Training Series

This cycle
is based upon building a foundation of internal joint/tendon and
muscle strength, as well as endurance. All percentages are based
upon maximum lifts in the Clean & Jerk, Bench Press, Competition
Deadlift and Squat. This program stage is based on the principles
of German Volume training, but is designed with intricate variations
for the high school athlete. The main emphasis here has been shown
to be "injury prevention" and laying a "base" of muscular strength
development and technical mastery.
Strength
and Power Training Outside the Weightroom
Article By Don Babbit: Track & Field Coach
University of Georgia, Athens, GA
With the
beginning of the track and field season drawing near, high school
track coaches may find themselves in a situation where they are
unable to condition their whole squad in the weightroom. In many
cases, the weightroom may be too small, while the track and field
squads very large. In other cases, sports such as football may
also be using the weightroom at the desired time making it hard
to squeeze in a whole workout for the track and field team.
Strength
Training for Throwers
Article By Bill Pendleton: Esperanza High School
Without question,
weight training has to be a major component in the development
of a successful thrower. A skilled athlete can be a good thrower
without weight training, but that athlete will never reach his/her
potential without weighttraining. Whatever a muscle can do, a
stronger, faster, more flexible muscle can do better.
