Power Plyometrics
Jun 02, 2021Today we're talking about power development, specifically, through plyometrics. How much power can you produce and control? If you can't control that power, you are increasing your risk of injury.
Unfortunately, plyometrics is done incorrectly in most gym settings. True plyometrics should be full intensity- EVERY TIME. To work on your plyometrics and to gain better control, we'll start with a few basic plyometric drills.
Watch Dr. Jacob walk you through:
-Snap Downs
-Single Leg Snap Downs
-Altitude Drops
-Lateral Bound Stick
Give these a shot- all out intensity for for 5 or so reps and see how you progress your power/strength and control in the gym. Good luck!

This video piggy backs on our Power Plyometrics Part 1 video. We're covering plyometric power with load once you've learned to control your body. This is a great progression for developing power.
The first exercise is loaded jumping squats. There are two key things to remember here, go 100 percent and stop when you drop down to a 90 percent effort and REST. The weight can be a kettlebell or medicine ball, really whatever you have. Get loaded, jump as high as you can and stop when your effort decreases.
This exercise will help you continue to develop power. Good luck!
