In Episode 13 of the Nervous System Training Podcast, we dive deep into plyometric training methods, sprinting on assault bikes, and the misunderstood world of functional movement. We answer listener questions about effectively incorporating hurdles, box jumps, skipping, and cardio equipment into training routines—especially for fighters.

Quintin shares insights into common misconceptions about plyometrics, how to truly leverage explosive training for combat sports, and why traditional plyometric exercises might not always translate into real-world athleticism. We also dissect popular training methods, including knees-over-toes movements and dorsiflexion hops, and clarify what's beneficial and what's simply trendy.

Whether you're training for fights, general athleticism, or looking to prevent injury, this episode clarifies what actually works for explosive strength, injury resilience, and real functional adaptation.
