I’ve been doing that Explosive Repeat Method at least once a week for over a decade since I first learned it from @coachjoeljamieson and it’s still one my favorite conditioning methods.
I’m getting back to hooping 🏀 so training the ability to maintain my explosive power over and over again is hugely important for performance, and it’s true across many sports.
Another thing to consider is that this type of training can have a big impact on health and wellness because it’s VERY effective for increasing mitochondria in the fast twitch muscle fibers.
You can use it with upper body, lower body, or mix it up, using exercises such as explosive push ups, bench press, KB or BB squat jumps, lunge jumps, bounds, sprints, lateral slides, sleds, etc.
The step-by-step ⬇️
▶️ Work 8-10 sec at max intensity
▶️ Active recovery for 30-60 seconds
▶️ Work up to 10-20 sets per workout
▶️ Do 1-2 sessions per week
This week I did 16 rounds with 10 seconds of work and cut the break down to 40 seconds where I just do low intensity dribbling of the basketball as my active recovery.
I’d recommend to start with 8-10 sets and take the full break of 50-60 seconds at first as if you haven’t done this before it will seem easy first couple sets then whoop your butt!
This is the type of conditioning you will see in the Athlete For Life program I’m launching to go along with the Strength and Performance training.
