As a 2:35:00 marathoner and 33:00 min 10K runner in my 30's to mid 40's, I found these exercises to be very valuable as i began to lose my speed and endurance when i reached my 65-70 year age level. Doing these bounding drills will keep your leg spring vitality intact and add years to running enjoyably. I have completed in every Hood to Coast run which started in 1982 and I am still going to run HTC #39 in 2020. The overview was very complete and also adds a bit of caution so you don't incur an injury. Thank-you for an excellent presentation!
This is the best video I have seen on plyometrics. Professional, thorough, and with specifications. Very well explained and well-illustrated. I like the emphasis on progression.
So much value in one single video. I just realized I've been doing the wrong exercises for my current level (beginner). My knees are super thankful. Thank you!
I am a Taiwanese. I can't get too much information from your videos because I am not good at English but I can still learn something from some dynamic information. Thank you very much.
This was very informative. I'll definitely be utilizing forward hops, alternating bounds, and strike jumps in my sprinting routine. Thanks so much for the thorough and understandable breakdown.

Hi, this is Neil, Nan's husband. I'm looking to get back into TKD, and train for my 3rd dan. At 63 I've trained since I was 15, ex PTI, rugby, american football, aikido, judo, tang soo do, soccer, volleyball, mtb racer, triathlete etc, etc. 2008 I got a BAD injury, dynamic hip screw fitted, with groin complications etc. Be very interested in talking, if possible for some rehab/basic strength work, though I do do lots already! Thank you. Regards, Neil. Great video by the way.
Hello you're really interresting, good job ! Just about the OTG : his goal is not to limit the force of your muscle. He does a inhibition when you do a little force, so to control the movement. Its role is to modulate movement via inhibition on the motor units. (Pierrot-Deseilligny and Burke, 2005) It's what I understand, but I don't know studies about OTG and pliometric movement (where you have a lot of force and speed), if you have, I'm really interest ! Thank you =)
great content. maybe make a video on a full training plan for beginners, intermediate, advanced people that want to improve their sprinting/speed/max power. Thanks :)
Awesome video once again!very informative. I was just wondering how much general volume you should do whit a plyometric exercise( like how many jumps in total. ) I know that sets and reps depends on the exercise and how intense it is, but is there a general guideline?
Hey athlete.x can you give us some simple progressions for the more advanced plyos that you're doing. I'm no Usain bolt but I've been doing a lot of the intermediate exercises you've detailed in the video. (Depth jumps etc.) Thanks, would really help out
Good work and very helpful information I just would add a little thing: For a beginner things can spiral out of control quickly and I get lost easily in the details . I would like to see you do a more beginner oriented video to explain the basics Thanks a lot
My most irritating injury has been an ongoing thing around my left hip, including the psoas & adductors. It’s sort of like athletic pubalgia. It never had a catastrophic tear, but it’s been strained many times and takes me out for a few weeks each time. I think part of the issue is poor internal rotation of the femur, so I’m working on that. There’s a study on baseball players showing poor IR is correlated with groin and hamstring strains, and doing femoral IR lights up the exact spot I repeatedly injure. Worst acute muscular injury was a stage 2 hamstring strain in the beginning of my senior year, which killed my season. It took 10 weeks before I could sprint at sub 11 speed. Lastly, my most concerning injury I’ve had is femoral nerve compression from deep squatting. It left me with shooting nerve pain down the front of my leg any time I went into hip extension with knee flexion. Took about 6 weeks to calm down.
I'm a 16 yr old high school 100m/200m sprinter in my offseason and when doing hops (even tuck jumps) I notice I'm always plantar-flexing. Do you think its more effective and efficient to be dorsiflexed during these movements to increase basic elastic strength and ankle, hip rigidity?
When I do hops, I aim to feel myself almost pulling myself off of the ground with dorsiflexion and arms. You don't have to hit the ground with your ankle totally dorsiflexed, but you'll bounce more efficiently with some pretension on the achilles.
Great video. I'm a 68 year-old former high school sprinter (with mild lower-back issue). wanting to compete in Masters. Is heavy or light rope jumping a good beginning workout?
Great video and lots details and background info. I guess that American football athletes would greatly benefit from this. When should this kind of training be applied?
Hi Cody, I have a question regarding frequency of plyometrics training and weight training.I have started the pre-season and would like to know the amount/ratio of training power and plyometrics for 100m runners. As a back ground I train in Malta where athletics is still considered an amateur sport and only 2-3 people train professionally. This implies that my group trains once per day 6x per week app 2 hours each time. In one of your Q+A you said that you should train in the gym at a ratio of 1:1 to running sessions for 100m sprinters. We usually have running sessions 4x/week and gym sessions 2x/week. Can I increase the gym sessions to 4x/week by doing a session in the morning or would that be over-training? With regards to plyos what is the ratio you consider optimal from your experience? Thank you so much and awaiting your upcoming video as they are always a mine gold of information.
What do you think about single leg jump from sitting on a box without using stretch reflex? Is it good for accleration or you prefer split leg box jump?
Hi there, I'm relativeley new into running and sprinting, I used to be a natural bodybuilder in the last years, never did too much cardiovascular activities, and at the moment my problem is that I'm wondering whether I'm too heavy for running, and should I lose some weight or not in order to avoid injury. Is 83kg for 1.82 meters of height too heavy for running? I'll never intend to run more than 1000 meters in a row anyway.
I got a question: what type of running shoe (most nike shoes fit my feet well) would you recommend for track-like workouts? (im playing American football, but I don't always want to workout in cleats). your videos helped me a lot to get faster !
Hi Cody . I am a dancer but I love a multitude of athletics especially running and calesthenics and an ex basketballer . I also have psoas problems and adductor tears on left side. when I run or walk over 10km it seizes up and oh the pain! . Can you please tell me, what is best prevention other than the usual psoas stretches. ? Is there any weight trainin machines or exercises with fine focus targeting that get these especially the psoas healthy? thanks
Sorry you have psoas issues. There are exercises you can do to release the psoas. TRE is a series of exercises that can dramatically release the psoas. Watch the video here on UA-cam. Deep Psoas Relief. Also- constructive rest position is very helpful. Simply lie on your back with knees bent and relax for 15 minutes. Seems too simple to work, but it does. Good luck.
As a masters athlete (45 yrs old) and new to sprinting (only a couple of months) how long would you suggest I stick to hops before progressing, we do some bounds in training, but I do very little other plyo workouts and lack power massively!! Thanks

