Simple Method for Developing Absolute Strength in Athletes

[@moche8185]

please do a full body workout for basketball

[@keithconrad3237]

As Louie Simmons says don’t ditch an exercise just to ditch it. If it is working keep using it, and when progress stalls find another movement. I found my bench press increased and continued to go up when I rotated exercises each week. Week 1 was incline bench for a max set of 5 reps, week 2 was 3 board press for 3-5 reps max, week would be flat bench press with an illegal wide grip, week 4 would be rack lockouts…. Changing the angle or range of motion kept my physically and mentally fresh, and I kept hitting PR’s and injuries were very low if none

[@makueythedub3247]

is it for 3 sets? like 3x5, then next week 3x4, etc

[@keithconrad3237]

@@makueythedub3247 - you warm up for 3-5 sets increasing the weight and then work up to a max set for 5 reps. IIRC weight wise with a max bench of around 500-520 my incline was around 370 for 3-4 reps, 3 board press was working up to a single for 515-535, illegal wide flat bench for 8 reps with 390. After that I would do heavy incline DB bench for 8-12 reps with 120’s-130’s, heavy rowing movement, face pulls, some triceps and done.

[@aztechproductions5146]

De-loading is generally better if you just half the volume and maintain the intensity

[@gshockmusic7037]

but for athletes joint health is more of an issue so he's probably trying to give the joints a rest. You can modulate the intensity in other ways like bands or chains.

@@heungmin8157 it really dehydrates you. Off season, use it to build strength, and hypertrophy. In season should be used to maintain, continue to fix deficiencies. The only supplements you "need" in season are protein and vitamins

Awesome explanation bruh

[@joeschalley3689]

Hey @overtimeathletes Chris! Do you have any plyometrics that focus on hip extension that doesn't stress the ankle? If your athlete is bias to knees and ankles but the hips need power development?? Such as big lineman with bad ankles/knees.

[@aztechproductions5146]

Tbh you may struggle with plyometrics for that purpose. However, you may instead use banded resistance exercises to develop power (such as banded deadlifts, banded hip thrusts, Banded squats) to focus on the hip extensors and develop explosive power without putting shock through the ankles and knees. Banded exercises work great for this because they target the acceleration component of the movement by making the athlete produce additional force at the point in the range of movement where they would typically start decelerating and producing less force.

[@JohnSmith-tk2bx]

The only plyo movements I can think for the hips and takes the knees and ankles out is some type of double knee medicine ball throw against a wall

[@joeschalley3689]

@@aztechproductions5146 Personally, I saw great development with traditional plyos not being the largest athlete but I like your suggestions for increasing power output through bands for my athletes.

[@joeschalley3689]

@@JohnSmith-tk2bx That's another great idea. I know my athletes that need more top end speed development could benefit from that. I just wonder how I can get them to cycle hip extension at a faster rate. A rate that could be similar to sprinting or jumping.

[@ynwa1283]

But the ankle is is such a crucial aspect of plyos, speed, strength, balance, etc and overall athleticism... Asking an athlete to have all of those qualities with bad ankles is like asking for a racecar to break a lap record with 4 flat tires. It just doesn't work. Strengthen up those ankles and the results will come. I had seriously weak Achilles tendons that affected my soccer game. Jump roping and other ankle strengthening exercises did wonders for me.

[@NicholasSunderland]

Hey Chris, For inducing PAP while peaking, what percent of 1RM would you generally have athletes work at? (say for a back squat or trap bar DL). From info you've shared previously I see that athletes tend to stay in that 70-85% ish range for jump training, but if you're trying to maximize the muscle stimulus for PAP, do you want to go above 85%, or potentially go light and fast? I've seen jump training programs/concepts "peak" with light weight & faster reps, vs heavier reps -> PAP, so I'm hoping to better understand the merits of each approach. Appreciate the great info over all these years.

[@overtimeathletes]

I actually train 2 different modalities lighter for more speed around 40-50% of 1RM and then heavier around 85-95% of 1RM

Should I be deadlifting for vertical or squat

[@NicholasSunderland]

Both

[@Alejandro-mv1lh]

Go ahead for fun. The only thing that will get you dunking is jumping drills.

[@abkonk]

@@Alejandro-mv1lh cap

[@abkonk]

Squat is a bit better cause there's more you can do with it (quarter, half, box, atg) and deadlift is a bit more taxing. If you wanna do both- trap bar deadlift

[@keithconrad3237]

Trap bar is a great exercise for deadlifting and vertical. Add to it squats with bands, jump squats with bands, squats with calf raises… also, try doing kneeling squat jumps first with no weigh, then add a bar, and then add weight. They do them at Westside and they are great for your vert.

One focusses on speed/explosive strength/power (speed-strength), the other on strength (strength-speed). Max strength >85% `1RM @ 50-80% .@75-.5 m/s Speed Strength>30-50% @ 1.5-0.75 m/s Explosive Strength 1.5m/s
