my question is that is it okay if i do plyos if i can’t squat 1.5x my bodyweight. i have been training for about a week now. i lift 3 days a week and sprint 3 days a week. i do plyos once a week. i do box jumps, squat jumps, and bounding.
i read online that most people start doing plyos when they can squat around 1.5x their bodyweight. i don’t want to hurt myself. should i stop doing plyos until i reach a 1.5x bodyweight squat.

Training for about a week?
Do little kids have to have a 1.5xBW squat before they start jumping around and playing? The human body was meant to move and jump like that- I think that unless you’re morbidly obese, there’s nothing wrong with throwing some plyos into a workout.
But if you’ve only been working out a week, I think you should be more focused on the basics than plyos and the like.

You got to love this kid though.
