How to Incorporate Plyometrics Into Training (4 Methods, with Demos) | CSCS Chapter 18

[@Moniiiqueee824]

Whenever I did these exercises, especially box squats, my coach would always remind us to jump back down instead of stepping backwards to prevent injuries. This video helped me understand the reasoning behind that and gave me clarity on what I was doing back then. Thanks for the video Dr.Goodin!!

[@laurenwahl9715]

Dr. Goodin, It is interesting the way you explained the different versions of the jumps. Box jumps are something I have always enjoyed but never fully understood, and your demonstrations were incredibly helpful.

[@miadenava585]

Thank you for demonstrating the four techniques for integrating plyometric exercises into training routines. This video was very helpful!

[@mollytucker567]

The demonstrations within the video were super helpful, so thank you for including those!

[@abartsch0022]

Nice moves on the boxes and I like how you made them all very easy to understand and easy to see how those factors alter the intensity of the exercise.

[@devynpryor8228]

I loved that you included the split screen, so we could have a visual example as you were explaining.

[@AylethLizarraga]

The demostrations tied everything together! This video was great in explaining how changing the methods can alter the results of the plyometric exercises

[@ellieconiaris9073]

Really helpful to have video examples of the exercises being explained!

[@jakegellatlyperformance]

Loved seeing the box jump where you did the eccentric portion of the jump with dumbbells in your hands then released the dumbbells before the concentric portion of the jump! This is a great way to begin to overload these jumps before fully jumping with more weight then just your body weight.

[@jupshaw]

This video gave me a great outline for how I can create plyometric programs or implement them into a traditional strength program.

[@cameransherwood5157]

The visual of the track athlete for the second method, speed of approach, was really helpful for me! Makes sense, the faster you do these movements, the more power you can store and use to create more force just like the longer and faster you stretch a rubber band the harder it will snap.

[@moirabryson5042]

I like how you explained how modifying these different aspects can alter our intensity, force production, as well as stability. Thank you!

[@lexireynish5892]

Thank you for including videos of different variations of plyometrics! This was really helpful in understanding the concept as a whole.

[@myawilliams8357]

I like how you gave us examples through out the video and then at the very end too

[@thelmasepulveda4481]

The demonstration of each alteration of plyometric movements at the end of the video helped me better understand each alteration because I am a more visual learner. It is important to understand each section because each athlete will require different plyometric movements in their training program.

[@charmenatchison854]

Thanks so much for showing examples of the exercises. I needed the visuals in my memory.

[@NoelleDarquea]

Loved all of the demonstrations. Can't wait to practice plyometric training at the gym

[@macynunez4455]

I appreciate you demonstrating the different ways to alter intensity with different plyometric exercises, it always helps me to visualize movements.

[@madelinehernandez8838]

I really like how you showed examples of all of these jumps! Having visual examples makes me learn and process things better.

[@emilywalker9462]

Thank you for the demonstrations. What a great reminder to start incorporating them into my own training!

[@ryanharris8481]

I appreciate the demonstrations, they helped show how we can change up the methods of different plyometric exercises

[@bensonmutuvi8429]

Super helpful with the addition of examples and separation of topics.

[@chynnakifer1218]

I like how you had a caption for each example so we know what to be looking for in order to perform them correctly! Thank you!

[@karatemplin]

I really loved the videos within the videos to help walk us through the concepts.

[@celinegriffin3244]

The countermovement jumps you showed at the end were really good and I was able to understand what you meant for using both legs you go at a lower speed and low height and then adding an extra box you go for a higher speed and higher height

[@jakegonzales1367]

Thank you for actually showing examples of the different plyometrics techniques.

[@kylesands9693]

Really cool to see all the different variations of jumps here! I am sure Jake will now try every one of these, he really loves his plyos. Eats them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

[@everoche3754]

Thank you for giving us examples of these movements! The countermovement jump was a super interesting movement for me to study in biomechanics to see which muscles were working and also clearly see the potentiation of energy.

[@julianasum8481]

I really enjoyed the demos of all the movements, it helped give me a visual to what you were explaining.

[@morganrolleri9198]

This visuals in this video were so helpful and gave me a much better understanding.

[@mrtibbsincali]

Thanks!

[@torilucht5871]

The 4 different ways to increase a plyometric drill are all super helpful to know and it is cool to see how variable plyometrics can be for each individual!

[@madelinejewelnebril2871]

I really appreciate the demonstrations as it helped me connect and understand the four methods you discussed in the video.

[@matthewwadley4348]

The visual representations of the exercises was fun to see and actually have some sort of visualization when talking about plyometrics

[@sarahcox-barden]

I am definently saving this video for future ideas and tips!

[@zoiezantua7002]

Great demonstrations of the different plyometric variations, will definitely try these soon!

[@tianguyen3897]

I enjoyed that this video was straight to the point and how the videos on the side provided examples of what you were saying about the plyometric training.

[@wyattcarlson7504]

I really enjoyed this video as it gave me different aspects that can be modified in plyometrics training. Also the demonstrations in the video were awesome!

[@braedenmoore3743]

Thank you for demonstrating each of the plyometric exercises you explained throughout the course of the video series.

[@dimitricarrion6145]

The demonstration videos going on at the same time as you were explaining the exercise was helpful

[@makennakaczmarczyk7563]

The video examples helped me better understand how to correctly incorporate plyometric exercises!

