Fatigue Yourself To Jump Higher

Fatigue Yourself To Jump Higher

So the sequence was 40 min of the single leg drops superset with the band accel deep squat depth drops with the BB

Then sprints after that

Into the slow lower to raise front squats

And then single leg glute hammies to finish

One of the best methods I’ve found to increase bounciness - we do something that is muscularly very challenging

And pair it with something that has a high level of impact

For example in this session

The depth drops squats felt more muscular due to the way i was doing them - the feel of being able to absorb the impact into my muscle tissue, without any real “jerk” or jolt - that was why the weight was so low, pure focus on that - like literally feeling my muscles slide underneath the skin to clean take and absorb that force fully into the muscle

Then we come back that with the depth drops

So it’s like muscles are to some level fatigued, then we ask those to turn on fast to support the rapid impact, gets shot into the tendon

Pretty cool cause the impact seems to recover the muscle to some degree when we ask it to contract that fast

So then it’s like this cycle or process where we can exhaust muscular, regen with impact, and get some good really tendon or bouncy adaptations out of it

Can be done with upper half too

Which is practically applicable to throwers

Was fairly surprised how clean i was able to get the 275 on the front squats after 40 min of work already and 6 flying sprints

Then of course some hammy torture to finish lolol

Really good session for the bounce
