@_aclwonders: Before you jump into plyometrics, make sure you have built that foundation first, as there’s nothing more important than having a strong foundation. Comment “BANDS” for my Top 20 ‘Must Do’ Banded Exercises to build the foundation so you can become stronger, faster, and more explosive than ever before. Especially coming back from a knee injury, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is jumping straight into plyometrics without developing the strength and stability needed to handle them. Your feet, ankles, soleus, calves, quads, hamstrings, hip flexors, groin, and glutes all play a major role in your ability to produce, absorb, and control force. Before focusing on explosiveness, you need to rebuild muscle activation, strength, and the ability to tolerate force throughout the entire kinetic chain. After having 3 ACL surgeries, I learned that the stronger your foundation becomes, the better prepared your body is for higher-intensity plyometrics. Build the foundation first. Then build the explosiveness.
