  • This Is the First 191 Pages from the Original ALL Pro Beginners Thread
    This is the First 191 pages from the Original ALL Pro Beginners thread. It covers a three year period. It’s only the questions All Pro answered himself. Not all of his responses are here because some were redundant. You will find repetitive answers here for the only reason I was too lazy to delete them. Some even have variations in his responses. I use this to quickly find the “Why” and “How” in this program. I’ve also kept his lifting/non‐lifting “pearls of wisdom” which were interesting. Please note, as you know people misspell quite often and this is the original text (cut and Paste), so when you search the document, keep that in mind. The Dark bar is the date and time and post # of the original question. The Yellow Highlighted words are the responses given by All Pro. 08-17-2007, 02:51 PM#3 Originally Posted by BOLT. I like it except if I were to follow it I'd lower the rep ranges a lot. I'd probably start at 4-5 then work up from there. You could start with any thing you wanted to and end it anywhere you wanted to. I just chose to keep it in a range that would split the difference between size and strength for the majority. And be appropriate for ALL of the exercises. I don't think 3 rep calve press's would be very productive or 20 rep bench press's. 08-18-2007, 05:34 AM#7 Originally Posted by LoganX you just described my workout squat 2x8 db sldl 2x8- I hate sldl but I like these bench 2x8 row 2x8 db mp 2x8 db curl 2x8 I lift mon/wed/fri My rep progression isn't like how you described though.

  • EXERCISE DESCRIPTIONS 2015.Docx
    EXERCISE DESCRIPTIONS HANG CLEAN Starting Position: Place hands in an overhead grip slightly wider than shoulder width. Align the feet under the armpits. At the top, slightly bend the knees and tilt the pelvis so the rear end is extended. Movement. This is a simultaneous movement of extending the ankles, knees, and hips and shrugging the shoulders forcefully upward as high as possible. Initiate bar movement with arms locked. Arms should break out to side – not in front. Shoot elbows under the bar, drop the hips (bend knees) and stabilize weight in catch position across top of shoulders. Stand up and execute next rep. SQUAT Starting Position: Position the bar on the trapezius muscles. Adjust hands comfortably, wider than shoulder width. Lift the bar off the rack and take one step back. Position your feet wider than shoulder width and flare the toes out slightly. Legs should be wide enough to allow squat at a proper depth but not too wide so that the knees come inward when squatting. Movement: Keep heels flat on the floor, chest out and chin up. Begin the descent by flexing at the hips, sticking the rear end out slightly and bending at the knees. Keep the head up and chest out throughout the movement, Squat until the thighs are parallel to the floor. Do not bounce in the bottom. Rise from the bottom position forcefully but under control. Imagine pushing the heels through the floor. The shoulders must rise before the hips so that the body stays in the correct position. The back should be flat but angled forward slightly.

Received 14 February, 2016; Accepted 14 April, 2016 This research evaluated the effects of resistance training with upper body plyometric effects on the performance of male basketball players. Sixteen males in the physical education and sport science faculty of Ataturk University were randomly determined into two groups. The experimental group performed a combined strength and plyometric training twice a week for six weeks. Also, experimental group subjected basketball training (2 h), once a week that was separated from strength with plyometric sessions. The control group only participated in basketball skills training, two hours a week. Pre-test and post-test on upper body strength, grip strength, vertical jump and American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) battery of tests were collected for basketball players. Results showed a significant main interaction of intervention and test time on passing skill at F (1, 7) = 0.50, p < 0.05, partial η2 = 0.07. In conclusion, a six-weeks strength and upper body plyometric has significantly lower passing score in compare to the control. Key words: Sport-specific training, resistance training, plyometric training, physical education. INTRODUCTION Basketball is one of the famous physical activity showed increasing in motor performance among youth intermediations in physical education and sport science basketball players (Andrejic, 201).
