Plyometrics
Anybody had any experience with this top of shizzle ? I’ve been looking into it and spotted the great Mountain Dog talking about it (RIP). It’s hopping and skipping 🤣. Im going to test some Routines out as I don’t think it would hurt. Best do it whilst nobody is about 😳

Makes sure you have your arms bent 90 degrees at the elbow and sticking out to thr sides and let them bounce up and down as you’re skipping. Very important 😁
Warm UP
Hello super human people. Just wondering what everybody does to warm up before touching the weights. Do you do any band flexing and stretches etc ? I use a band and do a bit of dead hanging.

Nothing at all Stuie unless my shoulders are particularly tight, the I’ll do the shoulder rotations that Shaun recommended to me. I think if I was in a gym, I’d bf more inclined to do something as the equipment is all laid out and ready.
Reps
How many reps on warm ups is everybody doing ? I’ve been doing 3 each warm up. Maybe need to do more 🤣

@Gary Le Rosbifs Im glad you’ve asked that because it’s been rattling around in my mind too. Many moons ago, I read a magazine by a powerlifting luminary of that time, possibly Fred Hatfield, but I’ve slept since then. Whoever it was, stated that the body is designed to take any load at any time, which makes perfect sense, and that excessive warm ups merely increase the chance of injury by unnecessarily weakening the muscles before they are subjected to your maximum load of the workout, and that the way to achieve the best amount of stimulation was to start with your maximum load and remove weight each set. Like has been mentioned here earlier, for me it’s about the mind/muscle connection and feeling the groove. I know for a fact, that for me, Whwido warm up principle is the best Ive used. The Cheetah doesn’t perform any movement which is unnatural, whereas there is nothing natural about RT.

@Shaun Womersley @Gary Le Rosbifs Primer sets. Why aren’t they called primer sets? That’s absolutely on the money. Warm up sets is such a misnomer. Im calling them primer sets from now on
2 Second Pause
Since adding the 2 second pause on the eccentric part of the warm up lifts, I've made a valuable observation. It has allowed me to feel the point at which the load goes from present to diminishing/gone. A good example of this is lying dumbbell triceps extensions, skull crushers. In the bottom position, if I have gone too far with no pause, it's hard to recognise or judge accurately. With the pause, it becomes glaringly obvious. Has anyone else noticed the same?

@Shaun Womersley I tend to do that already, I think I probably have for the last couple of months. It gives me that control that Ive come to link mentally with good form.
Somatotypes
Years ago, somatotypes were on every weight trainers lips, now they are passé. I thought of myself as an ectomesomorph. More ecto than meso. What happened to those terms and how did/do you categorise yourself?
