Plyometric Training: Always Measure Your Progress
If you want to maximize the result of training, never start off with plyometrics with the understanding that you will have superior vertical jumps in an instant. This is surely naive and may lower your expectations when you discover that it is not the case.
You should find a method to gauge or test the progress of a movement such as a vertical jump, which will be assisted with plyometrics. Record the development of verticals in three to six weeks intervals starting from your original vertical before getting into plyometric training.
Following these instructions will maintain your motivational level since you can determine how much you have developed. Moreover, it allows you to compare various training programs in order to determine which plyometric drill is best suited to maximize your potential in the shortest time possible.
