Strength Training
An introduction to the world of barbells and dumbbells. Our main focus is for students to become comfortable with a loaded bar for the first time. We will focus on the back squat, bench press, deadlift, front squat, strict press, hang/power clean, bench press variations, and squat variations. Students will learn the movements very gradually, progressing from empty bars, to lightly loaded work, before coming to and recording a baseline “max” in each of the major lifts. The students will also learn correct running, acceleration, deceleration and jumping mechanics. Students will progress through speed training drills, agility drills and jump (plyometric) training. The focus is not only on the proper way to lift and run but also on the recording, and progression needed to continually improve.
