Before using BBM templates, I followed some of the workouts of Ross Enamait. For context, he is a trainer for combat athletes (most notably Katie Taylor) and his programs are often focused heavily on anaerobic conditioning. In some of his workouts, Ross designs some strength training around a “static-dynamic” protocol. These often involve something like an isometric hold or slow strength movement (like a wall squat or moderately heavy bench press) followed immediately (no rest) with some explosive movement (like squat jumps or plyometric pushup ). The study he cites is fairly old [1], but I’m curious if the BBM team has any thoughts on this type of workout and if it has any unique benefits regarding explosive movements.
