More Reps ≠ work for plyo’s

As with many things in training, people complicate plyometrics. But a lot of great programs are built on simple jumps. In place jumps, bounds, hops, skips. The tool isn’t the point….the classification is. Extensive contacts build tolerance. Higher volume, lower intensity. Think pogo hops, rolling hops, power-speed drills Intensive jumps push force/reactivity. Lower volume, higher output. Think depth jumps, hurdle hops, single leg bounds Once you understand that difference, exercise selection get

One reason plyometrics get misused is because people don’t know exactly how to program them. Often people pick a jump, pick a number and Move on. But plyometric stress is shaped by a lot more than reps… Surface choice alone can change ground contact time, force rates and tissue cost. Drop height alters how much braking is required before repropulsion. Contact time, impulse, and force direction change which tissues are actually being stressed. Even coaching intent and foot positioning can turn th
