If I do plyometrics on my off day instead of rest & maybe add some swimming or the bike in every once in a while will I fuck myself up? Heres my split for a clearer view... Day 1 - Front and medial delts/bi/f-arms/abs What do u guys thinks? ------------------ IP: Logged |

I believe you should at least have one full rest day. Plyometrics are very stressful on the legs, I would decrease the volume on the legs. IP: Logged |

Rexie: Why are you doing plyometrics? What is your goal? Are you training for any specific sport? If you are what season are you in...off-season, pre-season, in-season??? ------------------ IP: Logged |

I'm doing plyometrics for explosive speed, explosive acceleration, and a higher verticle leap. I play ice hockey (center) and football (corner back & punt/kick return). I don't play football for my school(me and the coaches seem to have differnt views on my style...so I say fuck them. They'll be sorry) So I have no season for that. As for ice hockey, I do play for my school (but they give us jack shit). Right now I'm in my off-season, and around the start of August I'll be in pre-season. ------------------ IP: Logged |

You could try doing exercises that are functinal to your sport,Mr A knows alot about training.Since it's off season I would suggest working on your sport specific strenght,torso power,speed,agility,quickness,dynamic balance,aerobic fitness,anaerobic sprint endurance,flexibility,sport skills and mental skills. Alot of stuff but talk to someone who will adminster you exercises that give you the most bang for your buck. Body building exercises realy won't help ya out that much if you're really serious about your sport and want to improve then focus on what I've just said. IP: Logged |

Rexie: Here is a sample (off ice) hockey speed-strength and agility training program. All the areas Mac listed need to be addressed in your program. Pay particular attention to "core strengthening" the power hub of the body! 1. Warm-up and flexibility 2. Plyometric Training 3. Non-assisted agility drill 4. Assisted agility drills...none 5. Specialty drills 6. Running This program is something you would have to work your way into. You would do this program twice per week...Exp. Tues and Thurs. Your next problem is how to adjust your overall program. Plyometrics is an excellent mode of exercise to stimulate the nervous system. Plyometrics are the icing on the cake for athletes. Finally, don't forget to add some medicine ball training for the upper body and core. Good Luck! Your on Mac...figure out how to adjust his weight training schedule to allow for proper recouperation. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Mr America (edited June 20, 2000).] IP: Logged |

Thanx Mr A. I'm definatly going to incorperate that into my training. You came here from MM.com right? Good to have you and the rest of the guys from there over here. Can't wait to become a tank for next season. I'm gonna be so hard to get around that people will say "Number 37? I've gotten leveled by that kid. I hear they call him the Italian tank." Haha. Even if they don't say that they'll feel it. Thanx again. ------------------ IP: Logged |
