Transcripts
hey what's going on guys it's Danny also
known as plyomorph so this video is
going to be a little bit different
usually I'll show a typical plyometric
workout or exercises that you can use in
your training but this is going to be
more along the lines of a breakdown of a
proper plyometric workout so basically
at the end of this video you're going to
have a better understanding of how to
implement Plyometrics into your workouts
and also get some common questions
answered I believe that no matter what
sport you play or type of athlete you
are if you watch this whole video you're
going to find it super valuable whether
that's vertical jump speed power
explosiveness anyway without further Ado
let's get into it so here we are how I
reclaim my athleticism in 12 weeks using
Plyometrics and how I'm helping other
athletes do the same thing too so a few
examples here of former athletes have
taken my plyometric programs so I have
Tristan here he was a former athlete he
played basketball and he felt his
vertical jump was regressing this shows
how great Plyometrics can be if properly
programmed so within three weeks of
start my plyometric program he felt he
was already making progress he was a
former athlete played basketball and he
was already grabbing room again so
that's awesome for Tristan for sure next
we got Phil so Phil here he never
trained Plyometrics before starting my
program and honestly I love that there's
just so much room for growth if you
haven't trained Plyometrics properly and
Phil can attest to that he said his body
improved not only in vertical jump but
also in his overall Fitness and muscle
mind feeling Supply metrics will give
you a mental Edge in your sport as well
and finally we got Adam so Adam here
he's a volleyball player and he fully
encourages athletes to use my plyometric
program now after taking my program he
felt his vertical jump increased and he
felt a lot more confident as a player
when he was jumping the spike he also
felt he became more agile and quicker
and he completely recommends my
plyometric program no matter what sport
you play or type athlete you are now let
me tell you who my plyometric programs
are for if you want to increase your
vertical jump this is for you if you
want to increase your muscular power
this is for you if you want to increase
your first step explosiveness this is
for you if you want to increase your
agility and footwork this is for you and
if you want to reclaim your athletic
ability this is certainly for you now
let me tell you who this is not for if
you don't put proper effort in during
your workouts this is not for you so
let's say you show up to the gym or your
workout and you're just tired and you're
going through the motions you're given
anything less than 100 this is not gonna
work for you if you don't care about
increasing your athletic ability this is
not for you if you are inconsistent with
your workouts let's say you train one
week you're super motivated confident
and then the next week you just dip off
Plyometrics are are not going to work
for you this is not for you if you want
to follow a traditional strength workout
this is not for you if you just want to
do calf raises deadlifts and squats you
don't want to jump this is not for you
and if you're not looking for a proper
plyometric program this is definitely
not for you but now here's the truth and
the most common excuses to go with them
age with former athletes you know
they're out of high school college
whatever it may be and they're playing
pickup soccer basketball any sport
really and they feel that they're not
going to increase their athletic ability
it's done it's capped off and I've seen
plenty of athletes transforming
athleticism regardless of age and also
I'll see it a lot is people complaining
they don't have the right genetics for
athletic ability same thing vertical
jump speed power explosiveness it's not
going to increase because they don't
have the genetics for it and I'll tell
you firsthand I felt I didn't have the
genetics but let me tell you within a
month of training Plyometrics I've
transformed as an athlete sleep so
another excuse I see in the comments all
the time is height regardless of your
height you can certainly increase your
athletic ability it can still increase
your vertical jump speed power
regardless of height you can increase I
promise so previous injuries
unfortunately injuries are super common
in sports so you get injured and you're
like oh I just want to be back to that
level I was before I get injured that
can happen with Plyometrics as long as
you're cleared for physical activity you
can definitely reclaim your athleticism
to where you were before if not even
better and finally I'll see that someone
says they don't have a top tier training
facility or a gym I promise Plyometrics
can be completed outdoors with no
equipment I've had plenty of videos on
it and my programs are very minimal with
equipment you can definitely make them
work even if you just have a bench chair
and leaves so even if you don't have
that top tier equipment you can
definitely still do my plyometric
programs and just for an example here
Daniel M he completed one of my
plyometric workouts he's 47 years old he
had previous injury history and he's
seeing Improvement within one month of
starting my program so you may have a
line of excuses out the door but don't
worry I'm not gonna let that happen to
you you can absolutely reclaim your
