Bro your channel is insane,keep the great work.underrated af.hope people recognize true sport science channels like yours

[@josemarialaguinge]

Underrated channel, been watching a lot of your videos, keep up the great work man.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

will do 👍

Would High load & High Velocity work? For instance: 90-95% Bench Press for 2 reps, followed by 4 Jab-Cross punches on a heavy bag.

[@colinreid2346]

never thought of that, that's genius lol

[@nickdreezy2457]

So would this apply to why we see improvement in performance when we do something like a 125% 1 RM walk out on the barbell back squat and statically holding it followed by our normal working sets? Or maybe why some athletes do something dribble with a ball that’s heavier or doesn’t have as much grip to improve their normal handle? Essentially doing something more difficult to make what you’re actually aiming to improve feel easier?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

possibly. This could also be a psychological thing too 👍

[@matthewsum1752]

I don’t think the walkout thing actually works cause your not yeah

[@MushroomNinja]

@FlowHighPerformance1 I trust your channel more than almost on this platform since you do quote studies but I wanted to ask even though this vid has been out for a while, why do you think most coaches on KZbin call for their athletes/trainees to have a rest period of 10-50 seconds between the strength exercise and the plyometric/ballistic exercise? Did the study or follow up studies ever call for such a short resting phase? It seems like it makes more sense to rest 2-4 or 4-10 than just a few seconds, I mean you are doing a max effort after all. Their argument is to “catch” the pap phase. Not sure if that’s broscience like the infamous anabolic window for food that was previously thrown around or something that’s been proven recently

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Yes, longer rest periods are probably better. Although people may practically recommend shorter rest periods for time-efficiency purposes 👍

[@MushroomNinja]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 you’re a real one, thank you for your response 💪🏻

[@marcelorobert8546]

Can the employee also do the bench press at 85-95% and then reduce the bench press load to 50% to make it more explosive?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

yes, but you'd probably want to do something that is ballistic - like a throw

[@appleb0mb599]

thanks man really helpful

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

No problem 👍

[@blainefoster12]

Is it possible to ask for the references to the sources you got this information from?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

This is from a combination of research papers, books and listening to other experts in the field. Check out this research review for a good overview pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26508319/

[@proverbalizer]

so why don't olympic high jumpers and long jumpers do this?....if it really woks for increasing vertical jump you think you would see squat bars in the warm up area

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Yes, that is what I wonder too. I'd assume a proper warm-up will provide some sort of potentiation effect too 👍
