Why is using VertiMax different than plyometric training?
Plyometrics is similar to VertiMax training. However, VertiMax has two major advantages over plyometrics: a) VertiMax is more efficient at developing power at high speeds because it allows athletes to load their bodies with resistance that has NO MASS which allows them to conduct resisted plyometric training. With the added resistance, the athlete’s muscles are stimulated to strengthen and produce more power which is our primary goal. With conventional plyometrics, athletes are forced to use their own body weight as resistance every time they train. Thus the resistance they subject their body to will be the same every time they train. In a very short time period their strength gains will stagnate because their body has adapted to a fixed resistance (fixed body weight) and has no further stimulus (additional resistance) to urge strength development. You are going to peak out! b) Far too often we forget that half the speed equation for a two step movement is the time it takes to complete
