Propulsion Training
Propulsion training is KEY for conditioning the muscles to produce more force, and produce it faster.
The catch is............
You have to properly build up to propulsion training.
Muscle Activation
Truth is, most athletes can increase their verticals by 3-4 inches with the help of muscle activation.
Lot of athlete's make massive vertical gains by simply doing banded squats.
but one of the most bang for your buck ways to add this muscle activation to your training is with extreme isometrics.
Accommodating Resistance
Accommodating resistance training is one of the best way to translate strength into power.
Because this kind of training forces you to accelerate through extended ranges of motion....
Similarly you do during a jump or sprint
Stretching + Mobility
Most of the athlete's and coaches believe that stretching will drag down their vertical efforts.
But the truth is......
By tactfully increasing range of motion in the hips....
You can actually increase your power and explosiveness.
But only when you compliment this by increasing your strength through this range of motion.
Force Absorption Training
I have discussed and focus always on this word.
The more force you can absorb, the more you can produce.
And it's absolutely true.
Many of the athlete's and coaches skip this but it makes a huge difference
