[@donluchitti]

You know guys, he's doing all his plyo rhythmically to optimize his reflexive (rubber band) like strength. (I think it's officially called reflexive or dynamic strength). But you don't have to do it only that way. If you wanna work on your power (not the rubber bandy element of a jump) go a few less reps and put a few secs pause in between each execution. You''d get higher jumps and also exert more intensity (load) on your muscles causing them to get stronger resulting in an ultimately more higher jump!

[@nicholaiscottman8428]

can you explain this a little more please?

[@donluchitti]

I got my info from the Jump Bible. Google it, it's a free book on vertical training

[@namabengia2039]

you are the guru

[@goergecastanza1299]

Funk Roberts Firstly congratulations on the job of making video of exercises for people who want a good shape and health.'m Brazilian and thanks to your video I'm having a motivation to do. Curious "barbell jump squats" as in weight? Thanks'!

[@irvin5623]

[@FunkRoberts]

Thanks

[@wezzzirrr]

Awesome, thanks Funk! Wish my gym had huge open spaces and concrete walls to do some of those. Notice theres no room in most gyms for these metabolic workouts??

[@FunkRoberts]

Yes I hear you, that's why I stay away from commercial gyms, but if there is a will there is a way..find a small space and GET IT DONE! - NO Excuses or complaining…Success Trains…Failure Complains! - Funk

[@jrufus11]

Nice exercises

[@FunkRoberts]

Thanks

[@lordbryson]

I was wondering what is Scoop hopping? the translation doesnot give me an idea what im try to do, I been looking for that all the day.

[@Sirx666]

how many sets how many reps or how long should every exercise be made?

[@gangvacos]

Respect Funk !! im going to try these exercises!!!! greeting from Vienna

[@FunkRoberts]

Definitely - remember to progress to these movements and ensure you have solid prerequisite upper body and lower body strength to perform them - Funk

[@emm589]

excellent, some you can even do it without equipment....

[@FunkRoberts]

Definitely do some with out equipment which is the great thing about plyometrics- Funk

[@CkbetterTV]

einfach nice dein Post wieder mal ON POINT

[@francolpz123]

[@FunkRoberts]

[@z_linecombatsports]

Plyometric is absolutely used for mma 😂 GSP greatest to ever done it. Good stuff funk

[@HANDLERofKNIFE]

Can you do the jump squats with a vest or with dumbells? Barbell seems a bit too risky since if you fuck up the movement once you could really injure your back. Weighted squats even without the jump can be really risky if you do them explosively. Slow and controlled squats are completely different story tho.

[@darksaintxvi6914]

Don’t be so weak. There’s a thought.

[@ContraereaSerba]

Cool excercises! name of music?

[@user-ow9qn5fe2k]

Are you still alive

[@Clides-gg8ll]

Gonna start doing this twice a week! - a kendoka

[@user-vl2mr8en8d]

How many sets and reps?

[@jgoo7985]

Be in good shape prior to doing these kinds of things, otherwise, knee injury city!

[@baqikenny]

you should say do a lot of general preparations to get started, and do general warm up properly before everything (not directly doing these to warm up)

[@KZ_MMA_]

Nope, just low intensity, low weight, and low reps. And be warm

[@lnedelcu66]

BB jump squat it is with hight risck for joints and spine, especialy after you jump few times, in my opinion.

[@FunkRoberts]

Yes definitely an advanced movement. I wouldn't suggest to any ordinary person but fighters with base strength that have to move explosively should be able to do this, after mastering the bodyweight squat, regular barbell squat and light BB Jump Squats! But if you have joint and back problems then fighting is probably not for you - Funk

[@lnedelcu66]

Everry professional sportsman have health problems and fighters more than others.

[@js83]

Lucian Nedelcu I've done BB jump squats for years and never had an injury from it...but my form is good and I only do it with light weights...

[@Jvirus12]

Lucian Nedelcu Well, not that fighters WANT health problems but there is an inherent risk that they accept.

[@lnedelcu66]

If you cross on red light every day maybe you are lucky to be alive but shit happened. Like a pro you asume risk on competitions nott in training sesions

[@danielheslehurst2848]

What about burpees?

[@coolbian513]

Well Done, but dude, jump squats with the bar!! dangerous for knees.

[@CrashJackExtreme]

why? not for beginners

[@coolbian513]

CrashJackExtreme good point, as long as u dont use a lot of weight ,

[@bextings7479]

I'd say it may be better done with a weight vest.

[@user-il3pj5iy3y]

sir... technically, that's not even skipping

[@carolk.romero3659]

To raise your vertical leap, you must understand correct principles, correct practices & techniques with the right nutrition plan

[@RebeccaRGallo]

The typical misstep that a large amount of obese folks stumble on each time they make an attempt to shed unwanted weight is to follow strict diet. After that, they realize no matter how hard they fight, the result they are searching for will not appear.

[@donluchitti]

you wouldn't qwant to give up the juice and tell us youyr set and rep scheme do ya?

[@Commievn]

I know right ? But my guess is work until near failure and do it each exercise for 2-3 sets.

[@jackfrost1793]

Most of them exercises look so exhausting that I'm tired just from watching them.

[@The-Contractor]

Total crap and Funk is clueless. NONE of the exercises were performed in anything like a plyometric manner. The transition for all the exercises is entirely too SLOW. Research plyometrics via Sports Science sources and learn to to it right.
