But yes, you do want to do strength training on the side. Or should I say, you should always be doing strength training and plyo on the side.

I'm 5'8 and my vertical can stuff a 6 foot volley player's spikes. And yes, it puts a huge amount of stress on the CNS, but that also means there is a shit load of activation going on - which is why a set of squat jumps is beneficial right before a heavy set of squats.

Many make promises they can't keep and charge you for it. What is it that you want out of plyos? Plyos are awesome in so many ways but they are not the complete answer. Athletes combine plyos with strength and explosive type training to optomize results. You have to have a baseline strength and explosive abilty to maximize plyo results. I hope I am not stepping on toes here. Fit Jerk, could you share your thoughts? There are so many plyo programs out there. Many make promises they can’t keep and charge you for it.

Plyometrics are a great method of not only improving vertical jump, speed, power, and aerobic/anaerobic capability but they also will improve core strength and up our metabolism. I often tell my clients to jump for their tummy. Of course they will say "really". Simple tuck jumps require a lot of abs. Candace Plyos dont always induce soreness. They are very CNS taxing. Speed and explosive type power requires a huge amount of CNS. This is one reason why rest between is very important. In my opinion the 1 minute rest is great but sometimes you will want to take 2 or 3 minutes of rest to fully recover for the next set. Speed is the key to maximizing the full benefit of plyos?Just a little background on me. I have been training for 35 years. I played hockey (still do) and volleyball. Volleyball requires hops especially when you are a shorty like me (6'). I have been doing plyos for 10 years in one form or another. I am 50 years old and still have pretty good hops and speed. Combined with a proper weight training program an athlete can achieve amazing results. FJ
