Oscillation Training for Strength, Speed, Agility, and Explosiveness - Book in description 

Haha I see said the blind man.

Resistance bands are great for oscillation training.

Hello, thanks for your comment and for watching the video. I am glad you liked it. I will be posting some more oscillation videos in the next few weeks, so stay tuned! For MMA, it is perfect for developing reflexes, speed, and explosiveness. Do you have long resistance bands?

@@balancedbodyjk Yes I have 3 different kinds of resistance bands. The ones that look like noodles with handles, the bands that are like long strips, and circular thin ones. In several different weights. If you could do a video specifically on drills for MMA I would hugely appreciate that. With or without bands. Whatever you think is most critical.

@@HolisticHealthCoachingNY That is exactly what I was thinking to do a video. So I will do with and without bands and add in some others.

@@balancedbodyjk I can't wait to see that! Thank you :)

Hey, thanks for your comment. In the context of tendons, oscillation training is about enhancing the contraction and relaxation of muscles rather than specifically targeting tendon strength. Strengthening tendons best involves slow, controlled eccentric movements and isometric holds. Time under tension does it best. In my book Instant Strength, oscillation training is the third level after slow eccentric and isometric training. The first two levels develop tendon and muscle strength to train muscles and tendons to absorb force. When you increase the force absorption rate, muscles and tendons will perform best with speed, oscillation, complex, and contrast training programs.

Isometrics is very good for tendon.. Timed holds...etc

it's more for improving muscle RFD+- wich is indeed the most important factor to get faster/more explosive (especially faster sprinting)

Thanks for your comment. Are you referring to HIIT?

@@balancedbodyjk 🙂 maybe yes,too

I Prefer it front. Don't need the safety. But I do recomend it for people who are not so confident with their squat to use them or lifting heavy weight. I have been squatting for more than 30 years. Thanks for your comment.

I prefer not brushing my teeth before I go to bed. I've been doing that for 30 years.

@@nikitaw1982cmon b nice.

@@marskat131 how many videos of pros being folded like pretzels cause prefer not to use the safetys?

Thanks for your concern. But I am not a pro. If I were making 10 million and trying to peak strength from 1 rep, safety bars are essential, and I would use them to train pros. But I am not trying to squeeze strength through eccentric failure methods. I do not believe in going more than 3 controlled reps; no need, even if you are a pro. If I had a safety squat rack, sure, I would squat in the rack cage. But I don't have them. The thumbnail is not me, the video is. And if a pro is folding like a pretzel, I'm sorry that is their fault for loading too much weight on the bar or the trainer's fault for not teaching them how to squat properly. There are times I am tired and don't feel I can squat 170kg 3 times, so I don't go there. That is smart. So, your training, my training, and pro training are all different. And the best training is injury-free training and knowing what your body can do. Again, thanks for your comment and concern. Have a great day.

Hello, thanks for the question. You can do all the exercises, but it depends on why you train. If it is general, you can incorporate the OSCT with every other set. I use OSCT squats as a stimulation before jumping. I also use it in my complex training, where I do four exercises: one 85% strength movement, the OSCT, the dynamic exercise, and then assisted. I like OSCT incorporated into my routine. You can do a strict OSCT routine, but I like the combination because it creates a more significant effect. But you can do it the way you asked. Does that answer your question? Thanks!

@@balancedbodyjk That does answer my question, yes. I think I'd like to do OSCT for 1 set per muscle group 1x/wk. How does that sound at the end of each set? How many reps should I be targeting in general? Thanks for your reply!
