What's force absorption you ask?
To make this simple as can be think of your muscles and tendons as rubber bands. If you pull the rubber band back 10cms you get little spring back when you let it go.
Let's take that same rubber band and pull it back as far as it can go and what happens? It flies across the room and hits your grade 1 teacher in the eye!! (somewhat true)
So if we liken force absorption to pulling back the rubber band, then it's clear that force absorption is going to do a lot for us athletically.
The most critical benefit it has is it will enable you to "put out" more force in the from of running faster and jumping higher, both a product of how much force you can exert into the ground.
We used the same set up phase 1 training multiple days in a row until we reached our drop off point.
Here's what we did:
The main focus of these "drop and catch" exercises is to have your muscles contract, relax and then contract again as hard as possible. If you're muscles are contracting all the time you won't get anywhere.
Don't believe me?
Tense your arm up and and do 10 upper cuts as fast as you can. Now do them with a relaxed arm.
The ability to turn on and turn off your muscles in a split second can be the difference being good and being great.
Hey what am I wearing in the altitude drop video? This:
Yes he claims big results but this has been recommended to me by a person who has used this actual product and had great gains from it and it only cost me $50 (+ $50 shipping!!).
The next phase is force output which starts tomorrow.
