This lil video is an absolute gold nugget for increasing ya vertical and ya compound, power movements in gym. This guy just astounds me with his knowledge but the gift to keep it so practical and simple. You tha man Chris.

Just reading all comments below, no one got it lol

Thanks for the reminder coach. I've been cruising a little too much on aux lifts because I feel beat up after I'm done with the main compound lift.

How often do we need to switch up our plyo movements? I do BB jump squats, KB swings, Med ball slams, Rhythm jumps, one plyo step ups, and the speed ladder. Should I rotate in new exercises every 4-8 weeks or are these exercises enough to hit all the angles on plyo work?

Traning with lifting belts for athletes. Should they be used at all, if so when?

Yo Chris,
I play soccer and i have been wondering what type of work i have to do in the gym could you gave me suggestions?

[jonese]

yo chris, you talked about absolute strength, but when is strong enough to get a 40 inch? FxIf you can squat 1.5x your own bodyweight, will that strength foundation be enough?

Yo Chris is it possible to increase your vertical without doing box jumps? I don't have access to boxes or platforms. Thanks

Hip flexor strain/tear recovery exercises?

Sir i am not been able to sign up on your website... ... What should i do now????... I urgently need daily routine vertical jump exercises.

Hey Chris love your vids, Keep up the incredible work. I have not one but 2 questions on this occasion so here goes...

1) just wondered what kind of exercises would you suggest for building muscle density and permanent to semi-permanent activation(myofribular hypertrophy) in the posterior chain of the body for sprints, horizontal jumps, more posterior chain dominant functional exercises.

It's been my experience most people find it so much easier to activate the anterior muscles and suffer poor hip extension through hamstrings and glutes. I ask coz i recently tore my ACL and need surgery but wanna strengthen up these before, + most people have a poor back chain.

2) What would you suggest to activate and strengthen the iliopsoas muscles reducing the activation from the rectus femoris as a hip flexor. I wanna improve my sprinting ability after recovery. I read somewhere the muscles closest to your center of gravity aka. the belt line should be much stronger and they help to improve performance regardless of the activity but quad dominant individuals like myself are having a problem with this.

Anyways thanks for all the help in the forms of your videos, apologise for the length of the message

Hey guys, anybody here have any advice on what supplements i should take? I'm about 6ft flat 157lbs and I feel like I've reached a point where I won't see any more progress if I dont start takinging in supplements

[mrfrank]

i weigh 230 and have a 410 high bar back squat and 350 front squat. Do I have enough strength to have a 30+ plus vertical?
