Plyometric Training Explained In Depth

This is an in-depth introduction to plyometric training. Plyometric training is training that uses the stretch-shortening cycle. This means the muscle lengthens immediately prior to contracting to deliver explosive movement. Plyometric training is useful for athletes, martial artists, regular folk, and anyone that wants to move more quickly and more powerfully.
There is some confusion regarding precisely what plyometric training is/isn't and when to use it. In this video, I explore the optimal rest times between sets, how plyometrics differ from ballistic training, complex training, rate of force production, and more.
Enjoy!

You can train explosiveness however some people really are more explosive without training

Anybody can train for it, some people are genetically more explosive without training than others that don't train for it though. I'm kind of one of those, I can not work out for a pretty long time, and my stamina and muscular endurance will go straight to crap, but I'll still be able to sprint short distances, change direction, and jump pretty well, it's just something I've always been able to do.

[@dennisdimensions987]

Can you do a video on how to work all your muscles in body and having even amounts fast twitch slow twitch muscles. Also Having equal coordination, having a balance between flexibility and muscle having a good mind and muscle cordination.(basically having the most well rounded body) And how you could apply all of this to your training. Another thing I think you should touch on is dieting and how the most well rounded body would look like. I know a video that pretty much touches on everything would long but I would watch it all the way through or you can make series instead. Btw I recently subscribed and I absolutely love your vids.

[@WannabeSuperSoldier]

In regards to rest sets for plyometrics or any power related movements I believe Dr Andy Galpin had mentioned the use of cluster sets as being beneficial. As I interpret cluster sets its the act of doing 3 micro sets of perhaps 3 reps, resting for 30 seconds in between, then after those 3 sets are concluded taking a 2-3 minute rest in between the clusters. I like the idea of doing it this way because I feel such a lull in training if I only perform 3 box jumps and then sit around for several minutes.
