Now i realize why when I go to the gym and prefer to do something like box jumping or jumping rope. Not like the other folks in the gym who just want to look bigger or having more on their glutes, I dont want to add more muscles on my body. I am looking for something more explosive, quick and accurate movement like the elite athletes. Now I know that's called Plyometrics. Thanks for the knowledge ❤.
Great content, description, and delivery. I’ve been saying this stuff for years since I started coaching, and your video is a great resource to quickly point others too… Keep them going💪🏽💪🏽
Enjoying all the content. I know it very time-consuming and you might get burned out sometime but I want to thank you and let you know you are appreciated

@@saltylevi2672 Even there. Yes. But your days off with this training method are so important. Your tendonds can tear. Be generous with your recovery with this type of training.
Bruh, I thought I just found an amazing sports commentary channel, but then realized he only uploads a couple times a year, which obviously to get high quality videos but man, I love these types of channels, whether it’s for fitness or other things I’m interested, I just hate that to get quality videos you have to put in a lot of time and since it’s a relatively small channel still you can outsource some of the stuff. Subscribed tho.
He usually uploads a few times a month! And he has a blog too. He makes his own art and has a job as a neuromuscular therapist. With all that taken into consideration though He actually uploads often!
The crack in the sidewalk happened to me with the concrete faceplant, tripping on my dog's leash after a 9 mile run. At 70 years old i had begun to lose fast twitch muscle capacity. Now at 72 I am working through plyometric exercises to rebuild this, so i can catch myself without the scars and bruising.
Would you mind sharing your workout routine or a routine consisting of all the things this channel preaches? Keep up the good work man, glad to see your posting again ❤.
I change my routine around 3 times a year usually, just keeping certain elements the same. And recently it changed a lot because I'm recovering from a long medical issue. But in general my routines are a mixture of calisthenics, kettlebells, steel maces and martial arts with my warm ups being jump rope or shadow boxing. Sometimes I get a little bored and I'll do 6 months of olympic lifting or I'll add in sled workouts or landmine exercises, and in the summer I'll sometimes replace whole workouts with outdoor activities like kayaking. I'll have to put together some routines to show how to add all this stuff in a single program together. It's easy to do once you understand how to program primary movement patterns instead of individual exercises. I'll be sure to sure to post a video or blog article about it soon. Let me know if you have any specific questions in the mean time, I don't mind helping out.
oh please do so, i would like to know how to really make myself a good workout, because i feel like it's passable right now ( im working on calis skills )@@moversodyssey
I truly love your videos! The drawings are accurate and great to watch. Not to mention that your explanation of the topic is on professional yet unaderstandable level. Keep it up brother! 💪
I definitely remember a different number for how many muscle fibers one can activate when I learned this in exercise science at my university. I remember trained athletes being able to get to around 65 percent muscle activation.
How old are you man and how much experience do you have in these things because you seem to know every single thing, i love how knowledgeable you are in these topics, I do everything I can to learn about the human body in terms of fighting mainly boxing. Thank you for these videos
Glad these are helping you out! I just turned 40. I've just been in a lot of sports since I was a kid and I was always really good until I tore my ACL in highschool football. After that my knee was never the same and my body didn't move right so I studied a lot and experimented a lot with my body over the years. Learned a lot from piecing the body back together and started coaching and training and eventually became a neuromuscular therapist. Now I'm just trying to share everything I've learned along the way so other people don't have to search for answers as hard as I did.
Nice content man. The graphics are beautiful. Please, could you tell me the app you use and the kind of design it is? I'm trying to improve my design skill
It's all just screen recordings of me illustrating with some words put into the video during editing. I usually use krita (an open source version of photoshop) or clip studio, an illustration program designed for manga illustrators.
Didn't even realize you were back! I was just thinking of this channel this morning, lol. I recognized the art style of the thumbnail but didn't recognize the channel name and thought "Rebranding? Different guy maybe? Dunno, Mover's Odyssey shares the same theme as the last channel name. Gotta be very similar content if it's not the same dude. *Click* Oh, already subscribed. It IS him! He's back!"
