Low-Tech High-Effect - Video Demo
By Ross Enamait - Published in 2004 Video OverviewThe Low-Tech High-Effect video provides readers with some ideas for strength and conditioning workouts. The movements from this clip are not meant to serve as a complete workout. The video simply offers readers with ideas to liven up their own workouts. The Specifics
- This video starts with a jump rope
demonstration. Various turning style are included. For more information
on jump rope training, as well as another video demo, check this article.
- Next, a simple combination is drilled on the heavy bag. Check this article for more information on heavy bag training.
- Next, a heavy sandbag is shouldered for reps. Sandbag shouldering
is a tremendous movement which will strengthen the entire body. This
form of “rounded back” lifting is tremendous for lower back
development. Although rounded back lifts may appear dangerous to the
novice, this form of lifting is actually both useful and functional.
This form of lifting is particularly useful for wrestlers and
grapplers.
- Dumbbell shot-puts are seen
next. While this movement may seem a bit odd, it is actually quite
useful for speed strength development within the upper body. One of the
limitations of conventional weight lifting is the deceleration phase
that takes place at the end of the lift. For example, when performing a
bench press, the lifter will decelerate at the end of the lift to avoid
launching the barbell into the air. The shot-put overcomes this
limitation. You are able to accelerate all the way through the
movement. Consider a fighter who throws a punch. He is trained to
“punch through” his opponent. The dumbbell shot-put is similar, as you
are able to explode “throughout” the movement (similarly to a medicine
ball throw).
- The knee tuck is seen next.
This movement is a tremendous lower body power developer. Explode into
the air, bringing the knees towards the chest. This movement will
develop powerful hip flexors. Minimize ground contact, while maximizing
hang time.
- Next, a plyometric pushup known as the power over
is demonstrated. The power over is excellent for reactive strength
development within the upper body. Explode quickly from side to side,
minimizing ground contact with the hands.
- Lastly, a standing wheel rollout is seen with a conventional ab roller.
