The Effect of Training with Weightlifting Catching or Pulling Derivatives on Squat Jump and Countermovement Jump Force–Time Adaptations

“…These findings may be explained by the inclusion of several weightlifting pulling derivatives that used loads in excess of their 1RM PC (e.g., mid-thigh pull, countermovement shrug, and clean pull from the floor) within the training program of the OL group. Previous literature suggests that using pulling derivatives in this manner may provide a greater force overload stimulus compared to training with submaximal loads [ 14 , 27 , 33 ]. Moving heavier loads from a static position with maximal intent mimics the demands of the SJ, thus allowing for greater transfer to performance.…”

“…Specifically, pulling derivatives may be prescribed with loads in excess of a one repetition maximum (1RM) catching variation (e.g., mid-thigh pull and countermovement shrug [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]) to benefit force production (i.e., strength) or submaximal loads with more ballistic exercises (e.g., jump shrug and hang high pull [ 21 ]) to benefit velocity characteristics. A recent study compared the training effects of load-matched catching or pulling derivatives and weightlifting pulling derivatives that included a force and velocity overload stimulus [ 33 ]. The results of the previous study showed that training with pulling derivatives that use a force and velocity overload stimulus resulted in the greatest improvements in multi-joint isometric and dynamic strength, short sprint, and change of direction performance.…”

“…It was hypothesized that the OL group would produce the greatest improvements in SJ and CMJ force–time characteristics, while no differences will exist between the CATCH and PULL groups in line with previous research [ 26 ]. The authors would like to acknowledge that the data from the present study and a previous study [ 33 ] are related and were collected as part of the same project. However, the authors felt that the vertical jump data needed to be presented separately in order to provide a more thorough analysis of SJ and CMJ force–time (continuous) data (compared to the discrete data in the previous study), while also respecting word, figure, table, and reference limits of the previous journal and not overwhelming readers with large datasets.…”

Determining the Peak Power Output for Weightlifting Derivatives Using Body Mass Percentage: A Practical Approach

“…This practical solution for PPO prescription can be considered disadvantageous. When WPD are employed in training programs (i.e., exercises of less technical complexity) (Suchomel et al, 2014b(Suchomel et al, , 2015bSuchomel and Sole, 2017), the athletes are still required to learn and be proficient in WCD (i.e., exercises of high technical complexity) only for load prescription (Comfort et al, 2018;Suchomel et al, 2020). In other words, even when utilizing exercises with lesser technical complexity and; therefore, easier to learn and implement in training programs, athletes are still required to dedicate a significant amount of time to the learning of highly complex exercises.…”

Weighted Baseball Training Affects Arm Speed without Increasing Elbow and Shoulder Joint Kinetics

“…Many athletic training programs attempt to emphasize overloading the body for speed and strength gain while also avoiding the promotion of undesired mechanical adaptations. This DOI: 10.31236/osf.io/pzh8a 4 manipulation of resistance and training load has been studied thoroughly for speed training in various sports, typically by measuring sprints and jump testing for the performance outcomes (Gil et al, 2018;Girold et al, 2006;Rodriguez-Rosell et al, 2020;Suchomel et al, 2020). Previous literature has also posited that there are many options for increasing resistance and load to training exercises such as sprinting, and "the coach should use a high resistance so that the athlete experiences a large training stimulus, but not so high that the device induces substantial changes in sprinting technique" (Alcaraz et al, 2008).…”
