Bigger Leaps and Jumps with Specific Leg Conditioning Plans

The SHIFT Show

This week I think is going to be very popular for anyone who's looking to get better jumps, leaps, and dance elements. This was a free consult with Emilie, who won one of our giveaways during Peak Gymnastics Power course launch week. Diwesh Poudyal Head of Strength and Conditioning and Director of Fitness at Champion Physical Therapy, and I got together to answer any question she had. Her biggest concern was that her gymnast have good active flexibility, but struggling to upgrade their jumps and leaps. We talked about how to get more power and strength and development for her athletes, focusing on takeoff to improve skill dynamics in jumps, leaps tumbles. We ended building her a program from scratch, so if you want to see that program and understand why we're doing certain exercises and conditioning, you can check it out on YouTube.

We DISCUSS; how to get power in leaps.

WHY you should stop using ankles weights in active flexibility.

IMPROVE vertical power, make sure you’re not neglecting it in your training.

Are your gymnasts too RELIANT on the sprung floor?

WHY you can't just do jumps and leaps to get better at jumps and leaps.

ALSO…

HOW to make the most of your warm-ups and integrate strength exercises.
