TRAINING TIP:
How Many Reps? Mar22
The rep range that you should use in the weight room should mirror your goals for athletic performance. If your goal is power, 1-5 reps per set work well. For a goal of muscle gain or hypertrophy 6-12 reps are ideal. Finally, if you’re looking for more muscular endurance, go with greater than 12 reps per set.
TRAINING TIP:
Plyometrics Mar15
Plyometrics are a type of training that use explosive movement to generate large amounts of force to propel an athlete’s body in specific direction. Even the most basic plyometric drills can help an athlete’s performance. Skipping and jumping rope are just a few basic plyometric exercises that can improve lower body speed, agility and coordination.
TRAINING TIP:
Movements vs Muscles Mar08
Athletes typically need to train movements rather than specific muscles because the athletic body needs to perform while using multiple muscle groups. It is very rare for an athlete to need to isolate a single muscle for an athletic movement. A great example of an exercise that transfers into more power on the playing field is the Power Clean.
