Jason Lau

[FOUR SPEED & AGILITY] is the last of the [FOUR Series] and for athletes that have completed [FOUR POWER]. This is a program focused on building an athlete's reactive strength and Stretch-Shortening Cycle (SSC) by utilizing plyometric, ballistic and special strength exercises. Resulting in enhanced muscle and tendon capabilities to store and release elastic energy present in all sporting actions.

Spanning over 6 weeks, this intermediate-level program features 2-3 dedicated strength and power sessions, with an optional robustness session crafted to safeguard joints and tendons in injury-prone zones. While the focus lies on plyometrics and ballistic maneuvers, the inclusion of specialized strength exercises ensures a holistic approach to strength development, making it a comprehensive and balanced regimen

Reactive Strength and Performance
By incorporating plyometric, ballistic, and specialized exercises, the program hones an athlete's ability to generate explosive power, crucial for striking or any explosive movement. This translates to improved speed off the mark and heightened agility on the mats.

FAQs
How can I schedule my S&C sessions alongside my skill sessions?
Not to worry, I have included clear instructions/protocols within each session description to help you organize your training week properly.
What if I do not have access to a landmine attachment?
To create a makeshift landmine attachment, place one end of the barbell facing a corner with a heavy dumbbell placed across on top of that same end to secure it.
Can I substitute the kettlebell exercises with dumbbells?
Yes, all kettlebell exercises in this program can be done with a dumbbell. For Kettlebell Swings, simply place the dumbbell in a vertical manner and hold onto the top with both hands (the weighted end, not the handle).
What if I do not know the One Rep Max (1RM) of my strength lifts?
For those that have completed [FOUR STRENGTH] program, you should have access to your relative 1RMs. For those that did not complete the testing week, I have included specific instructions within the exercise description of the program.
