GENERAL INFORMATION
Design
The Strength and Conditiong Program is designed to : 1) emphasize ground-based activities; 2) incorporate multiple joint actions; 3) implement three dimensional movements; 4) implement explosive training techniques; 5) utilize the progressive overload principle; 6) utilize the periodization concept; 7) utilize a split routine; 8) utilize a hard/easy system; 9) train the proper energy system; and, 10) utilize interval training methods.
Strategy
The strategy is to implement three minicycles that last three weeks each and constitute a cycle. At the end of the cycle the players are tested to determine their improvement. The three minicycles are: 1) Phase I- the endurance phase (foundation); 2) Phase II- the basic strength phase (building); and, 3) Phase III- the peaking phase (maximum strength).
Objectives
The objectives of the strength and conditioning program are: 1) to increase the player's size; 2) to increase the player's strength; 3) to increase the player's speed; 4) to increase the player's stamina; 5) to increase the player's knowledge of nutrition; 6) to increase the player's confidence; and, 7) to prevent injuries.
Basic Lifts
The core lifts are: 1) Hang Clean; 2) Split Jerk; 3) Back Squat; and, 4) Flat Bench Press. The auxillary lifts are: 1) Hang Snatch; 2) Power Jerk; 3) Straight Leg Deadlift; 4) Hyperextensions; 5) Hammer Curls; 6) Wrist Curls; 7) Four Way Neck; 8) Lateral Lunges; 9) Incline Bench Press; 10) Stepups; 11) Dips; 12) Calf Raises; 13) Tricep Curls; and, 14) Crunches/Russian Twists.
