If you want to build elite explosiveness, don’t neglect single-leg power.

Athletes need to be able to produce force efficiently off one leg, not just two. Sprinting, cutting, jumping, and changing direction all require the ability to produce a high amount of force quickly on a single leg.

That’s why it’s a staple in our programming.

Here are 3 exercise to help develop it:

1️⃣ Sprinter Step-Up Med Ball Vertical Toss — Ballistic vertical force production.

2️⃣ Single-Leg Broad to Box Jump — Transitioning from horizontal to vertical force.

3️⃣ Single-Leg Double Broad Jumps — Maximizing horizontal force production and the rate at which force is produced off one leg.

You don’t build complete athletes by only training bilateral strength and power. Develop both sides of the equation.

DM us to get started with athlete performance training.

Basketball total body lift with a focus on building upper body strength with isometric emphasis to maximize muscle recruitment and develop tendon strength.

From there, we’re doing a lower auxiliary superset with elevated reverse lunges to build single leg strength and RDL’s to target the posterior chain.

Finishing with an upper body and core circuit to round out the session.

Basketball players need to be strong enough to produce force and explosive enough to use it.

A stronger lower body gives you a foundation to build your vertical jump, acceleration, and overall athletic performance.

The trap bar deadlift is a great starting point for developing max lower body strength. From there, we can use jumps and plyometrics to develop your ability to express that force quickly.

Want to jump higher and become a more explosive athlete? Start building your strength.

Strength training isn’t optional if you want to maximize your athletic potential.

Isometrics are a great tool for improving athletes strength and performance. They’re not just for rehab and recovery.

We like using isometrics especially early in our programming to help the athletes build strength that specific joint angles, improve tendon stiffness and joint stability, address asymmetries and strength imbalances, and improve muscle recruitment and force production.

This helps better physically prepare the athletes for higher volumes and intensity of plyometrics and speed work as they progress through the program.

Overcoming ISO’s.
Yielding ISO’s.
High intensity/short duration ISO’s.
Dynamic ISO’s.

There’s different ways to incorporate them all throughout athletes programming to continually improve their durability and performance.

Heres a jump series with the St. Pete HS Basketball team to develop force production through both bilateral and unilateral movements.

Loaded jumps expose the athlete to higher forces than bodyweight jumping alone. That gives them a progressive way to produce force into the ground and absorb force when they land, building their capacity to handle those forces safely and efficiently.

As the athletes get stronger and more comfortable under load, we can transition to faster, more dynamic jumps where the goal is to produce and absorb force more rapidly.

1. Dumbbell squat jumps - bilateral force production
2. Dumbbell lunge jumps - unilateral force production
3. Weighted box jumps - bilateral max effort + explosive power
4. Single-leg approach box jumps - dynamic unilateral power

Every rep is performed with intent to train the athletes to produce force quickly and explosively.

If you’re serious about becoming a more explosive athlete, DM us to schedule a session!
