Westside Barbell Plyo Swing #3218
Another brilliant patent-protected device perfected by Louie Simmons, the Plyo Swing is powerful ally in the quest for greater explosive strength in the legs. Based on weighted swing machines originally developed by the Soviets, Louie found an ideal plyometric device once the use of resistance bands were added to the design.
When resistance bands are strung among the various pegs of the undercarriage, the user can train using the principle of overspeed eccentrics. After each push off of the foot platform, the user is accelerated back into the foot platform with greater force than weights alone. The harder the push off, the harder the return and the more kinetic energy that is stored in the soft tissue and muscle of the user. This results in a tremendous strength reflex that improves the jumping and sprinting ability of athletes and boosts the squatting strength of powerlifters.
Once a level of proficiency is achieved, add weight to the sled and take everything to the next level!
A very large 34 x 28 inch aluminum landing platform increases safety and landing techniques and features a thick layer of rubber. Multiple band pegs are complemented by several weight load pegs. Eight weight storage pegs are located on the outside of the frame. All pegs are chrome-plated and Olympic-sized. An adjustable stopper at the base of the swing keeps the user from skinning his shins on a missed landing. A JEG'S drag racing seat keeps the user comfortably and safely in place throughout the exercise.
The Westside Barbell Plyo Swing. The last word in explosive overspeed training for the legs.
