big boys and back flips....

[crew9]

explosion comes from within

it can not be taught

Maybe so but everyone can do it. Some just better than others.

There is a genetic component in it, CNS firing speed and muscle makeup, but everyone can improve their power by increasing strength and off course the stretch reflex with plyos

Olylifts are basicly like weighted plyos, if done properly that is

DOing a backflip takes guts that's for sure

I dont think so. I wish it were so.

I have met FEW people in reality that can explode the way I can.

Your a trained athelete in a sport that requires explosion. I'm emphasizing the trained better. You can train people to be more explosive. If not then what's the point of bands or chains etc.

Who is Shane Hammond? I have never heard of him before! If all reported is true then that is truly amazing. Imagine a 5'7'' guy weighing 350 pounds dunking on you. I would not like to try and take a charge that's for sure. A Career ender!

Still not sold that the OL lifts are going to make anyone an explosive person...

B True

Maybe more so than without them...

I for one have "credit card" hops...me no can jump very high! I played volleyball in high school and could hit the shit out of the ball but it usually ended up out of the court! I've been tinkering around with Oly lifts for a bit and am a little curious if my vertical jump has improved at all. I just like the challenge of nailing the lifts...and enjoy the great workout.

Like CCJ said, "Olylifts are basicly like weighted plyos, if done properly that is." The very nature of Oly lifts are to improve explosiveness, which can be taught if one is willing to learn. I'm not sure if this alone will allow you to do back flips, technique comes into play.

Olylifts will only help if your weakness is explosive strength.

Plyos will train other attributes etc

Olylifts definietly improve quickness and agility off the mark. First step speed etc . very noticable for me

I was explosive before I ever trained. I dunked a basketball when I was 5'9 in 8th grade. When I trained my explosive natural ability sky rocketed.

The average athlete will experience growth from olympic lifting but will never become truly explosive. Bands and chains can aid an athlete but will not make one explosive.

I understand that there are exceptions to every rule. Find me one besides Adam Archuletta.
