@CoachRichter1 Knee angle when we do Plyos - specifically depth jumping Also the plant leg in the approach

@AntCockrill Coach! Hoping for some insight, after listening to your podcast episode on Coach em’ up I was curious about 120* in your jump approach emphasis. Are you talking about the shin angle, hip/spine angle, or both? Just want to check to clarify? Or maybe I’m way off!

If you want to cultivate a culture that values health and wellness, put them in an environment that doesn’t allow them to fail Easy place to start is the Locker Room Surrounding athletes with Belvita Bars, Rice Crispy Treats, Core Power Shakes, etc. is negligent behavior

Stretch Shortening Cycle Emphasis A1) Squat - Weight Releasers - Drop/Catch A2) Penta Jump - Hurdles On the spectrum of General to Specific: - Specific = use SSC - General = develop structures that make up the SSC

@rickmerriam @l33tlete I agree about the feet but I have little to no control over the footwear in college athletics. As far as the lift hurting the back, there inherent risk with everything. If there is a fear of injury, do not play sports

I get what u're doing. But watch ur feet, pelvis, and lumbar spine. The lift starts with ur feet. If u wear flat, flexible shoe that allows for ground feel, and focus on pushing ur feet through ground, u'll recruit more. Doing lift the way u showed will lead to low back injury.

Functional Isometrics Maximal Motor Unit Recruitment Heavy Partial + Overcoming Isometric Concentric RFD: A1) Functional Isometric A2) Seated Box Jump

Full Session - Concentric Emphasis “Strength” Day A1) Deadlift - Below The Knee B1) Seated Overhead Press - Bandbell B2) Pendlay Row C1) Squat - Single Leg Hard for me to quantify a need for more than this in an hour session twitter.com/AntCockrill/st…

@l33tlete Functional Isometric is the “type” of exercise. A concentric partial rep for 2-4 inches followed by an overcoming isometric. Can probably do any movement with this

@AntCockrill Can you explain this exercise a little more? Is Functional Isometric the exercise or a description of types of exercise?

Power Resisted Bounds Un-resisted Bounds To 5-Step Accel Impressive for a Middle Blocker

Concentric Rate Of Force Development Pause Squat - Chains - .5-.75 m/s Extended pauses in the most disadvantageous range of the lift, attempting to overcome inertia as fast as possible relative to the load
