ok i have to know what you guys are doing year round for your jumpers!!!
LSU has 3 guys jumping over 52 feet!!
lsu has to be doing something right year round with these guys..
can u give me a template of a year round schedule for these jumpers and what aspects they focus on year round?
i am extremely curious after reading about their jumeprs on the web..wow
what do they do for…

i guess i dont need to know their weight room stuff cause we have a thread designated for that…
(i want to know the non-weight stuff)
thanks mike..
if this is not appropriate for the board u can email me or something i guess
Sorry I missed this thread. I didn’t even know it existed. The jumper’s template is almost identical to Pfaff’s template (which was recently posted somewhere on the board). The details and technical training however are what separate the LSU jumps program from others.
one of things about Boo is the way that uses “seemingly unsophisticated” means to teach basic and advanced concepts....
e.g., anyone can do a multi-jump circuit or acceleration runs… but **how you do them** and **what you teach** when the athletes do them determines their overall effectiveness.
Good point Kebba. I guess I’ve kind of taken it for granted having been around it for so long now. When I first got to LSU though that was one of the first things that stood out.....making and using very rudimentary exercises and drills as technique work and teaching tools for more specific and advanced skills.

I learned more about throwing each t & f implement by working with a med ball with Boo in daily college practice at UL Lafayette. I also learned how similar every single field event is to one another.

Boo knows "mechanics".......... if these are in sequence, the drills work. He takes bounding and makes it easier, less intense - not to baby an athlete, but to get that spinal alignment and avoid butt out posture. That simple thing will give you a much better perspective on a jumpers practice performance.
So much is written about workouts, weights, .............. I research it all myself and I find value in the materials. But, if you don't get the most basic principles down. It's all for S _ _ _! or should I say naught'

Need help here; I'm a CSCS and Level II coach, but I am having difficulty convincing some of my throwers/jumpers that the "triple extension" / firing sequence of the the neuromuscular system is more important than the poundage when we apply this to our events.
I've researched Dr. Mike Stone, Gambetta, much of the European system - any ideas out there so I can be a bit more convincing? I'm not against max strength, but I often don't see this crossing over in my testing ( VJ, SLJ, STJ, multi throws ). I'm using a bit of complex training and will begin more plyo work nearing indoor season.
I appreciate any feedback. Mike Goss, Kennesaw State U. field events coach
When strength qualities aren't expressed in jump performance general work is often lacking. Boo feels very strongly about this. When this is the case I'd back off the really intense weight work (>80%) and up the volume of lower intensity general strength, medball, and other work.

Mike,
Do you/Boo feel this is the case regarding sprints as well? Obviously there is a point of diminishing returns, but say you increase your weight numbers(bench, squat, clean, etc.) yet in your first 30m your times aren't dropping at all, do you think you can use the same criteria of reducing >80% loads and upping the volume of low int. gs, medball, etc.

I'm primarily working with sprinters now and this is one of my favorite options...especially in-season.

I've also heard of others doing similar for athletes that end to gain weight even with low volume, high intensity weights. Reduce the volume of weights really low, increase the volume of explosive multi throws, as well increase volume of low intensity - gs circuits, medball circuits, etc.

Increases in weight numbers can also come at the expense of other strength qualities, especially the elastic qualities.
