"Jump Around"

bill fox · 05-04-2006, 09:56 AM

Jumping/lower body exposiveness, however you want to say it, is my clear weakness. So in the spirit of work your weakness:

100 plyo jumps 18" box
75 tuck jumps
50 broad jumps (4')
25 lunge jumps (switching feet each jump mid-air)

13:32

Next time maybe 125 squats to start and go for sub 15:00. Just doing it pretty much straight through felt pretty good.

That looks pretty good, Bill. I might have to try that out.

Bill, that sounds like a great workout. For me, that would be a lot more "cardio' than explosive though. To work on maximal explosiveness, you could try a "density" style jump workout, a little less volume, but focusing on full power each jump. I use this approach to work in a few explosive movements in a single wrokout. They dont loose their "max output" (much), and the cumulative effect is pretty good.

Either way, great job.

You're totally right. It's a metcon/explsiveness workout. I'm just trying to add jumping in where I can. Yesterday I did 25 sets of 5 kipping pullups and 5 jumps to a 20" box.

But over the weekend I did more what your talking about. I took my 20lb D-ball and did about 20 sets of 3 "wall ball" throws but to a 15' target so each was an all out jump and deep squat.

Why don't you try playing beachvolleyball occasionally to improve your jumping?

PS. keep posting, you're an inspiration
