plyos! :)

sorry about all these posts first of all , im just trying to get everything together here for the super training stuff coming up. Ok for plyometrics, what kinda of on/off rest would you recommend? Like do an exercise for 30 seconds, rest for 60 then do it again or move to another one or whatever? So pretty much, does 30s on, 60 off sound good?

plyos are not fitness exercises, you rest a good amount like 3 mins for CNS recovery

 

[leatherface]

rest 3 mins between each exercise? Alright then, how long are you doing the exercise though, like 30 seconds then rest 2-3 mins? You know alot about plyo's so ill take your word, but it seems like alot of rest

depend son how many reps you do if you 6, then rest 2-3 mins

if its sets of 3 , then you cna get away with lower amount.

It's all about quality - you don't want to do them while fatigued

You always have the hottest chicks in your avatar. Is that what it's like in Australia - wall to wall hotties?

Usually I just see how many reps i can get in like 20 seconds or whatever. But lets say I get out 20 reps, then ill just rest like 2 mins. So is it better to just do a set amount of reps, or to do a set amount of time? Or does it matter? ;p thanks coolcolj

count your reps, and no more than 30-40 per session.

remeber quality over quantity!

You mean like the whole day im doing plyos only do up to 40 reps? Maybe I have been instructed to do these wrong or something lol. Ok i used to do them in the past when i read about them in muscle and fitness. The way they described them was, you do an exercise for 1 min, and pull out as many reps of the highest quality you can, then rest 1 min, then go onto the next exercise. There were like 10 exercises total and some of them were..

High Jump
1-leg High Jump
Long Jump
1-leg Long jump
Box jumps
dunno what this is called(Jump sideways over a box with both feet together)
Jump and bring your knees to your chest

So if that is how they were to be done, i would get between 20 and 45 reps per exercise. But maybe i was mislead. I have read some good plyo sites but they didn't really say how many reps/sets/rest/exercises to do.

So do I have this all wrong, or am i confused?