Hahaha, this yt channel is literally a sprinter's goldmine. Keep it up.
Thats the goal! haha. Looking to expand into other sports as well, though sprinting will always be the main focus.
Bald is also the reason for less wind resistance bro lol

What about reps and sets ? And recovery time
Nice video though❤👍

This is fantastic quality and very informative. Shocks me channels of this quality have so few subscribers. Thanks for the great video!
First plyos-for-sprinters video I've seen with good foot placement on landings - flat-foot. Many demos are super toe-y and dig into the track.
Great exercises and explanations thereof!!! Super knowledgeable 👌
Glad you liked it!

amazing video straight to the point very in-depth and super beneficial. These videos are extremely beneficial just amazing work dude. keep it up man
Thanks for the kinds words and for watching. Glad it was useful!
Really good material and presented well too!
I've been looking plyometric videos for hours and this is the last one because this helped me the most. Thanks for this really good video
Thanks once again bro. 🙏🏾
You got it bro! Thanks for scoping the video.
good knowledge
Just what i needed! 🙌🏼
Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you very much.
This video is helpful
10:48 woah yes. I've come up with same thing because my first step during the start feels weak.
when do you think a sprinter should progress from doing just hops to getting into more complex jumps, depth jumps, and bounds?
Hey athlete.x can you give us some simple progressions for the more advanced plyos that you're doing. I'm no Usain bolt but I've been doing a lot of the intermediate exercises you've detailed in the video. (Depth jumps etc.) Thanks, would really help out
Start adding in dumbells and doing them and do them on single leg so sl depth drops sl bounds sl box jumps and making it harder
Good stuff, man
This video is fantastic! Where would skips fall? In what category? By skips I mean A and B skips etc.
fantastic!!! How often should u do plyometrics if ur advanced sprinter? 5 times a week, 3 times a week?
Good work and very helpful information
I just would add a little thing:
For a beginner things can spiral out of control quickly and I get lost easily in the details .
I would like to see you do a more beginner oriented video to explain the basics
Thanks a lot
Wow. Thanks
