Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Optimal for the development of explosive, starting and reactive strenght, according Dr. Yuri Verkhoshansky's researches. The special strenght of an athlete will only be reached with the right means and methods, at the right time. Shock training is more efficient than jumping training. [Again, the effects of all training programmes are situational and individual, so that shock training is more efficient than jumping training only with respect to these conditions. As famous Belgian weightlifter, Serge Reding, once said to me: " Is it really wise for superheavy lifters like myself to be doing maximal rebound (plyometric) training from high boxes? " Recalling that he was referring to lifters who weighed over 300lbs (140kg), this comment seemed quite appropriate. Thus, Serge did a great deal of vertical jumps up to some quite impressive heights, but did not favour what today is called plyometric drills. Another reason why special plyometric drills may not be necessary is that several of the movements used in weightlifting (like the push press or jerk) offer powerful shock or stretch-shortening training, anyway.
