Use Contrasting in your Workouts

"Plyo-metrics are the only way to go to train for power", "The stability ball is the best
thing ever", "Pilates is the way to go"’ "Free weights or it isn’t training", we have all
heard that some type of training is the sliver bullet to success. When the truth lies
somewhere in the middle, each different type of training covers a different facet of
development or creates a different way to challenge the body, each one has strengths and
weaknesses. Why not "Contrast" your workouts to include the better of each one.
Simply, use one exercise from one philosophy and pair it with a second exercise from a
different philosophy and see how your body responds.

Sport Specific Training

A thought on sport specific training..

Don’t go off the deep end and change your whole program. The tried and true principles of power and speed training still work. Just take about 10-15% of your program and dedicate it to the specific movements that are specific to your event.
