ACL REHAB = Box Jumps & PLYOS 🦵🏾🦵🏾
Post Surgery: 7 8 & 9 Months
So This Is A Longish, but Hopefully Informative Post If BOX Jumping Is In Your Wkouts or HIIT Classes
(Please Take The Time To Read) 👀🤜🤛🏾
So As Youll See (& by My Reaction) In My First Two Jumps, My Feet Land Unevenly = Bummer
= This Means I Have To Re-Adjust My Take Off Which Will Hopefully Help My Landing.
= This Requires A Deeper Knee Bend, With My Knees & Heels Even Width Apart
= Getting Lower Into My Glutes 🍑🍑
= Launching With Both Heels Flat & Even,
Which Prevent My Knees Coming In Together
= Trying To Land In A Similar Position To My Takeoff Position, With Heels & Kneels Equally Distanced.
Sooo Having Said All That, As You’ll See I Was Able To Adjust My SQUAT Before Take Off & My Last Reps Of Both Box Jump Sets Are Much Better In The Videos 🍑💪🏾💪🏾🦵🏾🦵🏾
The Biggest MISCONCEPTION In Box Jumps Is That Its A QUAD Burner 🔥🔥 & In Someways It Is 🧠
but
If You Are Performing Them For POWER & Height
= Then It Should Be All About Your GLUTES 🍑
= Your GLUTES Are Your Biggest & Strongest Muscles, So They Should Be Recruited FIRST, Before Hammies & Quadzillahs.
So When Doing Your PLYOS = Box Jumps 🪽🪽🧚🏾
= Get Ya Bum DOWN & Drive Through Your Heels To Promote Your GLUTES Which Will Propel You 🆙🆙 & Away
= As You Wanna FLY FLY FLY 🕊️🪽🪽
So I Hope This Posts, Helps You To Engage
Your Glutes In Plyometric & Box Jumps, As Your Quads Will “Burn” Out = Creating Fatigue & Poor Form 🙏🏾🍑🍑
Thanks For Listening, Reading & All Your Support 🙏🏾
HAPPY & Safe Jumping 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