athletic ability in 12 weeks using
Plyometrics regardless of your age
genetics height or top tier training
facility however most athletes aren't
capable of doing so because they don't
understand how to progressively
intensify their training follow a proper
Sports Florence program properly
Implement Plyometrics with correct
guidelines and develop a consistent and
fully structured training schedule so in
case you don't know me here's a little
background story of how I got here today
so I'm a former athlete and growing up I
played a ton of different Sports
basketball soccer football you name it
later on I decided to focus on
basketball with basketball be my sport I
always wanted to jump higher everyone
always said you gotta do your squats
calf reads is deadlifts so in the back
of my head I was like I've never worked
out for in my life but I decided to take
matters into my own hands and watch
YouTube videos on how to train and went
to the gym on my own with this I
developed a passion for working out and
I realized how much I enjoyed being at
the gym and just becoming a better
athlete through Sports training and
that's exactly why After High School I
wanted to pursue a degree in exercise
science I knew with that degree I could
become a strength and conditioned coach
and work with a ton of different
athletes I just knew it was something I
was passionate about and I enjoyed doing
so I now hold my degree in exercise
science and I work with a ton of
athletes of different sports and ages as
a strength and conditioning coach
personally I always felt my athleticism
could be better so when I took my
strength and conditioning internship in
college I realized that all the athletes
were implementing Plyometrics into their
workouts and I was like what are these I
never used them before and I decided why
not I'll throw them in my own workout
what's the worst that could happen I'm
telling you after one month of training
them I became a whole different app
Fleet so it became a long-term goal of
mine just to keep striving to improve my
athletic ability during this time of
using Plyometrics I realized that there
wasn't a ton of information out there
there wasn't tick tocks YouTube's
Instagrams there was nothing on
Plyometrics so I decided to take matters
into my own hands and that's how we are
here today and now I just want to help
as many former athletes or current
athletes as possible reach their
untapped potential right here I just
want to kind of touch on that the
plymore training system is my
athleticism formula that I built through
my own trial and error programming so
when I first learned about Plyometrics I
needed to go through a series of tests
to see which ones work best for vertical
jump speed agility power and how I could
Implement that into my own workouts at
the bottom here you can see so the
picture to the left is when I was in
college I was getting stuffed by the rim
basically every dunk attempt I'd be
lucky the hoop would probably have to be
at like eight eight and a half feet for
me to dunk or something and Flash
forward to nowadays I can dunk cleanly
on any 10 foot hoop my younger self
would love to hear that but anyways I'm
gonna break this all down for you on how
you can do the same thing in the
following steps outline the entire
process A to Z of what I did to
accomplish these results so you can too
use my plyometric training to regain
your athleticism these are all points to
know when program and Plyometrics I'm
just going to touch on these briefly
right now and we'll get more into it
later on so number one workout placement
should Plyometrics be trained at the
beginning middle or end of your workouts
number two planes of motion which
plyometric should I use specific to my
goals number three training volume how
many rep Supply metrics should I do per
exercise number four training rest
periods how long should you rest after
each plyometric set and finally number
five training schedule how many times a
week should I train Plyometrics so let
me tell you this within just four weeks
of using my plyometric training system I
could notice and feel a complete change
in my overall authentic ability ability
I could finally dunk a basketball
consistently and my performance on the
court improved tremendously many people
always came up to me with the same
question how did you transform so
quickly and my answer always stayed
consistent implementing Plyometrics and
this is how you can do the same how to
implement Plyometrics let's get into it
what part of my workout should I train
Plyometrics you want to train
Plyometrics when you're non-fatigued so
what I mean by this is you want to be
completely fresh you don't want to be
tired when you train Plyometrics you
want to feel like you're warmed up you
got fresh legs and you're good to go you
may not feel it but if you're strength
training before Plyometrics then chances
are your legs are going to be tired and
you're not going to give 100 effort you
can certainly train Plyometrics whenever
you want but it's most recommended to
train in the beginning just because
you're going to get the best results
that way so next up here is planes of
motion so a lot of people don't know
this but this is a huge part of
plyometric training so what I mean by
planes of motion is the direction of the
jump this can all translate to many
different sports so if your goal is to
increase your athleticism in general