[@joyshang5670]

I liked how there are many ways to implement plyometrics into a workout routine!

[@clairemasterson6031]

The visual examples are always so helpful with understanding!

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

I appreciated the demonstrations for all of the methods.

[@willhopkins4197]

I really liked the demonstrations off to the side of the video. Really helped me visualize everything you were explaining!

[@DevanneyBoyd]

I will definitely incorporate some of these exercises into my training.

[@kieranmccarty4050]

Thank you for showing real life videos for the examples. Great video Dr. Goodin!

[@evaozimec]

It was very helpful to see the example videos as you were explaining the movement.

[@rozalynnlarson8835]

It was helpful to see the split screen of the exercise being performed while it was being explained

[@alannabergherm8046]

The visuals and examples of the 4 methods of plyometrics were helpful in realizing just how easy it is to incorporate these into one's training!

[@emmasanchez5975]

I really liked seeing the videos while you were explaining each part because it helped me understand it better.

[@MatthewDuPrey325]

I really found the demonstrations to all be very useful for me.

[@audreyoates3242]

I appreciate your videos demonstrating the exercises, visuals are so important for understanding the movement patterns and technique/form!

[@melanieweirich8482]

I liked the idea of adjusting body weight in terms of adjusting the plyometric exercises. Using things like a weighted vest or maybe a dumbbell is a great idea.

[@BrianaReynoso]

As a visual learner, I really enjoyed the implementation of video examples

[@ameliabrock]

I love the consideration for athletes of different weights; I’m sure it would be easy to get discouraged as an obese or heavier patient because they feel like they should be doing more, so it’s important that they also understand that weight is an intensity factor :)

[@lioncub41]

What a sweet intro! Just that alone is going to make you youtube famous!

[@ClaireStone-jq4wg]

I have always been curious about how exactly to progress plyometric training since it isn't as simple as adding more weight like in weight training, so this video and the explanations of the four ways were insightful.

[@thomaskinzler]

I had always thought about one-legged exercises being more important because they require you to generate enough force to move your body using half of the musculature as a double-legged, but it is clear that the pieces about landing on one foot requiring more stability and force absorption is very intriguing.

[@lucamarin8565]

Very cool visuals on the split screen

[@TRamos-pl6oo]

being able to physically see an example of these methods was super helpful

[@isabellecousineau302]

I really like the video visuals you included.

[@dereklinck2672]

Great videos examples of the different types of countermovements jumps! I did jump for height with dumbells for 3 months in HS as was able to go from touching the rim as a 5"11 to dunking a ball, they are very helpful.

[@caleighgarcia7792]

I love seeing the video examples. They give me a better idea of what plyometrics should look like and potentially how I can integrate them into my own workouts.

[@hannahb872]

The depth drops look similar to drills my old high school coach used to make us do during weight lifting sessions on off season. We had a line of box jumps set up down the hall and they were all at varying levels in order to challenge us in our power and speed. I liked seeing the visual demonstrations! Appreciate it!

[@avajgallo]

Love the visuals this helps a lot!

[@iNoRiJoY13]

Great video and nice intro!!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Thanks Inori!

[@oliviadyck510]

Woah, I have done box jumps before but never on one leg! The way you demo-ed that just made my leg hurt watching it. I think this is an exercise I will have to try out the next time I do plyometric stuff!

[@joshuawada8783]

At 6:04 the added weight while you lower your body helps to activate your muscles more! I never even thought to use that for a plyometric exercise! For anyone else that didn't know what plyometric means, here's a quick refresher. Plyometrics are exercises that use short bursts of energy to increase power and agility of muscle contractions. Back to the exercise though. What would that exercise be called? I would love to do more research into this to increase my vertical.

[@VirAquinoPLNU]

I really like all the demonstrations! im curious about the one where you dropped the weight, could you explain that?

[@brysonhashimoto2878]

I found it very interesting how speed of the approach greatly effects how a plyometric is performed. I believe that if one had a running start into a broad jump, they would jump farther in comparison to completing a broad jump from a standstill.

[@joshcombs123]

It was good for me to learn about proper mechanics. I recently took a video of my CMJ and realized it was not the proper form so I was not getting out what I wanted.

[@strivemore]

Quality Dr. Goodin

[@estellesstories7467]

Terrific video. I just discovered your channel and am loving diving in. Quick question: which model of plyometrics box do you use? It looks like yours has adjustable risers with a small increment, which would be useful for single leg progressions. Thanks in advance, and happy new year!

[@bojak76]

These are great examples for the lower body plyometric drills. Are there any other lower body drills for a person who has an injured back (bulged disc) and the landing from a jump hurts the back too much?

[@SuperTroyAustin]

Dr. Goodin got the bunnies!

[@tolitosjones3431]

Great video doc! Quick question, what are the benefits of doing a depth jump with a weighted vest? wouldn't the vest make the amortization phase too long?

[@mikestatz5098]

Did you build your boxes? These would be great cost-efficient start up for a younger coach

[@austiniturbe4495]

What are the harms of just prioritizing 2 pt contact over 1 pt?

[@wyntonbrown9439]

Personally I really enjoy doing plyometrics with some lightly added weight
