Plyometrics

Sha April 12, 2008 5

This is posted in advance via timestamp. I’ll be away for the next 2 weeks

Above is a video footage of me doing some plyometrics I did previously

It is done to improve ground contact and my explosiveness

I usually do it before my speed endurance via my previous training with my WAC group.

Now I’m incorporating it part of my own personal training plan

The thing is, after the jumps, though tired, my legs are primed for speed endurance. I can’t explain why but it’s cool eh …

But be careful of the sandpit if you’re doing plyometrics, most stadiums literally don’t maintain the sandpits, thus the sand usually hardens after awhile and it can be bad for your shin if you do jump too much into the pits

But it seems the sand at my stadium is pretty new and thus soft. I’m loving it!

The sand are new because there was no dog or cat shit in it … yet

Anyway for my last plyo training, I had a bad day for standing board jump.

My PB is in the 2.7m range and I would usually jump 2.6m on average. Well, today it just sucks

By the way the slowmo for standing board jump, I inserted the wrong clip … did anyone spotted it?

Next up, perhaps my speed endurance video log. We’ll see eh

My life story is revealed in details with spunky disposition at this personal blog of mine. I'd like to meet honest people who are fun, outgoing, upfront and not stressed! People with clean bathroom, tree huggers will be given higher priority and more attention of course.

you have lifted yourself vertically more than horizontally for bounding, wasting precious time to go up instead or moving forward.. Try to spend lesser airtime and don’t channel your energy on vertical bounding, but more on horizontal bounding..

Remember, bounding is just an over-emphasized running.. So moving forward is the main focus..

  That’s not good
  
  Improper technique will lead to injury
  
  I think your teacher didn’t do well in this PE practicum module
