WEIGHTS & STRENGTH TRAINING TRANSFER 2: WAS I RIGHT? AND ARE DAN PFAFF & JEREMY FISCHER??? 👀🤔

In this video I follow up on last week’s one which looked in the main at Soviet era transference (at the time of upload ). The video promoted much debate - although I do think that some may have not watched it and passed comment without seeing that I was not necessarily personally sayin weights don’t transfer. Rather I was indicating that certin sources and coaches from a former era don’t see the specific transference of weights to jumping as being at a high level - or using the work of Bondarchuk having a high coefficient of correlation. VIDEO Time-line Intro: I talk to some of the worl’d top coaches: Goran Obradovic (coach to Ivana Vuleta), Jeremy Fischer (coach to Will Claye), Aaron Gadson (coach to Thea Lafond) and Dan Pfaff (no intro needed!). 25sec: Perhaps my last video was misunderstood. As noted in the intro the video was about Soviet era thoughts in the main and I was going to bring this up to date in the next one (part 2 which will now have to wait). I state that weight training does have a role but let’s listen to some of the world’s top coaches. : Dan Pfaff He talks about generational activities as they relate to the event. Jumping off a full run-up in a competition is a first generaton activity ... he goes through his “generations, and for him weight training and plyometrics are a fourth generation activity... “What I we tryin to strenghten and How strong is strong enough?“ Jeremy Fischer He explains about his contiumum of applications and compares what young jumpers may need to what adult and elite jumpers may need - it’s obviously not the same. “... with elite athletes specificity is the most important thing.“ Do check out his MVA services : Goran Obradovic “With the development of strength speed and power are developed as well.“ : Aaaron Gadson “Lifting for jumpers is primarily about building resiliency.“ : I cover some of the questions and topics you guys raised in response to the prior video. They represent a cross section of opinions. One size does fit all Use of weighted sleds (a third generational transfer actitiy - better than weights??) Weights do contribute (it’s the extent of transfer) Some athletes respond more to weight training than others Elastic jumper example Psychological dimension (belief that what you will be doing works) Power to weight ratio summing up And look out for part 3 and maybe part 4. I have Frans Bosch to look at, for example.
