Glad you mentioned the rest time of 2 to 3 minutes when using potentiation, I’ve seen a lot of coaches utilize different movements one right after the other, when the research does say optimal time is between one and three minutes, excellent video

[@ianbrussolo7623]

i guess it depends on the load and rep range youre doing on that first one. for less load, rest less idk tho, might be wrong

[@PauloJorgeRussoGago]

It really depends on you initial fatigue levels and what type of condition contraction. Potentiation and fatigue are both present after a Conditioning contraction and the timing is really subjective. I would recommend an 10 s isometric condition contraction instead of dynamic and Start testing what is you optimal post CC timing. We have seen PAP effect directly after CC like 30 sec efter

[@cellomovious_former]

But can i superset the lower and upper body?

[@zaynassi4751]

[@GarageStrength]

YES

[@taylor111825]

i gotta say coach miller, you're the best strength coach out right now. seeing the geniune passion you have for coaching, the amount of free gems you drop, how well your content is produced, and your personality is entertaining! i'm a 26 year old S&C coach in alabama, you inspire me to learn more and get better ever day. i dont know if you'll see this but thank you for all you do bro!🙏

[@philtrysstrongman]

Taking this into my training as of tomorrow I lack explosiveness massively in my training and events

[@SamuelgStafford23]

Great vid, to be honest I found this a lot more informative than your past videos and love the format

[@PauloJorgeRussoGago]

Nice one. It would not hurt to test other Condition contraction such as an 10 isometric contraction in a mid range position. We used this typ of short CC in some of our studies with real nice PAP levels. As you mention the timing from CC to post rep is really important and super subjective so it is a trial and error thing. I would recommend short Isometric condition contraction and start testing directly efter the CC ( like 30 s after) and adjusting as needed

[@seifullaah73]

Very helpful and informative videos. Love the sprint specific videos being a sprinter. I lack in getting my body at an angle at the statt and may be a quad issue and your video about that is awesome and looking to implement it. My squats is bad as I always end up injuring my hips when deep, front or back.

[@jiujitsuismyoutlet]

You’re a legend of the strength and conditioning industry. Thank you Dane for the great video and information

[@Deviousspk]

Love the sound effects on squats🤣

[@DrEgonCholakian]

What helped me build some explosiveness in my legs was water exercises, Frog jumping is also really good but its bad for your joints in the long term.

[@devondefreitas3520]

Hey Dane, great vid! I was wondering your take on the opposite situation: an athlete with good explosiveness but abysmal absolute strength? I’d assume these would be injury prone athletes?

[@zackhurwitz9441]

I'm not Dane, but I am someone who fell somewhat into this category when I first started training. This is my thoughts and anecdotal experiences. I wouldn't say my absolute strength was abysmal, and I wasn't injury prone relative to how much training I was doing. But it was very disproportionate. Quick twitch still out leverages all other aspects of my performance, but I'm more balanced now. The biggest difference comes in cardio. My body had no idea how to utilize oxygen for intense, long distance running. The best way I found to get better at both is to literally train in the middle. Grappling, metcons, farmer and yoke carries, sled work and barbell complexes and circuits, etc. Constant tension and exertion, with very little rest. It's mostly to do with athletic experience, and some genetic predisposition. It's super common for football players to be very explosive, so their numbers in the weight room can be very misleading. They move big weights very quickly, but they're just basically pure quick twitch. The majority are basically novice weight lifters, who do just enough strength work to count as prehab. With the majority of time being allocated to football specific drills.

[@JuggoJuggo]

You forgot the #1 reason why we lose explosiveness, getting old. Explosiveness is my dead lift problem, if I can get it 5 inches off the floor, I can lock it out, but getting all those muscles to fire at the bottom is my problem. I started doing high bar pause squats that I try to explode out of the hole as fast as possible, I think I will incorporate some box jumps too like you said here.

[@tomberwick1044]

Have you tried adding pulse reps focusing on the bottom/beginning of a movement?

[@gauravpasi9947]

[@prathamharshana1059]

Hey coach please make a video on the topic powerlifting

[@aspazzz]

Pause squats are underrated

[@omarelfarouk818]

I am a martial artist I heard about the contrast training and I tried it a week ago. What I did is : - To improve my punching speed I did 90% RM bench press and then I did Bench press throws with a light weight 40% RM ( unlike what is mentioned on the articles I am alternating Strength with Ballistic training not plyometric ) - For kicking I did 90% RM back squat then 40% RM jumping squat Will my method work? or I need to alternate Strength with plyometric?

[@GarageStrength]

that seems solid! you could try working in some plyometric work! maybe depth drops, hurdle hops, and single leg stair jumps!

[@nathans.2827]

Coach can I do body weight in between weight sets, for example: Back Squat 12 reps; rest 1 minute. body weight squats 30 seconds. Rest, repeat.

[@GarageStrength]

you could, absolutely! Check out this video for other examples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXS5nIuhq8SCgKM&ab_channel=GarageStrength

[@MushroomNinja]

Coach, I know it might be a silly question but if you’re doing contrast training would it be safe to do plyos like box jumps in lifting shoes or is it safer to do them in cross trainers since they aren’t as “blocky”?

[@rosswaller1427]

This is anecdotal but check out this video with some jumping in lifters: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYvIh2mNZrt4pa8 If you're comfortable with it get after it.

[@spud1300]

DYNAMIC… TRUNK…. CONTROL… hahaha love it

[@CRUSHED_GREMLIN_RL]

I train for strength with my bodyweight as i don't have access to extra weights, i do eccentric & concentric combined, I do 3/4 sets of chinups, every set consists 2 reps(I can do more but that's too much for me 😅)...every rep of chinup takes 9-12 seconds, i do that much slow, i do pushups too, the eccentric part takes 8 seconds, in that speed i can do 4/5 reps in 1 set... I'm not that experienced, I'm a beginner, am i doing wrong if I'm looking strength build? With that method? I started this training at home around 2 months ago. I used to do eccentric push-ups only, now i do chinups and explosive squats too(can do 25 reps if i push myself too much without that i can do 18-21) currently. Oh also i do isometric for the specific range of motions where i feel I'm weak 1 more thing, i start my every rep of chinups from dead hang position, which means my hands are then 90 degrees Any advice would be great. Just to let u guys understand my level, It's like i could do around 12 normal chinups when I didn't used to practice, and i could do 26-28 normal pushups without any prior practice...

[@vaportrailsracing]

If I don’t have stairs at my gym, what would you recommend?

[@cellomovious_former]

Do long jumps,

[@petonv8712]

is there any reason to zombie squat if you can comfortably front rack?

[@GarageStrength]

Could still be beneficial to reinforce the feeling of an upright torse!

[@romellojames6690]

[@jamesmichael7448]

If you cannot easily get access to stairs is there a good alternative for stir jumps?

[@pinkwanderlust593]

hmm probably box jumps!

Do you guys use isometrics at all in your training? if so can you do a video on them.

[@GarageStrength]

We absolutely use isometrics! We typically reserve these for accessory work after the main lifts are done!

[@SwimmingBird13]

that shirt though

[@thek002]

dude, that's a cool shirt

[@reemobrooklyn3557]

[@gjergjkastrioti1688]

"Explosiveness" or the ability to quickly recruit motor units to express strength is overwhelmingly a function of genetics; it cannot be trained to a significant degree. That being said, simple physics tells us that work is dependent upon force generated and the time it takes to do so. If you can't train acceleration or reduce that time component, the simple solution is to increase the force generation potential. Ergo, the man with a 500 pound deadlift can clean more than a man with a 200 pound deadlift.
