Questions, comments, and insults are welcome. ;D

Hi RJ

Best of luck with project Phoenix. You obviously have a lot of training knowledge but like many of us, don't always practice what we preach. I would love to hear more about your reasoning for using and the benefits of 5 second trampoline sprints. I assume this is just flat out sprinting on the spot on a mini trampoline but I was wondering what this is supposed to od. I remember reading about the mini tramp jumps in the Inno-sport book but haven't given them much thought since.

Cheers

Jack

You said it. Knowing what you need to do and actually doing it are two different things. I'm hoping outlining all of this will force me to do the things I hate.

As for the trampoline sprints, yes, they're just sprinting upright in-place on a mini trampoline. They're supposed to be used to teach quicker muscular relaxation in a minimal impact-stress environment, but I'll be using them primarily as a means of metabolic training when I don't have a hill available for hill sprints. They're a lot more taxing than you'd think when you get up to 6+ strides per second.

Haha, training like this sucks, but I've been needing to do it for so long.

And I don't know if I'll be incorporating HF squats again for a long time. I love them as a movement, by SL ISO DLs are awesome too. I've never seen another exercise that crushes my glutes nearly as well without over-recruiting the adductors.
