Hey Lance, been going through these bound cycles for a few weeks now, I'm getting better, but still needs work. I did however PR with +2 inches on my single leg jump since I've been training with these bounds. I usually do 3 cycles of all 3 types of single leg bounds with some sprints before and depth jumps after.
I have been doing plyo's/bounds on M/W/F, and lower body weight lifting T/TH/Sat, but I was thinking maybe lifting only on Saturday's. I want to master bounding, and a lot of times, my legs are kinda sore on plyo days, even though I did low volume lifting the day before. I think that slight soreness affects my explosiveness on my plyo days, and being sore affects my jump sessions and I did PR whenever I was jumping frequently.
congrats on the 2 inch gain man, thats GREAT!@! I would lift at least at least 2 days a week though, cutting it down to one day will be harder to still make strength gains which you still need at this point.
You think this is a good idea? Just lift on Saturday's to maintain lower body strength, and master plyos' and bounds and high frequency on jumping?
Also, do you have any videos of the different bounds? Max speed,height,distance? I wanna know what my bounds are supposed to look like.
yea, lift at least 2 days, and we are working on some bounding progression videos, hopefully have those out soon.
Thanks, and looking forward to those videos.
But, didn't you say in an earlier post that single leg bounding itself can help build strength, and actually help you go up in squats? Or am I missing something?
And random question, while training for vertical jump (squat/weight room/plyo's), as my vert goes up, will my quickness go up as well? I'm talking specifically in basketball.
THanks.
