Charlie’s comments in the Edmonton video about NOT doing drop jumps, squat jumps, and the like–even for high level athletes–also applies here.
The reason why complex weight/plyo training appears to work is analogous to why contrast training on the track appears to work: The stimulus (first) set obtains muscle recruitment at maximum or nearly maximum, then after an appropriate rest period the second set obtains maximum velocity at maximum force. But just like the assisted portion of contrast training on the track should not go faster than 10% beyond your current capabilities, stimulating your golgi mechanism waaaaaaaay beyond your present capability on the track does not serve a useful purpose (it’s training capability you can’t use). This is one of Charlie’s points early in the Edmonton lecture, and as he points out, the risk/reward of training something you can’t use is fairly obvious.
