    Defining Plyometric Intensity You can't program safely & effectively unless you understand the intensity of training exercises Plyometric intensity = stress exercise puts on muscle, connective tissue & joints Thread & videos below on determining factors of plyo intensity 👇

    Are low-level, extensive plyometrics enough to drive meaningful adaptation? Are they even plyometrics? Does it matter? Here's my plyometric progression model 👇 I'm not convinced work in phase 1&2 "prep tendons" or create specific significant adaptation at the tendon - but
