eccentric load followed by the concentric contraction, but setting off the myotatic reflex is a different story. Instead, what is happening is that the elastic part of the muscle stores energy when stretched allowing for the change of momentum to take place. Thats not a reflex.
