How To Jump Higher: Concentric-Only Training

Concentrics involve a higher rate coding, better motor unit recruitment, and likely better gains in high-velocity strength (the strength needed to increase jump height).

He quickly and effectively explained what was happening and then provided demonstrations 10/10 will watch again.

Levelbot1 Levelbot1 Cheers for that!

[@dustinlarson7327]

It’s fitting that the manner in which you explain this is so concise and quick... one might say explosive.

Thank you.

Very helpful

[@francesca95]

This is a great video. Thanks

Vic Cheers, mate!

[@sugarlife485]

U are brilliant and This is the future of training....It may also build more muscle then doing eccentric ! more recovery less soreness more muscle possibly ! thanks...this is RARELY SEEN

[@jake_tuura]

SUGAR LIFE Quite possibly, yes. Cheers!

@@jake_tuura happy late new year wishes from NYC! Im about to experiment with a complete eccentric style "bodybuilding" muscle hypertrophy style training exclusive...I will keep you posted!

Do these exercises help you put on muscle

[@immanueldarling4449]

great video and explantation! how often should I do this training as an athlete? can I do this in season or would it be too taxing on the CNS?

[@jake_tuura]

Yes, you can do it in season. It’s less taxing than other forms of lifting.

[@Swoledier]

Does doing the Concentric Only training or Dead Stop training increases explosiveness? It eliminates the Stretch Reflex right? I thought that to be explosive we need to use stretch reflex

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

you should get plenty of plyometric training by doing your sport or doing jumps and sprints.
I like the idea to use weighted exercises mostly in a concentric way. The fact that only max acceleration concentrics work rate coding is crucial.
Eccentric training does not. Eccentrics training is much harder on the CNS. But fast concentrics not to failure! will improve the CNS and recovery! Win win

[@jake_tuura]

Do both

[@silasnew15]

Isn't this concentric AND eccentric training? For example, in the deadlift, do the hamstring muscles lengthen while quads shorten? and for the pull ups, don't the triceps lengthen while biceps shorten?

[@jake_tuura]

Silas MN I guess so... the main point in, you are doing a traditional strength/power lift and dropping the eccentric portion. No damage, minimal fatigue, all explosiveness and CNS feeling on fire.

[@silasnew15]

@@jake_tuura Makes sense. Thank you so much!

[@sugarlife485]

HES NOT EMPHASIZING THE LOWERING PART its brilliant way to train for alot of reasons!!

[@samserwadda253]

​@@jake_tuuraisn't the eccentric bit of the exercise the part where you absorb force to help you jump higher or make you move horizontally on the track.

[@eddiefahrenheit1673]

Do you think concentric-only training can lead to long term knee detriment? Like if you have the ability to jump 40 inches but not the eccentric ability to perfectly land from it?

[@jake_tuura]

Do eccentrics and isometrics too. Problem solved.

[@dereksmithfor3]

Do you think concentric only training makes sense for an athlete during season because it will cause less muscle damage but will let you hit high max forces still

[@d3rpn1nj47]

sport specific training is best and typically is skewed closer to concentric only

[@jake_tuura]

You can justify anything if you try hard enough. Many types of training can be good in season

[@actual_random]

Do you have links to any of the sudies

concentric only is absolutely useless
