Dear Athlete,
Whatever sport or event you compete in, the following statement is a given:
To be a winner today, you need strength. And lots of it.
I’m not talking about pumping iron to get the biggest muscles you possibly can. (Because big muscles won’t necessarily make you strong.)
For rapid, measurable improvement to your performance, you need to focus on building solid levels of strength, and then converting that strength into explosive athletic power.
The stronger your muscles, the more forceful your contractions...
The faster you will run, higher you will jump, further you will throw or kick, and the harder you will hit.
Pretty straightforward, really.
You only have to look at pro athletes like Didier Drogba or Rafael Nadal to see the benefits of strength training.
These guys know that building up their strength – and maintaining it throughout the season – will make them unbeatable and capable of delivering top-level performances time and time again.
They aren’t bodybuilders. They don’t spend their days lifting weights purely to make them look good.
What they know, crucially, is that there’s no better way to ensure they perform to their utmost potential when it comes to the crunch.
And you can too.
Condition your body with strength training and you’ll not only increase your performance potential, but you’ll protect yourself from injury at the same time. (Plus, add much-needed variety to your training, too.)
My new Complete Strength Training Pack – available for instant download – includes 11 ready-made, printable workouts and an expert training guide for you to increase strength in your:
 Core
Arms
Back
Chest
Shoulders
Legs
Plus, you’ll develop your all-over muscular endurance too, meaning you can sustain high intensity work for longer periods, with less fatigue.
We’ve made this training pack suitable for all athletes, so you can achieve optimum strength whatever your sport or ability. And it has input from international-level coaches and training experts, who use these methods with their own clients, so you can be sure that they work...
11 challenging workouts to increase your muscle mass, strength and power
Strength is not just a requirement of heavy-duty sports like rugby... It’s the basis for optimal speed, agility and power.
Sprinters... swimmers... even cyclists need to strength train.
Essentially, you won’t get very far in your sport without incorporating it into your year-round conditioning.
At some point, you’ll stop seeing improvements and hit the dreaded ‘plateau’. But simply developing non-specific base strength can significantly boost your performance and fitness levels.
So to get you started right away, I’ve put 11 pre-prepared workouts in the Complete Strength Training Pack.
Through performing new exercises you’ve not tried before, you’ll shock your muscles into growth but without adding any extra ‘bulk’. Each workout takes a strand of strength development – such as lower body or chest and back – and targets those muscles through specific movements.
The 11 workouts included in your pack are:
Supersets Training (2 parts) Use hypertrophy (growth) workouts, which utilise pre-exhaust super-sets, to develop muscle size in the upper and lower body, as part of a weekly split routine.
Resistance Training (2 parts) Develop your all-round muscular endurance with these weighted exercises, which incorporates one TRX-based resistance training workout.
Dumbbell Exercises (3 parts)Develop all-round muscular endurance (the ability to sustain repeated contractions against resistance for an extended period of time) using this series of 3 dumbbell workouts. Ideal for endurance athletes and team sports players.
Lower Body StrengthDevelop muscle size in your legs and strengthen your core, as part of a weekly split routine, using basic weight room equipment.
Muscle Building: Chest & BackDevelop muscle size in the chest and back, as part of a weekly split routine, with exercises that use free and fixed weights and an exercise bench.
Muscle Building: Arms & ShouldersDevelop muscle size in the arms and shoulders, as part of a weekly split routine.
Multidirectional Strength and Movement TrainingDevelop strength in different planes in order to achieve a variety of movements, using exercises such as Turkish Get-Ups and Half Moons.
There’s no planning involved; it’s already been done for you.
Simply download and print off the workouts you want to try, and build them in around the rest of your training. They come with full instructions, reps and sets, and detailed step-by-step descriptions of the exercises.
Plus, you won’t find them anywhere else online. They’ve been created especially for us, by a range of top sports coaches.
And that’s just the beginning of what you’ll receive in your pack...
These little-known expert ‘secrets’ will take your strength training to elite levels...
With so much conflicting advice on strength training doing the rounds online, it can be hard to know where to start.
Naturally, your biggest concern is how reliable training methods are, or what results they can produce.
That’s why your Complete Strength Training Pack also includes an authoritative training guide, packed with little-known, proven tweaks and tips that’ll take your training that little bit further.
Best of all, most athletes and coaches are largely unaware of them.
Inside your guide, you’ll find out strength training ‘secrets’ like this:
- The golden formula for weight training sessions that build up maximum strength and power (hint - variety is the key)
|
- Cracking the code of exercise choice: how to select the movements that make a real difference to performance, and which are a waste of your time
|
- How training a particular muscle fibre will quickly have you sprinting for the finish line at lightning speed
|
- Why the quality, not quantity, of your training is the key to generating explosive power – see where your coach has been advising you incorrectly
|
- Optimum training combinations that increase average one repetition maximum (1RM) performance for squats to 140.5kg, and depth jumps to 144.5kg
|
- Six top weight training tips every athlete needs to know – don’t hit the gym until you’ve read them!
|
All the important bases are covered in your guide, from how to design a well structured training programme, to exercises for strengthening any desired muscle group in your body. There are even suggested sessions for keeping up your training when on vacation.
Every single contributor to this guide has extensive, hands-on experience in the sports training field (from club to Olympic level), and in-depth knowledge of what really works – and what doesn’t – for producing that extra edge.
And their advice is backed up by concrete evidence from scientific trials, case studies and day-to-day professional practice.
They include:
James Marshall MSc, CSCS, ACSM/HFI, runs Excelsior, a sports training company.
|
John Shepherd MA, a specialist health, sport and fitness writer and a former international long jumper.
|
Phil Gardiner, a United Kingdom Athletics (UKA) Level 4 coach.
|
Raphael Brandon MSc, a sports conditioning and fitness specialist. He is also London Region Strength and Conditioning Coach for the English Institute of Sport.
|
In other words, you get world-class conditioning tips direct from the people in the know, which you can adapt to meet your specific needs.
Frankly, you won’t find a more practical, comprehensive guide to unleashing your full strength potential, or enhancing your overall fitness.
Certainly not one without a hefty price tag.
Apply these tried-and-tested approaches to your own training and you’ll quickly see that a set of strong, flexible muscles can not only withstand competitive sport far better than the non-strength trained, but can reach new heights of sporting success.
Only then will you be propelled from your current position right to the top of the winner’s podium, where you belong.
Make strength training part of your strategy for unbeatable performance...
Too many athletes and coaches seem to be caught up in a ‘bigger and heavier is better’ strategy when it comes to training with weights.
But rather than help you run that few seconds quicker or throw that few metres further, having too much bulk on your frame is more likely to slow you down. (There’s a reason why a bodybuilder could never run as fast as Usain Bolt.)
Your aim is not to lift the heaviest weight possible for the highest number of times... but to build a solid strength base that can then be channelled into faster sprints, higher or longer jumps, and tougher tackles.
This is exactly what the workouts and tips in your Complete Strength Training Pack will help you achieve.
Fine-tuning the power exerted from the muscles you use most, in movements and positions that replicate those of actual competition, will make that vital difference.
Whether you are an endurance athlete, or one who relies on short, sharp blasts of speed and power, you need to tailor your weight training to the demands of your specific sport. And as the tips and techniques in this pack remain, in large part, unknown to most athletes and coaches, you’ll have a distinct advantage over most of your fellow competitors.
Remember to savour the looks on their faces when you next compete!
