| | plyometric exercises are thoese that require explisivness and speed.
Like clapping pushups and jumping.
I'm not sure if they would class as plyometrics but you could consider oly lifting, high pulls, clean and press, etc...
Dont quote me on this, This is my best guess. |

| | | O-lifts would not be considered plyo's. Plyometrics exercises use the floor (or ground) to generate force--like jumping. |

They don't need to clap, just getting airborne is enough. The clap is perhaps more a measure of "hangtime." |

| | | Whether they are technically "plyometrics" or not, power cleans, power snatches, etc. accomplish the same training goal: building explosive strength. In fact I saw a study once that showed that olympic weight lifters were actually faster out of the blocks than world class sprinters. |

| | | Thanks, this is all I needed to know.
I figure, since in Football you need explosive speed which comes from muscle 2 fibers, which can be built from plyometrics; thats why I asked. So my theory is that if I do plyometrics till next season starts I can be really explosive which is important for a defensive end. (while bulking up, cutting, working on speed which plyometrics help etc) |

| | | There's a "rebound" component to plyos that you won't find with even the OLs, though, and it's pronounced enough that it's considered a separately-trained motor ability.
OLs will develop a high "power" output, in terms of having a high rate of force development with a decently heavy weight, but they lack the force absorption and rebound that is associated with plyos and subsequent explosiveness. |

| | | If I'm to assume, if you think of a ply pushup, there are two parts: the lift off and the touch down. Perhaps this seperate component is the touch down...something you don't get snatching. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
