Plyometric Progressions Levels 1-5:
Level 1: Designed for everyone and to be sustained indefinitely at 5 minutes daily. Extensive plyos, exemplified by jump rope exercises, serve as essential tissue preparation, even adopted by NFL athletes during the off-season. Variations include split pogos, forward hops, and backward hops, with a focus on maintaining tissue readiness.
Level 2: Introduces alternating pogo hops to vertical jumps. Mastery of this level is crucial before advancing to repeated hurdle hops, avoiding prolonged ground contact time.
Level 3: Incorporates bounding exercises, urging smooth execution within individual capabilities.
Level 4 Delves into single leg hopping at different heights (ankle, knee, maximal), emphasizing smoothness and introducing band assistance when needed.
Level 5 Explores maximal distances through repeated broad jumps for height or length and maximal single leg hopping. The progression is showcased with cycle single leg hops in the B-roll footage, capturing the essence of achieving explosive power in plyometric training.

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

got jumpers knee from those intense single leg hops. 'The best way to progress plyos is to stay healthy'... I need to hear that earlier.

[@kennethswan8455]

Great Breakdown Matt!💪🏾

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!

[@boleirofit]

Muito bom o vídeo!!!

[@notoriousbigd1279]

Where would Depth drops/jumps be?

[@DaveFromVh1]

Nah, you know what.. this guy is alright in my book!! He provides some solid advice!!

[@GSH924]

You could arguably add a level 6, which would be something like alternating max height with max distance or something like 2 forwards 1 backwards. Matt McInnes Watson says those multidirectional ones at max intensity might be the peak for plyos

[@redred333]

really cool.

[@jonathanklatt1383]

could you do some strenght and prevention exercises for volleyball players?

[@ncbrown100]

Matt, any good resources you would recommend to dive deeper into these concepts?

[@julian2719]

Is this a good addition to prevent shin splints from long distance running? I already do specific stretching and strength exercises but I'm interested in this as an addition.

[@aris_en]

Is there somewhere we can find more information on the recommended isometrics?

[@MagnaniGustavo]

How many variations would you recommend for someone starting out? I’ll be incorporating 20-40 box jumps 1x a week right before my max effort squat day (I’m doing Powerbuilding Conjugate Training), because I want to get bigger, stronger and more athletic. Is that a solid start?

[@Anonymous-jy3ek]

How many weeks to spend on each level ?

[@KGRAO2047]

❤ is there any age limits to do plyometrics. Can old people do it.

[@trbeyond]

Great video. When do you like to program these (eg pre run, post run, pre strength or post strength)?

[@TheMovementSystem]

Here's my set-up that I use: Monday: Power & Plyometrics (~100 jumps) Tuesday: Extensive Plyos (~5-10 mins) Thursday: Extensive Plyos (~5-10 mins) Saturday: Plyos (~80 jumps + 5 mins extensive) This is what's in our Hybrid Athlete program. It's a moderate amount of plyometrics. For our vertical jump program there are more per week.

[@trbeyond]

@@TheMovementSystem thanks! That’d be a lot for triathletes but I’ll certainly try to start including more explosive work this year

[@TheMovementSystem]

@@trbeyond Yea that's more than you'd need for triathlon. You could get a lot out of just 2-3 sessions/ week of 5-10 mins to support your endurance work.

[@robertmciver817]

Using a progression to intensify plyometrics is absolutely key. Otherwise tendinitis and injury are likely. Great job explaining plyometrics thoroughly!

[@abdouibrahimdaher3894]

​@TheMovementSystem if you are a beginner, what 'power' types of exercises should you be doing alongside plyos? Also is every day good to be doing plyos if you're a beginner starting out level 1?
