I added a dynamic finisher to today's workout with an exercise that I consider plyometric in nature. We took the hex bar and put it on the second pin. The idea is to jump as high as you can while holding the hex bar. Upon ground contact, absorb the shock by immediately decelerating the weight back down to the pins. Rhythmically, do five reps in succession.
We added a good amount of weight while maintaining serious "hang time". The funny thing was to watch some of the taller fellas actually check over their heads as if they were going to bang it on the crossbar of the EliteFTS 3x3 power rack. Yea, right! hahaha...I kept adding weight and that elevated the chance altogether.
The only issue I have is what the heck do I call these things? Jump Hex bar squat? Jumping deadlifts with the hex bar? Maybe I'll name them after one of my cool teammates.