when i was 14 i could jump out the gym frfr could touch the rim, Jump higher then anyone in my class lol 😂. but damn, now i think about it put my whole hand inside the rim,i was on my way to dunking. Dreaming about dunking at early age. now it’s the next year now i’m 15 i’m getting better and better, and then boom a Injury, a bad one to, it was on my pelvis bone i landed pretty bad on it during practice. took me to the hospital. took 6 months altogether to heal. Had to learn to walk again 😂 it was that bad . I’m actually crying rn because i realize i had a dream of dunking that shit and playing basketball my whole life yk 😭. RN present day im 16 in my bed at 3:24 am thinking about what i could’ve been rn if i didn’t get injured. RN i’m motivated but what’s hard is to be disciplined. Now i’m gonna work hard to that goal to dunk before finishing school. BTW i go to a school in NZ not much people dunk around here 😂 anyways Back off to my new dream and goal to dunking that shit be4 i’m done with school. wish me luck ❤❤❤❤
Great video, but what exercises would increase tendon strength for vertical and/or speed? I'm an athlete and I need a few more inches on my vertical to be able to dunk. Other than that your content is 🔥🔥
Step ups with a real slow eccentric phase (coming down) along with two legged box jumps on a box around knee height and some single leg box jumps on a shorter box around 12" tall. This is a great combo for overall athletic development.
This video was the best 7 minutes of my life! As a 14 year old who has gotten 12 seconds in an 100m sprint at 13 years old, I want to break my record this year!
They get programmed kinda like heavy lifting because they are intense on the body in a similar way. So usually with the more intense plyo's you just do them 2 times a week for 2-3 sets of 5-10 reps, and you only need maybe 2 heavy plyo exercises. For lighter plyo's like jump rope you can do them 3-5 times a week. Best of luck
Definitely, though if max strength is your primary goal you, heavy strength training would still be your main form of training and plyometrics would be supplementary. Plyometrics will help by increasing the neurological strength of the muscles and increasing the number of muscle fibers you can contract.
Depends on the intensity of the plyometric your doing. For instance tall box jumps you would probably do something like 3 sets of 8 with a 1-2 minute break, much like heavy lifting. However lighter plyometrics like side to side bounding or even jump rope can be done for timed sets, such as 1 minute on and 1 minute off.
They help thicken and strengthen the tendons, making them less likely to be injured, but they don't increase the tendons ability to elastic rebound. Slow reps and plyometrics make a good combination for this reason though. Isometric exercises have a similar effect to slow reps as well.
Russian fighters have used a plyometric row for a long time. You have to use light weight and it's usually rough on the body the first few times you do it, but it works great. Check them out at 0:37 into this video, you can see Fedor on the left hand side of the screen doing them. ua-cam.com/video/Pz9TYOVFjsw/v-deo.html Other than that, most the time athletes use ballistics for the back because it's easier. Doesn't build the starting strength like plyos but still works great at building power. Hope this helps.
@@joekrisko374 You could but most people aren't strong enough to do it without high risk of injury, unless you make it less intense by standing at a taller angle when doing the rows, kinda like trx rows. You could start with tall bodyweight rows with a bar or gymnastic rings around chest height, then move them lower as your body becomes more adapted. I'd focus a lot on form at first, since the upper back is more complicated than the chest and many people don't engage the shoulder blades properly. But yea, if it's performed safely and properly it could be done.
hi great video sir. i have only one leg. my artificial (titanium leg) is kinda bad and made only for PASSIVE movements (walking), and i have to make all the movement. You're wrong on the box jumps part sir, last summer when i was 96KG (i am 185 to 190 cm tall, dont know exactly), i did 700 box jumps daily as my first workout with only 1 min stops. i always finished em within 15 to 30 minutes, and after that i proceeded doing all my 6 other workouts, everyday, nonstop. for like 2 weeks, before i stopped working out. Sure they hurt like hell after doin so many day after day but then again, my shoes fucked up, got cuts and stuff and they're 10+ years old. P.S i did this workout non stop along with others throughout the entire workout with only 3-4 eggs every 3 days (to lose weight). Got 0 problems other than being kinda tired for 1 or 2 days after 3 or 4 days of workouts.
thanks man!! I had an aquilles tendon thorn, in the latest stages of recovery right now, gaining confidence again in the mountains, would you recomend plyos for me?
It depends on what you've been doing for rehab and how long it's been. But in general, when rehabbing tendons I always make sure to start adding in isometric exercises and light dynamic movements for reps to increase blood flow and start collagen synthesis again. Once it's feeling good with no symptoms I'll often start strength training with medium weight and light intensity and real light plyometrics for 2-4 weeks. If all goes well I will increase intensity from there. Hope this helps.
@@moversodyssey sure it will do, thanks a lot, cheers from argentina!! keep it going with the videos, awesome style combiened with good information. Ill comment you how it goes with the plyos proximately. Hope my words in english are understood, thanks a lot again!

