I am very happy that this blog is beginning to advance, and even more ecstatic about the reader participation. I recently received a message from a reader, asking me if he could use his home dumbbell set to add difficulty to his plyometric training setup. I had not planned to touch on this till later in the month, but refuse to leave a readers question unanswered.

Weighted plyometrics are definitely a great addition to any athletic or strength training program, though they themselves should no be conducted using heavy weights. They give your body an added challenge of resistance, training your body to work harder, building up even more strength to use on the playing field. Training your body with weights trains your body to work harder even when the resistance is not present. Weighted plyometrics can be performed using dumbbells, weight plates, resistance bands, and many other types of collateral. Though some trainers require trainees to choose between weighted or unweighted, I strongly support incorporating both into your workout program. Varying between the two will train your body to incorporate the workout you have done more properly, especially when in an athletic environment.
