Converting Slow-Twitch to Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers

[Sharla]

ohh alright, as for plyometrics, don't you have to squat at least 1.5x your weight and bench your bodyweight? seeing that i can't do that yet, for safety should i achieve that first?

Don't quote my on this but I'm pretty sure that it's 60% or lighter than your one rep max for that particular exercise.

Yeah I think if you read up on it a bit the literature generally agrees more with using lighter weight than your max as Adam says. Using at least 1.5 X your body weight sounds a bit extreme to the point where injuries like the ones Scrap is talking about are pretty likely!

To be honest when I do plyometrics like for example burpies I feel fine not adding any extra weight at all! I think you might get better info in this if you can say specifically which plyometric exercises you were thinking of?
