I have a few questions concerning strength training.
1.) I was wondering if there was a big difference between maximal leg strength and explosive power?
Is someone who can do single leg squats also good at jumping and explosiveness and vice versa?
2.) How many single leg squats and squat jumps should a L8 gymnast be able to do in a row?
3.) Is there any other method to measure leg strength in gymnastics? Like pull-ups and push-ups for arms, leg lifts for legs....
4.) Once a gymnast can do "hard exercises" like full leg lifts, 90 degree leg lifts, L-Sits and press handstands...is there a need to continue with hollow rocks?
Thanks!
