4 Training Methods:
1: Extensive Plyometrics: The first method involves sub-maximal jumps, such as jump rope, pogo hops, ankle hops, skips, and rhythmic bounding. These exercises are performed for higher repetitions (30-60 seconds) to build tissue capacity for more intense athletic movements. Suitable for beginners to advanced athletes, this method helps prepare the body for rigorous training.

2: Overcoming Isometrics: This technique focuses on attempting to move an immovable object, providing a high neuromuscular stimulus with relatively low fatigue. Coached with a 3-second ramp-up of force followed by 3 seconds of max force production, examples include mid-thigh pull, calf raises, and leg extensions against resistance. This method offers position-specific strength and is deemed safe.

3: Dynamic Effort: Involving the movement of sub-maximal weights as quickly as possible, dynamic effort training aims to improve power and accelerate through the end of each repetition. The load percentages vary, with lower body exercises typically at 75-85% for 2-5 reps and upper body at 50-60% for 3 reps. The method helps vary joint stress from maximal effort work.

4: Zone 2 Cardio: This method, different from skyzone cardio, entails performing steady-state cardio around 60-70% of the maximum heart rate. It provides cardiovascular health benefits, true aerobic training adaptations, low fatigue, and can be achieved through skill training or sport practice. Examples include treadmill running and rowing.

Fantastic. Great methods of training and seem very promising when implemented correctly

I wanted to ask you a question. During a mesocycle dedicated to improving power for the vertical jump what progression pattern should be used, for example if I am doing a squat at 50% of 1RM for 5 reps the next week how should I progress? On the other hand, in exercises such as the Jump box, if I did 5 reps with the box one meter high the next week, how do I progress?
PS:I respect you

Would love to know your thoughts on "training" youth athletes 12-16 year olds. Many thanks for the content

Hi, you mention 150 minutes a week of zone 2 cardio...can it be effective in doses a little as half hour per session? I read that 45 minutes is the minimum for a session to benefit mitochondrial health. Thanks, what a great channel!

I feel like as a basketball player I'm playing all the time and just playing I would get enough extensive plyometrics so when I go in the weight room I should just mostly focus on things I don't get in the court, like heavy lifting for strenght, isometrics for tendon health and explosive plyometrics🤷

Hi, sir we have to start from endurance, hypertrophy, strength, power then plyometric am i right
