This is something I put together after reading up on strength and explosive training. It's geared towards making me stronger and more explosive at the same time. What do you guys think of power cleans being 2x5? I was thinking and have read that it's best to do fewer power cleans since they are made for improving explosive strength, but are a must have when training for football. My reasoning for Day Two was for it to be a bit easier on my CNS with higher reps as to reduce the risk of burning out. I think I did a good job picking and choosing exercises. Also I chose to do 3x5 for deadlifts on the reason alone that they are a very demanding exercise that I think I personally get more out of them with few reps. Any questions feel free to ask.
Day One - Strength Day
Squats (Legs, Back) 4x5
Deadlifts (Back, Legs) 3x5
Flat Bench Press (Pecs, Triceps, Shoulders) 4x5
Hanging Leg Raises (Abs) 3x15 supersetted with Alternating Heal Touches (Abs) 3x30
Lying L Raises (Rotator Cuff) 10lbsxmax
Day Two - Hypertrophy and "Light" Day
Good Mornings (Hamstrings, Lower Back) 3x8
Bent Over Rows (Back, Lats, Biceps) 3x8
Dips (Chest, Triceps, Shoulders) 3xMax
Bench Cliffs (Abs) 3x10
Russian Twists (Abs) 3x15
Day Three - Explosive Day
Power Cleans (All) 2x5
Squats (Legs, Back) 4x5
Explosive Pushups (Pecs, Tris, Shoulders) 8x3-4
Overhead Press (Shoulders, Triceps) 4x5
Throw Downs (Abs) 3x10
Strength Lifts
Light, warm up cardio.
The tempo should be a 3-1-1 on all lift (exception is deadlifts which will be 1-1-1).
5 minutes of stretching before and after lifting.
Hypertrophy and "Light" Day
Light, warm up cardio.
The tempo should be the same as Day One- Strength Lifts, 3-1-1.
Stretch for 5 minutes before and after.
Explosive Lifts
Light, warm up cardio.
The tempo should be a 3-0-EXPLODE (Exception with explosive pushups which is 1 second down, explode up off the ground, smooth negative (about 1 second), repeat)
Weights will be lighter than Day One- Strength Lifts due to the need to train for explosive strength.
5 minutes of stretching before and after.
Thanks in advance,
Vermonta
