THE YESS TRAINING BARBELL CLUB's Diamond Gloves Boxing Champion, Muay Thai Fighter, And Coach (Clement Quartey) Performing Plyometric Box Jumps From A Static Position.
This Is Not On Accident, But A Science Based Approach From Years Of Education, Experience, And Know How.
To Do So, You Need A Solid Base Of Strength And Flexibility In Order To Achieve Optimal Mobility, While Exploding Throughout The Entire Jump.
This Is Addressed, Managed, And Attained In Our Programming Throughout The Entire Training Year.
The Static Jumping Position (Static, Meaning Standing In Place. No Running Start) Trains The Static Over Dynamic Component.
Think "Starting Strength".
Eliciting Instantaneous Explosive Movement, Without Momentum.
Everything You Can Ask For When Teaching The Body How To Produce Force And Explosive Power.
Static Box Jumps Is One Of Many Options In Building Power For An Explosive Punch, Kick, Or Take Down.
After Building A Solid Base Of Strength, Plyometric Jumping Is The Start Of How We Program Power Training.
From Here, The Plyometric Variations We Program In, To Create A Physical Adaptation, For A Positive Carry Over Into Competition, Are Limitless.
But, If We Are Not Forcing An Adaptation Upon The Body, Variety Can Also Work Against You.
Progression Is Important, So Take Into Consideration How Frequently You Are Changing Exercises.
Improve Upon The Training Before Changing It.
Here are some ideas to ponder:
Plyometrics and most variations of jump training build Explosive Power.
Speed is a major component of Power Training.
If it's not as fast as you can go, it's not explosive.
Speed Strength vs. Strength Speed.
Big difference when talking about Velocity.
Know what you are training for.
Remember:
You CAN NOT be slow, jumping up onto a box, at a challenging height.
Well, technically you can, but you would bust your ass and you wouldn't make the jump.
We use wood boxes with our fight teams.
Our team has come to the conclusion that bloody shins keeps respect in the jump and is an appropriate motivator for bringing out our best.
Like a well executed deadlift, the box jump is no different.
If your technique is locked in, no blood.
