[ArAi]

Any websites on plyo? Or if any of you got some good plyo exercises for grappling please share it here with me...
thanks.

[ArAi]

Actually, this topic has popped up here. Although with the new forum I don't know if you can access any of the old threads.

Let it sit for a while; you'll get a reply.

There's a lot of stuff out there. I'd suggest doing a search and maybe checking out some of the big sites, like http://www.drsquat.com. You'll find links to other sites from there. I'd also check out the ameross website because they have info there. If you haven't been lifting for a while, you won't be ready for plyo's, though.

I've been doing body weight stuff...basically matt furey's combat conditioning...
Why do you i am not ready for plyo? Is it really hardcore?

[Atomic]

Well, it's hard to say, since I really can't see how you perform and I don't know how long you've been doing the routine, etc. I'd say if you've only been doing it for under a year, you're probably not ready yet.

More information means a better possible answer.

ok fine...i am not that well conditioned...
i try to do it daily...and i'm not doing 500 of them either...
just started about 3 mo ago...
i guess i am not ready...
my question is, do i have to be at a certain level to incorporate plyo? What happens if i just started doing some plyo drills right now? Will something go wrong with my muscles?

ArAi,
Health For Life puts out a very practical softcover book that's easy to read. It'll give you a good idea about plyo.

He is big on ply. He has a video of his seminar where he shows it. Haven't seen it yet though.

ARAI,

The idea that you seem to be getting that you have to be lifting to incorporate plyometrics into your training regime is erroneous.

There are many good books out there on plyometric training, your local library might be a good place to start.

I have an idea... why don't you get your a$$ into a dojo and train... maybe then you won't have to graze the deepest and darkest holes on the internet in the wee hours of the morning looking for info on new and improved ways of getting back in shape...

hehe seriously bro the body weight sh-t you were talking about sounds like its enough... maybe we'll throw in some running BEFORE we train--that would be weird...

[ArAi]

Hey Rato...I am only on leave cos i'm injured...if i can't grapple might as well work on my strength and cardio a bit...

JerronSmith, thanks for the links...

Jumping into Plyometrics

ARAI,

No problem I hope they are useful to you. By the way , I would really recomend Don Chu's book, "Jumping into Plyometrics", since it includes a section on sports specific plyometric exerciese.
