Link of the Day: Learning about Plyometric Training from Werner Günther Videos

Werner Günther was the best shot putter Switzerland has ever produced.

His coach, Jean-Pierre Egger has a brilliant athletic mind. JP also coached Olympic shot put champion Valerie Adams.

Plyometric training was a key ingredient in Günther’s training. Today’s link(s) are a 4-part video series documenting Günther’s plyometric workouts.

This is one of the most complete catalogues of plyometric exercises I’ve ever come across.

I hope you’ll learn a lot, as I did, about plyometrics from watching these videos. If nothing else you will be entertained and amazed at what a 282-lb body can do.

Enjoy. | jm
