Episode notes
Use Jumping For Tendon Bounce
- Reintroduce jump rope and hopping to build tendon strength, rhythm, and effortless bounce.
- Start small, accept early mistakes, and progress a few weeks until rhythm and tendon-driven spring appear.
Progress Hops For Safer Plyometrics
- Practice varied hops (backward, lateral, single-leg) to build ankle and foot strength progressively.
- Keep plyometrics low at first and use small jumps to create a safe foundation for higher jumps later.
Microdose Skill Work Daily
- Microdose skill work like rope flow, juggling, or table tennis in short daily sessions outside the gym.
- These low-cost practices boost coordination, peripheral vision, and reflexes without derailing primary training.
