In the Zone - with Garrison Roy
EP 225: RANT The Truth About Plyos
In this episode, Garrison dives deep into the controversial world of plyo balls. He critiques popular drills like reverse throws, especially using heavy balls, for their potential negative impacts on strength.
🔍 We break down the evolution of plyo ball usage, the importance of context in training, and the dangers of focusing solely on velocity. Garrison explains how improper drills can corrupt movement patterns and why mindless repetition without purpose is a recipe for failure.
🚨 Learn about the importance of contextualized, game-like scenarios in training and how over-reliance on plyometrics can hinder rather than help your baseball performance.