Plyometrics helped me to be the first comment 🐒
Excellent speed and explosiveness
Plyometrics has impressed my wife. She claims I'm more explosive in the bedroom.

Channel is one of the best on UA-cam. Thank you!
completely off topic, but i just wanted to share just how interesting the nervous system is to me.
i do a martial art called kendo, and my sensei being a great one, 7th dan teaches me many defensive techniques.
these techniques were so boring, i managed to be proficient enough to do it without thinking, and i think thats what he wanted me to do because when im in a real match, i just do it unconsciously.
the smallest cues my eyes can render, the body moves on its own. and over time i also developed intuition, noticed patterns and just the "feeling" makes me do it.
its like my body is my brain, i dont know what f***ing sorcery my sensei did but he is one hell of a mother###### lol
i still lost most matches because i always unnecessarily step back because im tall and prefer the long range but need to work on the inside-part of the game
I‘ve been doing plyometrics sind over one and a half years now. The results are way more than insane.
Did you notice changes in the first few months?

What did you do
facts
Yeah hes completely wrong about the conscious muscle activation.
Did plyometrics everyday in my youth for sprinting, even after years of neglecting legs they are still very big
Plyometrics helps me jump higher and make my tendon longer
Your videos are very informative and useful. Thank you for making your videos.
I have a feeling your videos will help me get good at boxing
(Your videos are really good)
Very well done.
man you content is awesome, keep it up!!
this is awesome! Grete content bro.. keep it up
TIL: my legs hurt after boxing not because i hurt them but because i never trained my tendons for explosivity before. helpful video
So happy you are making content again 👍🏿👍🏿
started boxing recently so imma try this out
Plyo speed pushups are great for boxing, as well as medicine ball throws (a ballistic exercise) and medicine ball drops if you have a partner.
Your videos are so awsome!

this is a great channel
Plyometrics helped me subscribe
❤ In plyometrics the mind is just witnessing the body movement. 😅
I'm doing plyometrics invuntarily, the exercises i like happen to be tied to this.
How many reps should u do ? N how long of a break should we take
Depends on the intensity of the plyometric your doing. For instance tall box jumps you would probably do something like 3 sets of 8 with a 1-2 minute break, much like heavy lifting. However lighter plyometrics like side to side bounding or even jump rope can be done for timed sets, such as 1 minute on and 1 minute off.
Does dunking have similar effects?
Nice vid
Good sheet
what if you do slow push ups would they help with tendon strength?
They help thicken and strengthen the tendons, making them less likely to be injured, but they don't increase the tendons ability to elastic rebound. Slow reps and plyometrics make a good combination for this reason though. Isometric exercises have a similar effect to slow reps as well.
do you have any examples of plyometric pulling exercises? All i can really think of are the high bar pullups/muscle ups
Russian fighters have used a plyometric row for a long time. You have to use light weight and it's usually rough on the body the first few times you do it, but it works great. Check them out at 0:37 into this video, you can see Fedor on the left hand side of the screen doing them.

Other than that, most the time athletes use ballistics for the back because it's easier. Doesn't build the starting strength like plyos but still works great at building power. Hope this helps.
@moversodyssey so you wouldn't be able to do a plyometric bodyweight row in the same way that you can do a clapping push up?
@@joekrisko374 You could but most people aren't strong enough to do it without high risk of injury, unless you make it less intense by standing at a taller angle when doing the rows, kinda like trx rows.
