Plyometrics train your nervous system for explosive power. They're essential for muscle-ups, jumping skills, and dynamic movements. You'll start with jump squats and clap push-ups, progress to box jumps, depth jumps, and explosive pull-ups. This chain builds the fast-twitch fibers that generate speed and power. Train it 1-2 times per week, always fresh and well-warmed. Most athletes see power improvements in 4-6 weeks of consistent plyometric training.
