Triple-Extension Tips

 

• Because these exercises are high-intensity and high-energy, you should perform them at the beginning of your workout, after an appropriate warm-up. Simple movements like Lunges or Marches are a good idea, so you get the benefits of stretching without wearing yourself out.
• Don't go overboard with weight. You can see benefits by using light weight. The key is to employ a full range of motion and execute each rep under control.
• With jumps, limit yourself to no more than 80 reps to prevent injury.
• Because they can be hard on the body, you should have at least 48 hours of rest between triple-extension workouts.
  

Triple Extension

Triple extension is a type of movement used in exercise training programs to promote explosiveness, the production of force in a specific direction. This movement involves three sets of joints: the ankles, the knees, and the hips. Performing a triple extension involves moving from a bent position, in which all joints are primed and ready for movement, to a fully extended position in which all joints are essentially locked.

Triple Extension

“Triple extension is caused in much of Olympic weightlifting by the hip extension literally lifting the feet into a plantar flexed position, without much or any help from the calves and triple extension is often done simply for the lifter to move his feet to a different catch position rather than add to the force driving the bar”
