Hey Matt, actually I'm a cricketer. So, someone told me that as a cricketer you shouldn't do bench press or excercises which causes hypertrophy of muscles like biceps, triceps and back or so. Is it important to not be bulky as an athlete..?

[@TheMovementSystem]

Actually hypertrophy training can be very beneficial for cricket so long as it's programmed well to translate to function and strength for cricket performance. My cricket program includes a phase of hypertrophy. www.themovementsystem.com/12-week-cricket-program-info-page

On a serious note: I have noticed I always feel like I perform absolutely dominantly when I do juijitsu immediately after a hard strength session. Especially after a good overloading clean/deadlift session. Would you personally say this potentiation effect described in this video may actually be a primary reason?

[@TheMovementSystem]

There could be a number of factors. Potentiation is one factor also there is readiness from a psychological standpoint. As well as fatigue. If you're doing a strength session with the right variables (ex: power focus, low volume, etc.) a lot of these factors work together to improve readiness

What about doing plyometrics the day before a game? If I remember correctly, it could decrease my power/ vertical jump by a certain percentage
