[@kOt985]

Awesome explanations! I am just wondering where I could find the sources of the aforementioned methods explained in this video as I am wanting to read more about it? Thanks

[@briancarmichael6748]

Very good stuff!

[@nickleyden]

Thank you, appreciate it.

[@nascent24]

Great stuff as usual Nick!! Gonna implement the RSI next sesh👍💪

[@nickleyden]

Which one are you going to try out?

[@markbisnauth3369]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@damianvoneuw]

Thank you

[@odeliasilva]

Would you recommend this for long distance runners?

[@nickleyden]

While power development for the lower body and ankles can improve tendon energy transfer with each step you take and this method could help improve your force production and power output which is very important you may be better of taking standard approach to developing those qualities. If I was to recommend any of the 5 it would be to implement traditional contrast training.

Thank you! @@nickleyden

Is there any way I could find out what specifically your programs offer, like the difference between the 45$/month vs 75

[@aarondeschepper4879]

Hello Nick, thanks for the clear answer. I am not an athlete but I like combining hypertrophy work with a more athletic type of training. I implement contrast training because it can be beneficial for my strength and strength can lead to more progressive overload. I do contrast training almost every training. What’s your opinion about this?

[@nickleyden]

You can definitely do it quite often. I do think that doing other methods or phases of training would be beneficial. But overall it’s hard to go wrong with

I run pretty fast but I need more work on jumping one foot during a sprint (I play ultimate frisbee so vertical jumps while running are pretty common). I'm currently on the last month of my strength block before transitioning to a strength block. I'm planning to implement the Complex Contrast Training as you suggested. What variation would you suggest for me to use for my power block if I want to improve my one foot speed jump? Great content btw! Glad to have encountered this video

[@menachemmendel3413]

So when you do the contrast training do u first do all the strengths sets and then do the pylo sets or 1set of strength and do 1 set of pylo repeat?

[@nickleyden]

You would do one set of strength and then immediately into on set of plyos like a super set

Hi, do you know which is residual effect of this type of training?

[@nickleyden]

Like more power and explosiveness?

[@josericardoazevedo2275]

Would you recommend this for volleyball?

[@nickleyden]

Yes these will definitely help with power and vertical jump. I’ve used these with some of our volleyball players before during our strength and power block of training

[@avghooper594]

what about french contrast?

[@nickleyden]

Also good I just use it very sparingly

[@mauriziogobbo256]

Too many useless words

[@nickleyden]

@@mauriziogobbo256 because you can’t understand or you didn’t like the video?

[@mauriziogobbo256]

​@@nickleyden Sorry....15 minutes....only words...

[@yerfaceful]

@@nickleydenconsider maybe that you are like an engineer who is using engineer language but you’re not breaking it down and delivering it in simpler words. It just happens when you’re a little deep in the academic or teacher side or study side and you need to still figure out how to teach it to a beginner. But I mean I’m the vid you are kinda talking to other trainers or athletes. Yea maybe that dude just needs to learn a few words after all lol.