these are all great to touch on no
matter what sport you play or type
athlete you are so all these planes of
motion listed here can be translated to
a plyometric so you want to be sure in
your programming you're touching on each
one of these now it doesn't have to be
each training session but make sure
you're hitting on at least one of these
per week starting here with rotational
so rotational movement would be
something such as a rotational box jump
or 180 degree jump next up is linear so
that's your ability to jump out far or
forward and that would be a movement
such as a broad jump another common
plane of motion is vertical so you'll
see this when you do a box jump seated
jump there's plenty of different
Plyometrics for that and finally I like
to combine these medial and lateral so
moving to the side or moving to the
middle this would be something such as
cone hops lateral jumps medial jumps
hurdle hops something along those lines
and with all these planes of motion you
can hit them unilaterally literally as
well as bilaterally so what I mean by
that is you can do double or single leg
a quick example of that single leg box
jump double leg box jump so for sure you
want to make sure your plyometric
program hits on all these planes of
motion all right this is a big one here
repetitions everyone says why is it only
three reps or why is it only five reps
why not 15 20. so the reason for
Plyometrics always seeming to be low
reps is because you want to work in the
power rep range this range Falls between
three and six for the best results the
reason for this is because we want to
move quick and Powerful for the best
results let's say you're doing a box
jump by the time you get past six reps
you're most likely going to be tired so
you're not going to be jumping with 100
effort and you're not going to get the
results you want so basically unless you
want to train for endurance anything
past six is not going to help your power
Plyometrics aren't meant for endurance
they're meant to help your muscular
power so therefore keep your reps in
that three to six rep range so this is a
big one here as well I see a lot of
comments asking how long a plyometric
session should be or how many
Plyometrics should be a part of a
workout so if you just follow this
guideline chart here that's what you
want to follow rather than the sets or
time or reps whatever it may be you want
to follow foot contacts every time your
foot hits the ground is a foot contact
and obviously if you're a van athlete
college level athlete you got three plus
years of plyometric experience your
numbers are going to be way different
than a beginner level athlete as shown
here so when you're programming your
plyometric workout if you just follow
this chart here based on your experience
and the type of drill you're doing it'll
give you a solid Baseline for your
plyometric workout rather than it being
based on time or number apply metrics
just follow this chart and you'll be
golden now you may ask yourself how long
should I rest between sets this is
another one that varies based on demand
but a simple rule to follow is that you
should be resting five to ten times the
amount you're working so if your set is
30 seconds you should be resting two and
a half to five minutes and this all goes
back to the beginning when I say you
want to give a hundred percent effort so
you may feel like oh I'm fresh I'm good
to go for the next set I only took 45
seconds but in reality your body might
need two that two and a half to five
minutes and that's what's going to give
you that 100 effort it's been researched
so these are the guidelines that I like
to follow you could always shorten your
rest time but then you may not get the
best result so it's a little time
investment to rest but you'll get that
much better results just by resting a
little bit longer this all varies on the
demand of the plyometric for example if
you're doing depth jumps you should
definitely be resting longer than if
you're doing line jumps so yes you want
to take your rest period serious so
another question I get a lot is how many
days a week should I train apply metrics
so just like anything it depends on your
Fitness level so if you haven't worked
out in a while or worked out in general
obviously you want to ease into it you
want to start at one day a week
gradually increase as you get more
experience and in better shape also it
depends on experience if you're a
college level athlete you're going to
train more than a beginner so the best
rule of thumb that I like to follow is
two to three days a week for the best
results so that will give you enough
time for Recovery at least a day of rest
in between I like to do and it will get
you prepared for your next session
without being too fatigued overall when
you complete a plyometric program
following these guidelines I just one
over it's almost impossible for you not
to regain your athletic ability and now
that you understand how exactly this
process works I have an offer for you if
you're a former current athlete and are
looking to increase your vertical jump
looking to increase your explosiveness
looking to increase your speed and First
Step explosiveness looking to increase
your agility and footwork and want to
reclaim your athleticism go ahead and
book a call with me down below and we'll
see if we're a good fit to work together
I hope you guys enjoyed this video I'm
looking forward to chatting and I'll
