Let's get started....

What are true, fast SSC plyometrics?

3

Here are my 4️⃣ key programming principles for plyometric training

4

To program effectively, we must understand the intensity of our available exercises

So.... how do we define PLYOMETRIC INTENSITY?

How should we tier our exercise selection for optimal and safe progression?

5

Some more heuristics to guide your understanding of plyometric intensity

How should we progress and periodise plyometrics?

The 4-phase approach offers a granular approach to exercise progression and overall periodisation.

8

What are the differences between EXTENSIVE and INTENSIVE plyometric training phases?

The table below breaks it down
