Shock Method

Shock Method is a particular method of Special Strength Training and has been used by many world record breaking athletes of different countries. Finally this landmark text fully elucidates the concept that was birthed over 50 years ago. It has been interpreted, many times incorrectly, by many people over this time. Now for the first time in english, Dr Verkhoshansky, the “father” of the Shock Method (known in the West primarily as Plyometrics) is able to set the record straight posthumously with the help of his star pupil and daughter,  Dr Natalia Verkhoshansky.

Depth Jumps, Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC) and Reactive training are widely used terms used to describe the method. The book contains a detailed description of Shock Method and the rules of its application as well as many examples; a short history of its invention and evolution; the research conducted by the authors on its training effect and the examples of successful training programs using the Shock Method.
