Lateral Lunge With Push Off

Exercise Index, VideoLeave a comment

The lateral lunge with pushoff is an explosive power exercise that develops change of direction ability and lateral movement mechanics essential for athletic performance. This progression from the standard lateral lunge emphasizes aggressive pushoff and reactive strength to build the neuromuscular patterns athletes need for cutting, decelerating, and reaccelerating in sports. Learn proper execution, programming recommendations, and how to progress this bodyweight or loaded exercise for maximum lateral power development.

Band Resisted Broad Jump

The band resisted broad jump is an advanced plyometric exercise that builds explosive lower body power by combining traditional broad jump mechanics with variable resistance training. This progression challenges athletes to generate greater horizontal force while maintaining proper landing mechanics, making it ideal for developing sport-specific power and reactive stability. Perfect for athletes who have mastered basic broad jumps, this exercise requires only a resistance band and anchor point to create a powerful training stimulus that translates directly to improved athletic performance.
