Why Perform Plyo Box Training?

A Russian researcher, Dr. Verkhoshansky Yuri developed the concept of plyo box training to help athletes improve their endurance and speed. Plyo box training also increases muscle strength and bone density. Since this exercise requires endurance and stamina, we recommend that you wear a MASS Suit to add additional resistance to your training to boost your power.

This type of exercise is usually intense and if you are not careful, you might get injured. Wearing a MASS Suit eliminates the worries of getting injured because it designed in a way that protects you injuries. This way, you are able to focus on your upcoming competition.

Experts recommend that you carry out between 3 and 5 sets of about 10 repetitions. Below are some of the plyo box workouts that will help to enhance your agility and power:

1. Step Ups and Lateral Step Overs

Steps ups are best for body conditioning and increasing the strength of your leg muscles. Adding resistance to this exercise with a body MASS Suit boosts one’s agility and endurance, something that every athlete strives to acquire. With this full body resistance suit, you do not need to add extra weight using dumbbells or a sandbag during your workouts. Lateral step overs improve your body’s functionality and coordination that allows athletes to utilize their full power.

2. Elevated Knee touches and Box Jumps

These workouts are essential for improving your core and arm strength. This power exercise improves an athlete’s force and neural recruitment to help efficiently activate muscle fibers in the body. Wearing a MASS Suit decreases fatigue and allows you to burst through plateaus during sprinting competitions. Remember, muscles expand and contract rapidly. If too much force is applied to them, they can easily rupture. This full body resistance suit applies the right force for both eccentric and concentric muscle movements, hence preventing injury.

3. Front box Jumps and Lateral Box Jumps

The best way to increase one’s vertical jump is by performing the front box jump. This workout strengthens your quadriceps. Wear a MASS Suit in a squat position and explode vertically as you jump on to the box. The full body resistance suit produces stretch-shortening cycles that helps your muscles to explode with more force that ultimately boosts your overall performance.

While on the track, athletes require muscle strength and endurance to remain competitive. Combining the Plyometric box training with the MASS Suit maximizes the ability of your muscles to stretch and contract explosively.

4. Bulgarian Box Lunge and the Split Box Lunge

These workouts are essential for boosting leg strength and muscle power for quadriceps. They are best performed with 6 sets of 5 repetitions. For the best outcome, I recommend that you add resistance training using the MASS Suit to enhance your lunge thrusts. Plyometric training with additional resistance training has shown to make significant progress in increasing full body strength and power.
