I try to tell people doing tricks = plyometrics and pushing around = cardio. Very cool video man. Never thought I'd see someone nerd out on skate training like me. 🫡🤘
How would you recommend combining plyrometrics with strength training, currently i train legs twice a week with deadlifts, squats and Bulgarians split squats primarily plus assorted accessory movements like calfs, hamstrings etc
@vancouverbill Thanks for watching! You can implement plyos in a variety of ways. Using full periodized phases, in an undulating fashion (mixing intensities throughout the week), or simply add them to your current program at the start of workouts. All have shown to be good options. Based on your previous comment, it sounds like you train relatively heavy? (>70% of your 1 RM aka power lifting) If yes, I'd recommend using plyometrics as high velocity exercises. If implemented, you will be training a greater portion of the force-velocity curve. Potentially creating new power adaptations. Additionally, these high velocity movements are commonly experienced during skating. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!
Indirectly yes. If your main priority is skating better, power lifting is not the ideal option. Power lifting mixed with plyos and corrective exercises will be more effective. 👊
@@SkateAthleticswhat do you mean by corrective exercises? In the video you said a paper showed that squatting 1.5-2.5x body weight was necessary for plyrometrics, so power lifting should be good for that no?
In this context, corrective exercises are individualized exercises that are intended to correct specific imbalances and/or deficiencies. Example: banded clam shells for an individual who struggles with hip external rotation strength and stability. Yes power lifting will help, its just not optimal. The paper is essentially saying it is important to have foundation of strength in order to handle the high physical demands of plyometric exercises. However, if you are roughly around that strength range and already do some plyos (skating) then you are fine to start. The reason why I say power lifting is not optimal, is because 1) it focuses on low velocity high force exercises (not commonly experienced during skating) and 2) the physical demands it places on the body requires a great deal of recovery time. If skating is a priority, I'd recommend finding a program that still increases strength and power (over a greater portion of the force-velocity curve) but requires less recovery time so you can spend more time on the board. Hope this helps bro!
@@SkateAthletics wow yes that is really helpful, thanks so much. Really appreciate your very well considered content. It's great to see the science applied to skating 🙌
such a valuable channel man, I know your channel will blow up soon, for how much hard work you're putting in, thanks man!
Thank you very much brotha! Appreciate you!
This guy deserves more credit come on now
lol appreciate you brotha
Cheers bro. 44yo ... used to skate as a teen I need this !!!
Anytime! Thanks for watching 😎
Did it help you?
@@TheBlazababa yeah bro helped heaps, also Norman Woods ollie tutorials
Very information packed video but you still made it entertaining and concise, sick !
Thank you brotha! I greatly appreciate all the support!!
Great niche content that shouldnt be niche. Keep it going 👍
lol thank you!! 🙏
Needed this! 🔥
👊

Haha spot on! Thanks for watching!
I would like to know more about advanced exercises. Could you make a video about it?
Definitely! That is a great idea, thank you ☺️
great vid
Thank you brotha!
Good video

Would powerlifting be beneficial for this?
