Power

Power = Force x Distance/Time

Power = Strength x Flexibility/Speed

To become faster and a more powerful athlete, you need to exert a greater force, through a greater range of motion, in the shortest amount of time. To become powerful, you need to include:

• Proper Speed drills
• Active Isolated Stretching
• Strength & Stability
• Eccentric Strength

This program can help you achieve this formula.

Functional power comes from explosive running, skipping, jumping, shuffling & bounding. It is important to build a strong foundation, and grow upon it. Skipping with quick rhythmic explosions will make you stronger. Combine this with a diverse regiment plyometric jumps to get fast and long lasting results. Quick little jumps and double leg hops forward and sideways with change of direction (no extra steps for development of eccentric strength) will generate great power. Bounding also develops power and absolute speed. So, make sure to mix it up and go for length, height and/or width. Combine these drills with Olympic Lifting for sport and see your athleticism improve to an entire new dimension. Athleticism also develops power training with Medicine Balls.  There are unlimited ways to train with medicine balls. They are fun and you can train explosively with them. Utilizing the same proper techniques and posture as lifting weights, the medicine ball can be absorbed and thrown explosively. This includes both concentric and eccentric motions of muscle contraction and stretching. They are one of the most functional ways to train your muscles and core strength. Equal development on both sides of your body is critical to proper training. Training with the medicine ball also helps us become more ambidextrous, since we have to train equally on both sides. Each exercise can also be tailored to be very sport specific to the individuals needs.
