the idea behind it is good - intensity, focus on the “big” lifts, mobility
problems come from making people compete (with themselves really) which drives intensity but also leads to injuries on those “big” lifts as people sacrifice form for an extra rep etc
I think it is still expensive in Ireland considering the basic gym set up people are training in - most “boxes” here don’t have showers or didn’t when I checked
but yeah a lot that people could borrow from it into their own exercises and you do see its influences in regular gyms in terms of what people are doing
Plyometrics are neuromuscular exercises. So doing them fatigued leads to poor mechanics. Along somewhat similar lines to guys having landing issues late in games and doing an ACL. When a seemingly simple movement or land get complicated. You effectively short circuit.
It’s mostly full of people with nothing in their lives an live and work in horrible jobs they hate and live with or marry people they actually dislike. They are the only ones who carry it on. Most sensible people know it’s retarded, and you don’t need a sports science degree for it either.
i usually scatter some gravel over the course, as well as improving the leg strength with the prowler, the continual bumping and instability is very good for a lower core workout and lateral vertebrae extension thrusts

i find it to be a tremendous exercise especially done in a group of 4-5, great for preseason in July mostly when you have done nothing from mid may - end of june and are a bit soft… its fuck all use really during the season tho, like most gym activities it can become very boring, id imagine going to “the gym” 3 nights a week alternating between chest tries back n bies is a lot more entertaining, you’d acheive some amazing goals id say
