  • Why are people always trying to correct those who post helping videos. Everyone's an expert, right? There's nothing wrong with the way he does it. Especially for beginners. Wider base and slow tempo= safety. Once the individual builds enough foundational strength, he/she can increase the tempo. Continue to post videos like this because totally help my clients.

  • that's so dynamic

  • they say a young michael jordan watched this very same ExpertVillage video growing up..

  • hey, would it be pylometric if i did that once, then a complete broad jump forward so thats 1 both combined. and keep doing that?

  • nice video Sir!

  • okay... i hear what all the speed freaks are saying...but technique will keep you from getting injured and thats what he is teaching... with repetition of skilled movement lends for optimal results.

  • this makes u jump higher??runn faster??

  • that kills the legs after 20 lol

  • he sums up the idea very well in the end :)

  • touch and go, touch and go!!!!!!!!!

  • i inured my knee not doing this but doing some plyometrics, i think i went too fast, any ideas on how long i should rest until i exercise again?

  • @HellsLightOne The main reason ppl do plyometric exercises are not to increase vertical leap. Plyo can be done in many kinds of exercises not involving the legs.

    If you jump fast, you will exhaust yourself and wont be able to jump as high. Google Muscle and learn about the diffrent kind of musclefibers and which ones are endurant and which ones are explosive.(Hint: The explosive ones are not endurant).

    If you jump slow you wont build endurance. Jump fast and you will.
