How to Spike a Volleyball with POWER | Secrets you MUST KNOW from Biomechanics Expert Isaac Kneubuhl 

Lmfao 💀

lol

so real

I understand what he's saying but when I applied it it doesn't really feel like my muscles are being activated. Can you explain it a bit better or point out the key points here please?

Thanks! We enjoyed making it!

Appreciate it!

Archery uses it a lot. If you are looking for a new hobby that could benefit this muscle.

Had to google who that was. ?

@@betteratbeachvolleyball Sorry, obscure reference 😂

ha ha ha... Nice one

@@MarkMyerson Not that obscure tho

Oh man that's funny.

Thanks! What was the best part?

@@betteratbeachvolleyball teaching us where to drive power from was really useful! Also you explaining the biomechanics was really useful as well.

Played indoor middle blocker ? A lot of them have this tendancy to jump keeping the hitting hand in front and using shoulder to do a quick hit on the ball. Easier to get those passing quick sets, but losing a lot of power.

@@charleslavalliere Not from indoor, but I'm doing exactly what you said. I do like quicker sets on beach as well. I have a hard time hitting a proper beach set.

@@tonybowen455 It is not a good practice. A lot of people use it to get better a quick set faster, but it introduces an improper arm swing and limits your options. Successful hitters have options, more than power. A good arm swing opens up your game : spike, roll, angles, hit deep or short, use wrist to add or remove spin (top or side), hit far from net, move around the block, etc... And you have only one mechanic to master instead of many that may affect your footwork and/or approach. Not an easy task, specially to work on by oneself alone. Still not necessary to have fun and enjoy volleyball. Depends how much you want to progress in a more competitive way.

@@charleslavalliere I wanna hit cbva B level. I need that whip action everyone has for a proper hard cross hit. I've been working on it, but it'll prob take me a while. I actually can't even get that whip feeling on a women's height net yet. Better at beach has great vids on their site and on here, so I'm still new to the proper mechanics of everything. It's been getting better slowly, but I also just want to jump higher so I can do whatever like on a women's net. =D

Only the side you swing with I think

High rows, banded face pulls. Pec stretches

Thank you!

Thanks for always adding to the videos Steve. Could you highlight what your question is here? Or was this a statement. Happy to help. Also always feel free.to jump into the conversation on VolleyChat facebook.com/groups/betteratbeach We've got a big community of great coaches and players there who would love to see and interact with your questions and answers there.

I believe the mistake was stretching the chest via the rear deltoids as the counter muscle instead of the rhomboids. Try pulling back the elbow of one arm with your rear deltoid with no rhomboid activation, versus pulling it back with your rhomboid with no rear deltoid activation.

Hermosa Beach baby!

@@betteratbeachvolleyball I heard they play volleyball there sometimes.

hahahaha

I did the same. then my arm went numb from nerve injuries so I started using my whole body to try to get my arm around. that messed up my back. If I had the tools I had now, I wouldve stayed sooo much healthier... You might want to try out this program.

Mark noticed that you tend to almost reach back when hitting sometimes . I know everyone is different (Casey hits late for sure). Phil often seems to have ball slightly behind too. ..Taylor has ball like 8.25” in front of him almost every time Can you comment on this .
