Extensive Plyometrics | The Key to Vertical Jump Gains
Here’s the secret recipe for “I have shin splints and my vertical jump won’t go up””:
📊 Only do approach jumps.
Approach jumps load the muscles and bones in a very specific way.
📉 You can probably only handle maybe 20-30 in one session. (Even that’s a lot for most people)
But when we vary the landing forces and positions of the body, we can handle a MUCH higher volume of plyometrics.
📈 So incorporate extensive plyometrics with higher variability and keep the relatively few approach jumps that you do maximal intent and high quality.
