Goals:

Strengthen Legs, Increase Flexibility

Strength Training Overload Protocols

Resistance Guidelines

Strength Training: The Right Way

The goal of my strength training program will be to develop overall muscular strength potentials that is safe, sound, sensible, systematic and applicable to your fitness goals.

Begin each set with a goal to complete the number of repetitions listed. The effort must be increasing for every subsequent repetition.

Each repetition should be performed in a controlled, deliberate manner where the exercise is performed with appropriate level of intensity and with the minimal involvement of momentum.

You should continually contract your target musculature during the raising phase and the lowering phase of each repetition.

The lowering phase of every repetition should be slower than the raising phase. A suggested guide is to raise the involved limbs up (push or pull) in 2 seconds or at a 2 count and lower (resist) them in 4 seconds or a 4 count.

Flex the muscle momentarily in the mid-range of each exercise when the muscle is in its “fully contracted position.” Then lower the resistance slowly to the starting position. This is the most difficult way to train; however it is the most productive way to train.

When you are able to complete the exercise in proper form for the prescribed number of repetitions, add the appropriate weight (depending on the difficulty of the exercise) appropriate may be as little as 1 pound, yet not greater than 10 pounds and continue to progress. Never sacrifice quality of lifting form for quantity of weight lifted.

Chart your progression, allow ample time to rest and recover between workouts. You should change your workout every 8-10 weeks to prevent overtraining and monotony.

Use the following protocols for the progressive weight training exercises listed. For best results, perform each progressive weight training workout 2-3 times a week a “minimum” 60 minutes each day, giving the muscle group trained 1 day rest in between training days. You may stretch before, during and after each exercise and or days off. Cardio may be performed “after” strength training and/or on off days.

MAX SET-Single set whereby a 1RM poundage is held 60 seconds statically in the fully contracted position, the weight is reduced 40-50% and performed normally for the prescribed rep range.

POSITIVELY NEGATIVE - set whereby first 5 reps are lifted in a 10 second concentric (push or pull) followed by a “normal speed” (2 second count) eccentric (resistance) rep. After completing half the number (5) reps they are performed vise versa.

SIX SHOOTERS - Set is performed at normal speed (2 count push or pull, 4 count resist) rep whereby every sixth rep the lifter performs a six second concentric (push or pull) and a six second eccentric (resist) rep.

SEVEN-UP-SET - Single set whereby a 30-45 second isometric contraction is front/back loaded in the fully contracted position and pre/proceeded by seven “normal-speed (2 count push or pull, 4 count resist) reps.

12/12'2s - Five consecutive sets of 12 regular speed repetitions. Hold the 12th rep for 12 seconds in the fully contracted/engaged position.
