I am looking to improve my explosiveness a bit, I spend 1/3 of month in another city where I cant train MMA or be at gym, so here I would like to do some BW exercises I tried to google, got at least these two. The so called "jumping" push ups, you know the ones, where you jump in the air and clap hands once before landing. Other being just regular sprints. I do wish to know more moves to improve explosiveness without weights/machines, so thats why I created a thread. I guess one move could be jumping on something which is near at the max height I can jump on? All suggestions for explosive BW moves are appreciated! Thanks. Also, I tried to look few pages back, but didn't saw thread of this. Found one by search but it was bit different though than this, so figured I would create a new one, hope its okay. If not, mods can remove this thread
vertical jumps vertical jumps, land in a squat inchworms inchworms with push ups skater squats lunge jumps burpees tuck jumps
Thanks, there will be lot of jumping then Im sure my legs will remind me about that later... And damn, inch worm move looks... Creepy
basically any plyometrics would do it: clap push ups sprints squat jumps(or one leg if ur advanced) box jumps vertical jumps clap pull ups skater jumps jump rope lunge jumps/split squat jumps depth jumps slams(with medicine ball) medicine ball chest pass/toss etc......
Ive often heard that kipping is cheating with a pull up,thats because they are infact two completely different exercises, achieving two different objectives.so i depends what your training for with an ordinary pull up, the idea is to pull yourself up isolating parts of the body to train the specific parts,like a pull down machine,your body in a stable position isolating certain muscle groups, like the back etc, pull ups are an exercise for strength pull ups clip [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZF0Uz7rty8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZF0Uz7rty8[/ame] now with kipping pull ups they are designed to use the whole body in an explosive flowing movement,strengthening the kinetic chain as a whole,not just isolating certain muscles,this makes a kipping pull up an "explosive move for bodyweight training" the kipping pull up [ame="www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cTAJnIGm6c"]www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cTAJnIGm6c[/ame] and like with any exercise push yourself to hard and you will injure yourself,ive trained pull ups but never kipping pull ups,I dont think my back could take the whip.
