Lateral loading + Singe Leg Lateral Jump

If we want to develop more single leg power for athletics or to master movement, we must practice loading the ankle in various positions. This is an explosive plyometric series that involves a lateral load into single leg balance and leg drive. These are type 2 fast twitch muscle fibers in which we lose almost 3-4% a year after the age of 35. Start with a low box and work your way up to a higher one. Plyometric training intensity and volume should be increased gradually over time just like resistance training. The first time we squat we generally don’t rep out 405. So, start slow. I will be incorporating more beginner plyo workouts as well, however, remember…this is not a basic b program. I am combat marine pushing the limits of what is possible at 40.
