Description
The following training program is a 4-week cycle dedicated to increasing high school volleyball or basketball athletes’ strength and power. You’ll train twice a week for 4 weeks for a total of 8x sessions.
FITNESS ATTRIBUTES
This program uses basic barbell movements to train strength. Each strength portion is followed by a short, intense, 3 min. work capacity effort, then a core circuit and some durability work.
The program notates circuits that you’ll complete with numbers in parentheses, e.g. (1), (2), (3)… Complete one circuit, then move onto the other, and so on through the entire session. The sessions follow a general format:
- Parts (1) and (2): The strength work is designed to build strength, not mass, of the upper and lower body. You’ll be doing low reps and high weight.
- Part (3): The work capacity efforts mimic the movement patterns in the strength work. They are short, so go as hard as you can for these.
- Part (4): The core work is designed to build total midsection strength, with some emphasis on improving lower back strength.
- Part (5): The durability work revolves around the strength and mobility of the gluteus medius, the hip stabilizer that prevents knee dive (a prevalent problem for developing athletes, especially females, and the rotator cuff muscles, the 4 muscles that stabilize the upper arm bone over the scapula.
SCHEDULE
In general, you want to train twice a week on the same days. This program prescribes Monday and Wednesday, however, if that doesn’t work with your volleyball training schedule, change it.
If you want to strength train and know there is a hard practice coming later in the day or the next day, do the strength work in parts (1) and (2), skip (3), then do (4) and (5).
If you’re pressed for time, do Parts (1), (2), and (4).
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
This program requires a fully equipped high school weightroom including barbells, racks, dumbbells and plyo boxes.
