Explosive Leg Endurance Training

Here's a short video showing one of the exercise sets that I do for explosive leg endurance training. I use a bar with no weights, but you can add weight if desired. Due to the dynamic nature of the exercise, the more weight you add, the slower your repetitions may become, so I recommend keeping it relatively light. The goal output of this exercise is to develop a more explosive jump and to be able to increase the anabolic endurance of the legs for dynamic movements. For me, I do this type of training for wushu (martial arts).

In the video, I'm showing 20 barbell pull hop reps followed by 20 barbell back squat reps. You can increase or decrease the repetitions as needed based on your athletic condition. For the anabolic endurance goal, try for at least 10 repetitions on each. The motion for the pull hop takes some getting used to if you're not familiar with the movement. You may also opt for a full clean if you prefer (i.e. hang clean or power clean).

This is just something that I've been doing and may not be suited for you. Be safe and use caution while exercising of course! See how this feels before you go all out! Good luck.

Very bad techniques! Need to learn proper techniques especially when doing olympic type lifts. Injury... coming soon. Take some protein too!

[ngstylez]

@lokalonez11 Well I wasn't going for the full clean, but can you show me the proper technique in your videos?

[lifterXofXtheXdead]

i think u would have better results with power endurance if u stuck with plyo circuits than the bar....the light weight makes it hard to hit the muslces u want to work on and the plyos would be a more sport specific movement to ur sport....art...w/e

[ngstylez]

@lifterXofXtheXdead Ok thanks

[carzyscenctist]

dude, that is not how you do it, in the power clean you must use your leg an go up hard !!!

[ngstylez]

@carzyscenctist Dude, thank for the tip !!!

@KingGimpicus

kid it says endurance training, tough guy

[ngstylez]

@meds613 It's only bad if you can't do it. It's ok, you can work up to it! I believe in you! You can do it! And then you can make a video of your own for people to comment on! :D

[Sdelosinfiernos]

Nice music jeje

[ItZjaza005]

@meds613 hey dumbass its endurance training not power training... get ur eyes check before u comment..



[meds613]

@ngstylez what a waste. pretty bad video.. maybe u should search youtube for useful workouts

[ngstylez]

@KingGimpicus Thanks Gimp! Can you show me how to do it?

[KingGimpicus]

WOOOOW. YOU CAN DO STUFF WITH AN EMPTY BAR?!?! HOLY CRAP YOU MUST BE LIKE STRONGER THAN GOD OR SOMETHING!!!

Not. Go put some weight on that shit, chump.

[ngstylez]

@BangXD Thanks for pointing that out. :) It would be a more notable observation if the title of the video were "get big with these exercises"... but nope, that's not the point of the video.

[BangXD]

@ngstylez you are pretty small though

[ngstylez]

@jaredm59 Yep, they sure do!

@mattlikespeoples Who's small? You? Why don't you show us how it's done :D

[mattlikespeoples]

No wonder you're that small. At least put SOME weight on the bar. Then maybe if wont look like you're just waiving the bar around.

[ngstylez]

@jmihlan32 It's actually 44.7lbs. I weighed it.

[jmihlan32]

you know your using a 45 pound bar right?

[ngstylez]

@somethingcl3v3r Your correct, this is definitely not a standard nor proper "clean". I just wanted to cut the movement short and experiment with trying to constantly move. This an effort to create a more oxygen intensive exercise. Yea, I don't know why people get all worked up about other people's exercise experiments, as there's only one correct way to train! As long as it is safe, why not try different things? Thanks for your comment.
