Off Season - Elastic Superpowers

The Off Season - Elastic Superpower program is a comprehensive training program for those who feel like an elastic athlete (Flash - Superhero), with a predominance of maximum speed, a feeling of being "quick to get off the ground and move" and who have deficits in the production of strength and muscle mass (Hulk - Superhero). It focuses on improving various aspects of performance such as speed, strength, agility, and power, as well as developing skills necessary for success in their sport. 

Evaluation Process - Subjective Evaluation: How do you know you are elastic driven?

1. Narrow Infrasternal Angle (ISA) - Less than 100 degrees
2. The most Elastic athletes are probably not going to prefer, like or feel potentiated in any way from heavy bilateral movements through a large ROM, whereas your Muscular driven athletes will typically thrive off this.
3. Jump Rope Test - Procedure:

• Jump Rope for an allotted amount of time (1:30-2min)
• Barefoot
• I believe there to be na inherent coordination & rhythm present in Elastic Movement, so the “skill” portion of this assessment is welcomed
• At the end of the allotted time, collect the RPE of the individual jumping. 
  More Elastic individuals SHOULD report a lower RPE because of better use of Free Energy from Connective Tissue, whereas Muscular Driven individuals will leverage more musculature which results in a much higher metabolic cost.
• Jumping rope a fantastic development tool for Elastic Qualities + evaluate over time if the same task is being perceived as easier.
  Potentially eluding to a small Shift in the ability to leverage connective tissue as opposed to musculature.

What's the goal?

The goal is to improve your deficits and ending with a reinforcement of what are your superpowers.
