Menya Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 My club has plyometrics incorporated into the training schedule, however i often feel like doing them everyday. How often should i do these drills?Also, should i be doing the drills in no particular order or should it all be planned out? I have a medicine ball that i will include into the training.

todome Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Explosive power training is really only effective when the athlete is fresh. Sets should be short, stopping as soon as power diminishes and/or form breaks down. Rests between sets should allow plenty of time (eg. 2-3 minutes) for the athlete to return to full or near full strength. The athlete should only perform as many sets as can achieve maximum power. 2 or 3 sets of 3 or 4 exercises should about cover it.Recovery between sessions is critical so nothing more frequent than every other day so, ie to answer your question, IMO 2 to 3 times a week at the most.More than that and you're not training explosive power. Nothing wrong with that but there's no pointing pushing the string and calling it progress. we all have our moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menya Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks, im curious though...if you continue training even after the potential for explosive power exercise is done, what exactly are you training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todome Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Power endurance, mostly, which is not bad in itself but more effectively done with greater loads for longer sets than what is best for explosive power training. we all have our moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'd agree, don't do it every day. Take at least one rest day if not more inbetween training. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menya Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks for the advice both. Ill just have to fight the addiction, for awhile i was hooked on running but got shin splints. If you know any type of fitness i can do everyday let me know, besides working on technique, which i do often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If you want to be doing stuff everyday, try doing legs one day, upper body the next, then core. Just keep swapping what you're working on. Would still advise the odd day off though. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 If you want to do them everyday you can its not a problem.Look up Pavel Tsatouline 'Grease The Groove' Very good technique. Using it to work up to a one arm pull up and have made very good progress. The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
