Explosion lifts are one of the biggest parts of any sports. They will definatly make you a stronger and all around better play in any sport. The two explosion lifts i will be talking about are are power clean and split jerks. Power cleans are one of my favorite lifts because they are have a lot of things that can either make or break the lift. First you start out with a straight bar on a platform with how ever much weight you do. Then grab the bar bend at the knees and hips while keeping your head up and your back flat. Then explode up with your legs shoulders and arms then roatate the your wrists to throw it on your chest then repeat. I recomend doing about 4 sets with about 5 to 6 reps.
The next lift I will be talking about is Split jerks. This is also a very intense and hard lift. Have your straight bar put up on a power rack and then take it off with your hand about a foot apart from each other. Then pull the weight off the rack and place it on you chest while you are standing up. Then throw the weight up while jumping at the same time and split your legs about 2 to 3 feet apart and the bar should be above your head in your hands. Both of these lifts have helped me a lot in football and track.
The split jerks sound really intense and I agree power cleans are a must for any football player.
ReplyDeleteThese lift sound very hard. I also agree with power cleans they are great for any sport.

ReplyDeleteI'm trying to picture this, and it sounds like it would be very hard on the joints. Do you wear a back brace or other protective equipment?
