How to bound correctly to increase your vertical leap

Bounding is an intense plyometric that teaches the athlete how to apply a lot of force fast. It utilizes the stretch shortening cycle. The focus should be on extending the leg in unison with an aggressive arm swing and leg drive. The faster the run up the shorter the ground contact times will be.

I would like a podcast in which you talk about how to train to sprint faster. Love your content!

Best coach in the game! If you aren’t signed up for THPStrength you need to be!

Hey coach, In the bodyweight training episode of your podcast you mentioned that bringing weightlifting too early into your training phase can reduce your ceiling. When do you recommend that someone(particularly a high jumper) starts lifting weights? I also might have misunderstood the statement.

[@JohnEvans]

Yeah it can, but it’s impact is pretty negligent all things considered.

Can you do video on depth jumps

What does bounding specifically do to help your vertical

[@andresposada7064]

Hey John, thanks for the content. I'm a book guy, and I'm wondering if you could recommend any books on strength and power training that you particularly like. (For what it's worth, I'm a beach volleyball player) Gotta get some more knowledge before I can invite myself on the podcast 🏐💪😁

Is playing basketball and doing vertical jump training in concrete bad for the joints? Been training like that for a while but how bad it is?

[@Hotjay_Workintho]

Hey John two Question: What is deload and taper? Especially taper? And how do I increase my max on squats and cleans? For example if I want to jump my 240lbs squat max to 315lbs and hang clean 135lbs to 200lbs what I got to do? Will be grateful and appreciated it if u reply.

[@MurderousMagician]

Would the concept of hitting the ground instead of letting the ground hit you apply to all plyometric exercises (depth jumps, hurdle hops, etc)?

[@eduardomoreira7624]

Yes because you want to be prepared to jump before and spend as little time as possible on the ground

Yessir helps a ton!

Is this considered an advanced plyo? Is it even a plyo under 0.5 secs or less?

[@JohnEvans]

WAY under.
