Let's get started....

What are true, fast SSC plyometrics?


Eamonn Flanagan
@EamonnFlanagan
Here are my 4️⃣ key programming principles for plyometric training


Eamonn Flanagan
@EamonnFlanagan
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?


Eamonn Flanagan

How should we progress and periodise plyometrics?

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